Summary
The purpose of this research study is to compare the use of footstools of 2 different heights in patients with symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction such as straining excessively during bowel movements and a sense of incomplete emptying. We are testing these footstools to see if using a footstool can improve these symptoms. Participants who enroll will be randomly assigned to either a 7 or 9 inch footstool. They will use the footstool for 8 weeks. During this time they will complete some online surveys about their bowel symptoms.
