Abstract
In our retrospective study, we found that 77.2% of patients who presented to the clinic with urinary, gastro or sexual complaints had measurable pelvic floor dysfunction (69.3% overactive rest tone and 7.9% under active rest tone). In relation to the ICS terminology, there is a need for a well-defined normal vs. elevated rest tone of the pelvic floor.
