Dr. Martinolich is a member of the UBMD Center for Pelvic Health, a cohort of physicians and therapists focusing on diagnosing and treating pelvic floor disorders. The pelvic floor is the group of muscles forming a sling across the floor of the pelvis, holding the pelvic organs (bladder, urethra, intestines, and rectum; and in women the uterus, cervix, and vagina) in place so they can function correctly. Pelvic Floor Disorders (PFD) occur when the pelvic muscles and connective tissue weaken or are injured. The most common types of PFDs include the following:
• Accidental Bowel Leakage
• Anal Sphincter Injury
• Chronic Constipation
• Obstructive Defecation
• Rectal Prolapse
• Pelvic Organ Prolapse
• Pelvic Pain
• Rectovaginal Fistula
