Pelvic floor pathology mainly affects women who have had children, with traumatic childbirth being the main risk factor. It can have a profound effect on the quality of life of those who suffer from it. Its symptoms are varied: pain with sexual intercourse, sensation of weight, difficulty in defecating, faecal or urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse...

It is frequently underdiagnosed. Most often it does not require surgery but appropriate specialist-led rehabilitation, but if it fails, surgery can bring clear benefits.

Diagnosis will be suspected on clinical grounds and several tests will be necessary, but dynamic defecography or dynamic pelvic MRI should be part of them.

If surgery is chosen, it can be performed using minimally invasive techniques.
