This ISSM Webinar will be about the Hyperactive pelvic floor: what about it? Pelvic floor disorders have an impact on society by having a detrimental effect on sexual response, namely by causing pain or discomfort during sex. Interventions on sexuality that involve acting on the pelvic floor (e.g., Kegel exercises) are common. However, there is little visibility and awareness about pelvic floor disorders, in general, and specifically about their consequences on sexuality. Furthermore, knowledge about the processes and suitability involved in pelvic floor interventions is missing.
In this webinar, we hope to contribute to clarifying the important role that pelvic floor disorders and interventions have in explaining and treating sexual problems.
