Abstract
An essential part of postpartum care includes the evaluation and treatment of pelvic floor disorders (PFDs). Postpartum PFDs are common and occur in over 40% of postpartum women. Despite significant advancements in urogynecology to understand postpartum PFDs and their treatments, there has been a lack of attention to addressing equity in postpartum pelvic floor care. In this article, we address the current scientific understanding of postpartum PFDs while adapting a health equity-based conceptual framework to highlight areas of opportunity in optimizing postpartum pelvic floor care.
