Don't let pelvic floor issues hold you back any longer!

Are you a woman experiencing uncomfortable symptoms you're too embarrassed to talk about? You are not alone. Many women suffer in silence from pelvic floor disorders, but expert help is available right here in Manahawkin.

Laurie A. Kane, M.D., a urogynecologist with Hackensack Meridian Medical Group and the Medical Director for the Division of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at Southern Ocean Medical Center, sheds light on this common issue. She explains that the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles can lead to a variety of symptoms, from a bothersome bulge in the vagina to urinary incontinence.

"Typical symptoms are vaginal bulge, feeling like a mass is coming out of the vagina," says Dr. Kane. "Some patients describe it as they feel like their insides are coming out, or a pressure sensation."

Childbirth, menopause, and even chronic constipation can contribute to these problems. The good news? You don't have to live with it. Dr. Kane emphasizes that there are effective treatments available.

"It's sad to see patients who have been dealing with the problem for so long, because they were too embarrassed to come forward for treatment," she says.
