Hello. My name is Dr. Karyn Eilber, and I'm a urologist who specializes in urogynecology, which is the treatment of women's pelvic floor disorders, including sexual dysfunction. I'm here to answer questions submitted by the plusOne community, and one of the questions is, what is your pelvic floor?

The pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles at the base of the pelvis that surrounds the anus as well as the vagina. The muscles are all interconnected and they help to support the organs of the pelvis.

Strengthening the pelvic floor improves conditions like urinary incontinence or loss of urine, as well as prolapse, which are when the pelvic organs are falling.

Follow along to see what question is answered next.
