Support from Within: Pelvic Floor Health and Aging Well

As we get older, many people notice changes in pelvic floor function, which can show up as urinary leakage or difficulty controlling the bladder. In this episode of Aging Forward, John Occhino, M.D., explains why these issues are common, but not an inevitable part of aging. He discusses pelvic floor disorders, reviews nonsurgical and surgical treatment options, and explains how to perform Kegel exercises correctly.
