Pelvic Floor Health

What is Female Pelvic Health?

Female pelvic health refers to the well-being of the pelvic region, which includes the bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum. The pelvic floor muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues support these organs and play a crucial role in their function. Maintaining pelvic health is essential for overall well-being, as it impacts various aspects of a woman's daily life and sexual health.

Importance of Pelvic Health

The pelvic floor muscles are responsible for several vital functions:

  • Support: They provide support to the pelvic organs, preventing conditions like pelvic organ prolapse.
  • Control: They help control bladder and bowel movements, preventing incontinence.
  • Sexual Function: Healthy pelvic floor muscles contribute to sexual satisfaction and reduce pain during intercourse.
  • Stability: They aid in stabilizing the spine and pelvis, contributing to overall core strength and balance.

Impact on Daily Health

Pelvic health significantly affects a woman's daily life. Issues with the pelvic floor can lead to:

  • Incontinence: Difficulty controlling bladder or bowel movements, leading to accidental leakage.
  • Pelvic Pain: Chronic pain in the pelvic region, which can affect mobility and comfort.
  • Prolapse: When pelvic organs drop from their normal position, causing discomfort and pressure.
  • Bowel Issues: Problems with bowel movements, including constipation and incomplete evacuation.

These conditions can impact a woman's ability to perform daily activities, leading to reduced quality of life and emotional distress.

Impact on Sexual Health

Pelvic health is closely linked to sexual health. Problems with the pelvic floor can cause:

  • Pain During Intercourse: Conditions like vaginismus and dyspareunia can make sex painful.
  • Reduced Sexual Satisfaction: Weak pelvic floor muscles can lead to decreased sensation and satisfaction during sex.
  • Emotional Impact: Sexual health issues can affect a woman's self-esteem and intimate relationships.

Maintaining pelvic health through exercises, such as Kegels, and seeking medical advice when needed can help improve sexual function and overall well-being.

Treatments for Pelvic Health Issues

To address pelvic health issues, various treatments are available:

  • Pelvic Floor Exercises: Also known as Kegel exercises, these strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improving support and control.
  • Physical Therapy: Specialized physical therapy can help with pelvic pain, incontinence, and prolapse through targeted exercises and techniques.
  • Medications: Certain medications can help manage symptoms of pelvic health issues, such as pain and incontinence.
  • Surgery: In severe cases, surgical interventions may be necessary to correct prolapse or other structural issues.
  • Biofeedback: This technique uses sensors to help women learn how to control their pelvic floor muscles more effectively.
  • Pessary: A device inserted into the vagina to support pelvic organs and relieve symptoms of prolapse.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, and managing chronic conditions can improve pelvic health.

In conclusion, female pelvic health is vital for a woman's daily and sexual health. Addressing pelvic health issues promptly and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can significantly improve quality of life and overall well-being.

Patient Feedback for Z Urology

Our patients are the reason we strive for exceptional urological care and treatment! Here’s what some of our South Florida patients are saying about their experience at our clinics.
  • I have recommended many people to this office and each one has thanked me. On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best), Dr. Z and his staff are a 12.
    – Alex S.
  • The wait was not long. I was greeted by a friendly nurse who took my sonogram of the kidneys and bladder. The doctor came in after a short time. Dr. Hollowell has a gentle voice and great bedside manner. He is very informative about my issues and I left feeling relieved and hopeful for future visits. The receptionists were also helpful and friendly. I recommend this office. Just wish it was closer to home.
    – Allison T.
  • "I found Doctor Varghese through my insurance provider network and read reviews in Healthgrades. Dr. Varghese is terrific. She explains things so they are easy to understand. I feel she is on top of several medical problems I’m having. I had a cystoscopy and was offered nitric oxide (mild gas). It was perfect. I have had the procedure in the past but it was the most uncomfortable feeling I ever experienced. Not this time. Doctor Varghese is an excellent listener and remembers what I tell her from the previous visits.

    Let me sum up my feelings about being under Dr. Varghese's care. I have new health insurance now so I can see doctors near my home, but instead I’ll continue to drive 75 miles each way to and from Pompano Beach to Stuart, FL [to see her].”
    – Jeffery P.
  • “I've been coming here for cancer for 10 years and I've had nothing but good visits every time. Staff is friendly and the doctors and PA'S are great. Dr. Z takes the time to ask questions and explain everything. He is amazing.”

    – Bill S.
  • “El Dr. Pedro Espino Grosso es un médico especialista en Urología es también especialista en entender, comprender y atender la preocupación de su paciente. Gracias por su profesionalismo como para todo el staff y las enfermeras por su amable y compasivo trato. Por favor no cambien!”
    – Ana L.

  • “Dr. Mini Varghese of Z Urology is without a doubt the best Urologist in South Florida. She not only takes care of my father but now she's taking care of all my needs too. The team she has behind her at Z Urology is amazing, they go up and beyond their call of duty. A big shoutout to Z Urology in Pompano Beach, FL, thanks for keeping the pipes flowing...you gals are the Best!!!! Thanks Dr. Varghese.”
    – Brent S.
  • “Dr. Brar was awesome! He was very thorough with everything to ensure we got to the bottom of my issue! I felt like he cared and listened. I will be going back. The office was busy and some people were waiting a while but I was seen fairly quickly, I did fill out all the paperwork ahead of time so not sure if that helped! The person who helped me at the front desk was great and helped me with all my questions.”
    – Britney C.
  • Everyone seemed nice, friendly and welcoming. I was also impressed with the examination and the way the staff treated me. Dr. Mike took the time with me to listen and advise me as to what treatment plan might be needed.
    – Jimmy Z.
  • Great specialist, hard to find a more personable and efficient medical office anywhere else. I was welcome from the moment I came in, everyone was very friendly and all my questions and needs were expertly attended to. Never been to a urologist so this was new to me, but I definitely felt comfortable and heard. It was a drive from neighboring Miami but well worth it. Highly recommend. Thanks, Dr. Z!
    – Jose T.

  • Thank you Dr. Michael Zahalsky for the surgery, you changed my life completely. I'm so happy, now no more pain and I'm feeling better than ever, thanks again for the great staff in your office. Very professional. Felt like family.
    – Frank C.

  • They are very friendly. My surgeon went through the same procedure and read my mind of all my concerns. He reassured me everything would be okay and life would go on.
    – Jeremy C.


  • Three words: Kind, Caring and Compassionate! This office is the best of the best. The front desk employees are super friendly and the doctors are professional and spoke to me in a down-to-earth & making it easier for me to understand what was going on. I am able to make informed decisions with the material that was provided to me.
    – A.D.Z.



  • I had a great first visit with Dr. Z and his staff. I was seen within a reasonable amount of time. Dr. Z was personable and, after hearing my history and doing a targeted physical exam, directed his staff to perform ultrasound and bladder testing which was done efficiently and with discretion. Dr. Z then came in and spent a good amount of time explaining a clinical treatment plan. I left feeling I was in the hands of a total professional office from the top down.
    – Harvey A.




  • Z urology is the best and I have to say Dr. Zahalsky is extremely knowledgeable and such a humble and pleasant human being. I always feel welcome at Z Urology.
    – Kimaro W.
