AB Pelvic  floor  disorders  (PFDs)  include  urinary  incontinence,  pelvic  organ  prolapse,  fecal  incontinence,  and  other  sensory  and  emptying  abnormalities  of  the  lower  urinary  and  gastrointestinal  tracts.  Nearly  one-quarter  of  all  women  and  more  than  one-third  of  older  women  endorse  at  least  one  PFD.  The  lifetime  chance  of  a  woman  having  surgery  for  stress  incontinence  and/or  prolapse  is  20.0%,  with  the  cumulative  risk  of  surgery  for  stress  urinary  incontinence  being  13.6%  and  the  cumulative  risk  of  prolapse  repair  surgery  being  12.6%  by  age  80  years.
