Maria had been quietly dealing with leaks every time she laughed, coughed, or tried a morning jog. She told herself it was “just part of having kids.”
When a friend suggested she try Kegels, Maria dutifully squeezed and released her pelvic muscles while waiting at red lights or brushing her teeth. But months later, nothing had changed. She still planned her days around bathroom access and kept an extra change of clothes in her car, “just in case.”
It wasn’t until she visited MacArthur Medical’s urogynecology team that Maria realized there were far more effective, personalized solutions available, backed by advanced diagnostics, medical expertise, and a compassionate approach that restored not only her health but also her confidence.
Understanding the Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus, rectum, and other pelvic organs. When these structures weaken or become damaged (often due to pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, or aging), it can lead to issues like:
- Urinary or fecal incontinence
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Chronic bladder pain or discomfort
- Difficulty with sexual function
While Kegel exercises can be part of a healthy pelvic floor routine, they’re rarely the whole answer, especially if the issue is caused by more complex muscle dysfunction or anatomical changes.
Why Many Women Struggle in Silence
Pelvic floor problems are incredibly common, but because they involve such personal areas of health, many women delay seeking help. Some are embarrassed to bring it up; others believe it’s “normal” after childbirth or menopause.
At MacArthur Medical, we want every patient to know: pelvic floor disorders are not something you just have to live with, and today’s treatments are more advanced, effective, and discreet than ever before.
Beyond Kegels: Our Advanced Approach
Our urogynecology specialists start with a detailed evaluation to pinpoint the exact cause of your symptoms. From there, we design a personalized treatment plan, which may include:
- Pelvic floor physical therapy with targeted exercises and biofeedback to retrain and strengthen muscles.
- Minimally invasive procedures to restore pelvic support and relieve incontinence or prolapse symptoms.
- Specialized devices like pessaries, which offer non-surgical support for pelvic organs.
- Lifestyle and nutrition guidance to reduce inflammation, improve muscle tone, and support long-term pelvic health.
- Postpartum recovery programs tailored to help new mothers heal effectively after delivery.
By addressing the root cause instead of offering a one-size-fits-all solution, we help women find lasting results.
Discretion and Compassion, Every Step of the Way
We understand that talking about bladder leaks, prolapse, or pelvic pain can feel uncomfortable. That’s why we provide an environment that’s both private and supportive. Our consultations allow time for all your questions, and our providers explain every recommendation clearly so you feel informed and heard.
Our patients often say that the hardest part was making the first appointment. After that, they feel relief simply knowing there’s a plan in place.
When pelvic floor problems improve, so much else improves along with them. Patients tell us they feel comfortable exercising again, confident traveling without “bathroom mapping,” and are able to enjoy intimacy without discomfort or anxiety.
