Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to the fibers of the levator ani can result in weakened pelvic floor muscles, which can lead to urinary or fecal incontinence and/or prolapse of the uterus into the vagina or rectal prolapse through the anus. Dysmenorrhea is unrelated to this specific type of damage and salpingitis and hydrosalpinx are related to inflammation or blockage of the fallopian tubes, not the pelvic floor muscles.
