Description
The Pelvic floor is a group of muscles that coordinate to control bowel movements, urination, sexual performance, and sexual pleasure. Pelvic floor disorders describe common symptoms such as urinary incontinence, vaginal prolapse, and accidental leakage of stool or gas. These conditions commonly affect women with symptoms and typically worsen with age. Many suffer needlessly from these symptoms although there are many effective treatments. Jeppson will discuss symptoms, causes and available treatments to address pelvic floor disorders to improve or resolve symptoms, and restore quality of life.
Dr. Jeppson is board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, in both Obstetrics and Gynecology and Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery. He is a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He is an Associate Professor at the University of New Mexico, and Director of the Division of Urogynecology.
