PELVIC FLOOR WELLBEING FACTS EVERY WOMEN SHOULD EMBRACE

THE KEY TO A STRONGER YOU

Pelvic floor wellbeing is key to women’s overall health and balance. These muscles play a key role in bladder control, bowel function, and core stability, allowing women to stay active and confident. They also contribute to sexual health and posture. Unfortunately, pelvic floor issues are common and often go unnoticed until symptoms begin affecting daily life.

 

COMMON PELVIC FLOOR PROBLEMS IN WOMEN

Urinary Leakage
One of the most common signs of pelvic floor weakness is accidental urine leakage, which can happen when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or even during exercise. The muscles in the pelvic floor fail to provide enough support, causing this involuntary leakage.

Pressure and Discomfort
This can occur when the internal organs in the pelvic floor region are not supported as effectively, leading to a feeling of heaviness or discomfort.

Painful Intercourse
Pelvic floor challenges can also lead to discomfort or pain during intercourse. This could be due to muscle tightness or other underlying issues.

Straining and Difficulty With Bowel Movements
Struggling to pass stool or feeling like you can’t fully empty your bowels might indicate pelvic floor weakness.

Chronic Pelvic Pain
Unexplained pelvic pain, often accompanied by feelings of pressure or discomfort, is another potential sign of pelvic floor issues.

 

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF PELVIC FLOOR PROBLEMS IN WOMEN?

Pregnancy and Childbirth

Pregnancy and vaginal delivery can put a significant amount of strain on the pelvic floor muscles, often leading to weakness or stretching. This can result in complications affecting daily life.

Aging

As women age, especially after menopause, the muscles and tissues in the pelvic floor lose their elasticity, leading to weakness and other challenges.

Obesity

Extra weight puts additional pressure on the pelvic floor, which can weaken the muscles over time.

Chronic Constipation

The strain of frequent constipation can lead to muscle weakening in the pelvic floor region.

Heavy Lifting

Repeated heavy lifting can place stress on the pelvic floor, increasing the risk of issues.

 

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT YOUR PELVIC FLOOR?

Pelvic Floor Exercises
Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles is one of the best ways to prevent and manage challenges in this area. Regular practice can help maintain muscle tone and improve overall health.

Physical Therapy
Specialized therapy for the pelvic floor region can be incredibly effective in retraining your muscles to function correctly. A trained physiotherapist can guide you through targeted exercises and techniques.

Lifestyle Modifications
Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding heavy lifting, and managing constipation can reduce pressure on the pelvic floor and promote better muscle health.
