The pelvic floor is a group of soft and connective tissues (muscles and fascia) in the lower pelvic cavity. Its functions in women include:

support of the pelvic organs (uterus, bladder, and rectum);
regulation of urination and defecation;
participation in regulating intra-abdominal pressure;
participation in childbirth.

Disorders in the pelvic floor muscles can lead to a range of diseases and problems such as organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and more. All of these can cause physical discomfort in a woman’s life, negatively affect her intimate life, and contribute to the development of depressive states.

Ultrasound examination of the pelvic floor is an informative diagnostic procedure for assessing the condition of the pelvic floor parameters. It is recommended for preventive purposes (to prevent the development of complications), when complaints arise, or during treatment.

The Med-Atlant private medical center in Ivano-Frankivsk is the only place where ultrasound of the pelvic floor can be performed.

Visualising is carried out by Natalia Ursaki, an ambitious, experienced, and responsible doctor specializing in the diagnosis of the pelvic floor, pelvic organs, pregnancy check-ups, etc.
