Does physical activity prevent or cause pelvic floor disorders? Women's health researchers at the University of Utah are conducting a research study to determine the effect of physical activity on organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. Whether or not you have these conditions, and regardless of how physically active you are, if you are between the ages of 39 and 65 and are not pregnant; you may be eligible to participate in a study to help answer this question.
