What is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?

  • Pregnancy and postpartum recovery

  • Menopause

  • Stress and anxiety

  • Obesity

  • Overuse of pelvic muscles

  • Sexual activity

  • Over-exercise

  • Aging

  • Trauma

  • Cancer and cancer-related treatments

These conditions can cause a wide range of symptoms, including discomfort, pain, and disruptions to everyday activities. Pelvic floor disorders may lead to issues such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, or bowel dysfunction, all of which can affect your day-to-day comfort and overall quality of life.

FAQS:

What do they do in pelvic floor therapy?

Sessions may include exercises, stretches, manual therapy, biofeedback, or electrical stimulation to help strengthen or relax your pelvic floor muscles. The number of sessions required will vary, with each session tailored to your specific needs and symptoms.

How do you tell if you need pelvic floor therapy?

You should consider seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist if you experience any of the following: pain during urination or when your bladder is full, urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, or laughing, a strong urge to urinate but difficulty fully emptying the bladder, painful bowel movements or constipation, or pain during or after sex. These symptoms may indicate pelvic floor dysfunction, and a physical therapist can help address the underlying issues.

What are the symptoms of a weak pelvic floor?

Symptoms of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction can include involuntary urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or running, difficulty reaching the toilet in time, passing wind from the anus or vagina when bending or lifting, reduced vaginal sensation, tampons that dislodge or fall out, and noticing a distinct bulge at the vaginal opening. These signs may indicate a weakened or impaired pelvic floor, and seeking professional care can help manage and treat these issues.
