What to expect
We begin the assessment by taking a thorough history. We need to know when your symptoms started and what your current concerns are. You may feel that you have an extensive story - that's okay! It is important to understand the full background of what has led to your appointment.
In most cases, the best way to assess pelvic floor function is by conducting an internal pelvic or vaginal examination.
