Forward2016 Women's Pelvic Health Congress
Medical research and patient voice indicate that the majority of primary care providers, the first line of screening and diagnosis for female pelvic floor dysfunctions, receive inadequate education and training to identify and address the current expanding need for pelvic floor services and improve treatment outcomes. Despite the fact that childbirth and menopause are the leading causes of pelvic floor dysfunctions, insufficient core curriculum is provided to primary care clinicians in these topics to address women’s health issues and/or enable appropriate patient evaluation and specialist referral. Additionally, conditions associated with pelvic floor disorders (such as urinary tract infection, vaginal atrophy, and sexual dysfunction) also are poorly recognized, managed and integrated into care of the underlying pelvic disorders.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this course, I will be able to:
- Recognize conditions associated with pelvic floor disorders (such as urinary tract infection, vaginal atrophy, and sexual dysfunction) which are also are poorly recognized, and improve management and integration into care of the underlying pelvic disorders. There will be opportunity to discuss failures of these methods and potential future directions for improved results.
- Study about new research on how diet, medications and the human biome affect continence and bladder and bowel health.
- Outline manners in which pregnancy, aging, repetitive stress and hormone depletion, each play separate but potentially negatively synergistic effect on risks for POP and poorer healing from treatments.
- Promote successful pessary use and appropriate pelvic floor physical therapy
- Bridge various specialties engaged in the POP arena to enable POP awareness, reduce stigma and allow provider opportunities to meet the experts committed to evolving pelvic floor diagnostic curriculum and continue to promote continuing identification and discourse on the current expanding need for pelvic floor services.
