6. Pelvic floor dysfunction encompasses a variety of symptoms and anatomical changes related to the pelvic floor.  These changes often occur with varying disease states, aging, pregnancy, weight gain or loss, and connective tissue disorders.  Pelvic floor dysfunction can include urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, constipation, overactive bladder, fecal incontinence, chronic pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis, vestibulodynia, and chronic low back pain.  The pelvic floor contains the bladder, uterus, rectum, urethra, and anus along with the vaginal vestibule and clitoris.  Many glands, nerves, muscles, tendons, arteries, veins, and various connective tissues form a support for the various organs of the pelvic floor.  Dysfunction in any of the supportive tissues can affect the pelvic floor organs and vice versa.  Pelvic floor dysfunction involves a complex interplay of all these components, and treatment is often multifactorial and complex
