It

It is estimated that at least one-third of adult women are affected by at least one of these conditions.

1/3 of women who gave birth, not of all adult women ... I suspect --Melaen 15:59, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is all women and affects those women over 60 the most. Sorry it took 11 years for an answer. Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 14:39, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pelvic floor dysfunction or Postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction

Is this article about Pelvic floor dysfunction or Postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction ? , maybe the article name is just wrong --Melaen 16:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pelvic floor dysfunction encompasses postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction. They are not equivalent, though related, terms.Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 14:39, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dbrambila (talk) Outline looks great - agree that gender inclusive language is not present at the moment. A general overview of the major causes of pelvic floor dysfunction and in the populations in which it is more prevalent would be helpful to summarize in introduction. Also worth mentioning the muscle groups most commonly involved in pelvic floor dysfunction. Great work! (talk) 23:51, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
