Pelvic Health & Wellness
Pelvic Health & Wellness
Pelvic floor disorders are conditions that affect the components of the pelvic floor, causing uncomfortable symptoms. The pelvic floor consists of skin, muscles, ligaments, nerves, connective tissues, blood vessels, and organs in your pelvis. The pelvic floor provides stability for your pelvic girdle and spine and supports your bladder, rectum, and pelvic organs, including your uterus and vagina.

Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Disorders
Symptoms of pelvic floor disorders vary depending on the type and
severity of the disorder. Common symptoms of pelvic floor disorders
include urinary and bowel issues. Urinary problems may include urinary
incontinence (leaking urine), urinary urgency (strong urge to urinate),
urinary frequency (urinating more often than normal), or difficulty
emptying your bladder. Bowel problems that may occur include
constipation, fecal incontinence (leaking stool), or difficulty passing
stool.
In addition to urinary and bowel issues, you may have pelvic pain, pressure, or a feeling of heaviness, which may be worse with certain activities such as prolonged standing, lifting, or coughing. You may also notice a bulging of your pelvic organs, such as your uterus or bladder, from your vagina or rectum, which may cause discomfort. Further, you may have pain, reduced sensation, and difficulty with sexual intercourse.
