Pelvic Floor Disorders: What’s All the Buzz About?
November 13, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Where is the Pelvic Floor and what is it made of? Pergo? Tile? Join Dr. Lindsey Kerr as we discuss that part of anatomy between the waist and the thighs, from hip to hip. You will learn what organs lie within, and what the muscles and bones are supposed to do, and how to maintain and improve their function. Dr. Kerr will discuss control of urinary leakage and other changes in the bladder that can affect health. She will review healthy bowel habits and how to treat prolapse as well as changes in female organs over time. Primarily devoted to the female patient, Dr. Kerr will also cover some issues pertaining to benign male urology.
Seating is limited and complimentary lunch will be served. Guests are welcome and take their seats beginning at 11:45 a.m. Q & A will follow the lecture. To make your reservation, sign up on Eventbrite, call York Hospital’s Friendraising Office at 207-351-2385, or email [email protected].
