Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Treatment in Ocala, FL : Restore Strength and Relief

If you’re struggling with pelvic pain, pressure, or problems with bladder or bowel control—your pelvic floor may be to blame.

At Florida Women’s Health, Kelsey Lipking, MD, a fellowship-trained urogynecologist, specializes in diagnosing and treating pelvic floor dysfunction—helping women regain strength, comfort, and control.

What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus, rectum, and vagina. When these muscles become too weak, too tight, or poorly coordinated, it can lead to pelvic floor dysfunction—a condition that can cause a wide range of uncomfortable and frustrating symptoms.

Signs and Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect every part of your daily life—from how you move to how you sleep. You might be experiencing it if you have:

  • Chronic pelvic pain or pressure
  • Pain during intercourse or intimacy
  • A constant urge to urinate or difficulty starting a stream
  • Urinary or fecal incontinence
  • Pain in the lower back, hips, or tailbone
  • Muscle spasms or a feeling of tension in the pelvic region

These symptoms can overlap with other conditions, which is why seeing a specialist like Dr. Kelsey Lipking is key for a clear diagnosis and effective treatment.

Who Should See a Urogynecologist?

If you’ve tried treatments with no success, don’t give up. A urogynecologist is trained specifically to address female pelvic floor disorders, which can be misdiagnosed and undertreated.

You should consider seeing Dr. Lipking if:

  • You’re experiencing chronic pelvic discomfort or unexplained pain
  • You have trouble with bladder or bowel function
  • Physical therapy or medications haven’t provided relief
  • You’ve had pelvic surgery or childbirth and haven’t fully recovered
  • You’re seeking specialized care from someone who listens and understands
