Common Pelvic Floor Conditions

Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) causes a sensation of incomplete evacuation despite straining. Faecal incontinence ranges from minor leakage to complete loss of bowel control. Rectal prolapse involves the rectum protruding through the anus. Dyssynergic defecation is paradoxical pelvic floor contraction when you should be relaxing. Each condition requires specific diagnosis and targeted therapy.

Treatment Approach

Treatment begins with accurate functional diagnosis using anorectal manometry and, when needed, defecography. Biofeedback therapy is the cornerstone of conservative management — helping patients retrain pelvic floor coordination through real-time visual feedback. Pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises), dietary modifications, and bowel habit training complement biofeedback. Surgery is reserved for structural problems or cases not responding to rehabilitation.

FAQs about Pelvic Floor Therapy in Pune

What is pelvic floor dysfunction?

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when the muscles of the pelvic floor do not coordinate properly — leading to problems with bowel control, incomplete evacuation, rectal prolapse, or chronic pelvic pain. It can result from childbirth, chronic straining, surgery, ageing, or neurological conditions.

What conditions does pelvic floor therapy address?

Pelvic floor therapy helps with obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS), faecal incontinence, rectal prolapse, post-surgical continence rehabilitation, chronic pelvic pain, and dyssynergic defecation (paradoxical pelvic floor contraction during bowel movements).

How is pelvic floor dysfunction diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves clinical history, digital rectal examination, anorectal manometry (measures sphincter pressures), balloon expulsion test, and sometimes defecography (dynamic imaging during evacuation). Dr. Kharde uses these investigations to identify the specific dysfunction pattern.

What does biofeedback therapy involve?

Biofeedback uses sensors to display pelvic floor muscle activity on a screen, helping patients learn to coordinate these muscles correctly. Sessions typically run 30-45 minutes, and most patients need 6-10 sessions for improvement. It is painless and performed in the clinic.

Is pelvic floor therapy effective?

Biofeedback therapy has well-documented success rates of 60-80% for conditions like dyssynergic defecation and mild faecal incontinence. Results depend on diagnosis accuracy, patient commitment to exercises, and consistency with sessions. It is often the first line before considering surgery.

When is surgery needed for pelvic floor problems?

Surgery may be indicated for rectal prolapse (rectopexy), rectocele causing obstructed defecation, or severe incontinence not responding to conservative therapy. Dr. Kharde discusses surgical options only after thorough functional assessment and a trial of conservative measures.

How much does pelvic floor therapy cost?

Costs vary based on the investigations needed and number of biofeedback sessions. Dr. Kharde provides a treatment plan with cost estimate after initial assessment. Call +91 99602 83338 to schedule a consultation.
