If you deal with the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), you’re likely facing incontinence issues, perhaps bowel issues and others. You may find it difficult talking about these problems even with a healthcare provider. However, providers – especially urogynecologists – are used to talking about these problems. Today we’re going to learn about symptoms of PFD, endometriosis and a host of treatment options including laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery with Dr. Maurice Chung, Director of Mercy Center of Endometriosis, Pelvic Pain & Urogynecology at Mercy Medical Center. 

Dr. Maurice Chung, Director of Mercy Center of Endometriosis, Pelvic Pain & Urogynecology discusses endometriosis, pelvic floor dysfunction and more.
