BV is a common vaginal infection that affects women in their reproductive years. In this week's video, we will be talking about vaginitis and how it affects the pelvic floor muscles.
? BV can cause pelvic floor dysfunction, especially if it's recurring
? BV is characterized by a shift in vaginal flora that alters the ability of the PF muscles to function optimally
? Patients experiencing recurrent BV should be assessed by a PF therapist to get a full picture of their PF muscles
? About 60-70% of diagnosed with BV women will have a recurrence within 3 months
How can you best help patients who have received treatment, but continue experiencing symptoms, or those who have a recurrence?
