Background: Pelvic floor symptoms are more prevalent among females. Evaluation of PFD used to identify and amplify early diagnosis and to assist the professionals in monitoring these symptoms, even when they are poorly perceived or not explained by the patients. Efforts need to be intensified to create awareness and build capacity to prevent and manage these symptoms, which could impact the QOL of affected women. Purpose: To determine the prevalence of pelvic floor disorders among women above 40 years in Chidambaram. Methods: Hundred women in the age group between 40-60 years were included in this study. The basic characteristics and anthropometric data were collected through the structured proforma. The Pelvic Floor Disability Index (PFDI) was used to assess the pelvic floor dysfunction. The data were collected and analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: The mean value of Pelvic Organ Prolapse Component (POPDI-6) was 18.76± 7.42, the mean value of Colo-rectal anal distress inventory (CRAD-8) was 15.19± 8.29. The mean value of Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) score was 23.18± 11.77. The mean total score of PFDI was 37.08± 23.05. From the results it was observed that the mean value of UDI was higher than the POPDI and CRAD. Conclusion: The study concluded that urinary distress (UDI) is more prevalent followed by pelvic organ prolapse distress (POPDI) and colorectal anal distress (CRADI) among the women above 40 years. This study recommends the effective therapeutic program to reduce the symptoms of PFD among women above 40 years.
