Pelvic floor dysfunction can significantly impact your quality of life, causing discomfort and affecting your daily activities. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for pelvic floor dysfunction can help you take control of this condition and improve your well-being.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when these muscles are weak, tight, or not functioning properly. Common causes of pelvic floor dysfunction include childbirth, surgery, aging, obesity, and chronic constipation or straining.
Symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction vary depending on the underlying issue but can include urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, pressure or heaviness in the pelvic area, and pain during intercourse. These symptoms can significantly affect your quality of life and daily activities.
