Abstract

Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is an umbrella term including a myriad of conditions including urinary and anal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction. High impact sports have been linked with an increased risk of developing PFD. For instance, up to 76% of female volleyball players reported urinary symptoms. Despite the widespread occurrence and consequences of PFD, it remains under reported by athletes.1 2 Misinformation, misperceptions and miseducation about PFD for both clinicians and athletes can adversely impact an athlete’s health, care, training and performance.
