Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce pelvic floor dysfunction and treatment in female athletes. Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a composed of a variety of disorders that involve some level of impairment of the pelvic floor musculature. Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect both sports performance and quality of life in female athletes. PFD during elite performance years can increase the likelihood of PFD symptoms later in life as well. This chapter delves into the anatomy, exam, and potential treatments of PFD to be aware of. There is crucial importance in early recognition and multi-disciplinary treatment plan tailored to these specific dysfunctions and compensatory muscle behaviors, postural imbalances, and psychosocial manifestations. This chapter provides a comprehensive guide for healthcare professionals and athletes to foster a holistic approach to female athlete well-being.
