What this research studies
This initiative aims to bring together experts to conduct important research on pelvic floor disorders in women. We are focused on including a diverse group of women in our studies and ensuring their continued participation. Our goal is to develop new research ideas that help us understand why these conditions happen and how to prevent them. We also plan to lead a larger study focused on preventing urinary and fecal incontinence.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Women experiencing or at risk for pelvic floor disorders, including urinary or fecal incontinence, may be ideal candidates for participation.
Not a fit: Patients not experiencing or at risk for pelvic floor disorders would likely not benefit directly from this specific research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to new ways to prevent and treat pelvic floor disorders, improving the quality of life for many women.
How similar studies have performed: This research builds upon previous successful efforts within a long-standing network dedicated to studying pelvic floor disorders.
