Common Tests for the Pelvic Floor
Key Concepts
- Disorders of anorectal function are common and have a significant impact on individual’s quality of life.
- Anal manometry allows assessment of anorectal motor and sensory function to delineate contributing factors leading to symptoms of obstructed defecation, anal pain, and fecal incontinence.
- Ultrasound, fluoroscopic defecography, and MR defecography provide anatomic and dynamic assessment and the impact of anatomy on function in evaluating patients with fecal incontinence, obstructed defecation, and pelvic organ prolapse.
