Several disorders may occur, for example following one or more pregnancies, but also due to the ageing of the tissues and the reduction in their elasticity. Some disorders may also be related to trauma. Problems often include: Enlargement of the pelvic orifices and descent of the perineum. Urinary leakage by exertion, but also by overreactivity of the bladder. Difficulty holding gas or stools. A 'descent' of the pelvic organs (called prolapse), which mayb involve the uterus, bladder or rectum. Difficulties during sex. Difficulties in externalizing stools. These problems obviously have a significant impact on quality of life and emotions. We take this into account! How to improve symptoms? Maintain good body tone through physical activity. Maintain a balanced diet. Drink enough water regularly (1.5L per day). Tackle excess weight. Avoid straining when passing stools and therefore tackle constipation. Stop smoking: smoking leads to a decrease in the quality of muscle and tendon tissues. NB : if these measures are not enough, solutions exist: treatment will be based on specialised physiotherapy, drug treatment or even surgery. Our multidisciplinary teams Their role is to assess the best possible outcome, interpret it and ensure optimal monitoring. The aim is therefore to determine the best treatment for each patient, whether medical, surgical or functional. To do this, our teams meet once a month to discuss each patient's case together.

Perineum disorders mainly affect women. However, men may also be affected. In Belgium, 600 000 people suffer from urinary incontinence. 5% of people over 50 have anal incontinence. One in the two women will have more or less symptomatic pelvic prolapse in their lives. When to seek help ? If you are suffering symptoms (incontinence, difficulty in evacuating stools, prolapse, pain during sexual intercourse), it is advisable to talk to your general practitioner, specialist or midwife.
