Pelvic floor disorders: myths vs. reality

We welcome Carmen Fong, a colorectal surgeon, to discuss the often overlooked yet critical topic of pelvic floor dysfunction. Drawing from her extensive experience, Carmen shares insights from the Pelvic Floor Symposiums, the challenges of treating pelvic floor patients, and the misconceptions surrounding these disorders. We'll explore the stigma attached to pelvic floor issues, the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, and strategies for improving diagnosis and treatment. Join us for an enlightening conversation on why addressing pelvic floor dysfunction is vital for overall health and quality of life. Carmen Fong is a colorectal surgeon.
