Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need an Internal Pelvic Floor Assessment?

Internal assessments can provide vital information to guide treatment, but we prioritize your comfort. You’ll always be educated on the purpose of the exam, and all procedures will be explained thoroughly. Internal assessments are entirely optional, and you can decline or defer them at any time.

Will an Internal Exam Hurt?

While it may cause slight discomfort, our assessments are gentle and designed to minimize any physical or emotional discomfort. The process is far less invasive than a typical OB-GYN or urology visit, and you’ll always be in control of your care.
