Understanding Your Condition
What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when the muscles and ligaments supporting your pelvic organs don’t work as they should. This complex condition affects the group of muscles that form a hammock-like structure in your pelvis, supporting vital organs including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Recent studies show that over 50% of women experience some form of pelvic floor issues, while men can also develop this condition. Common causes include pregnancy, childbirth, aging, surgery, or chronic strain on the pelvic area.
The good news is that help is available. Physical therapy can make a big difference. A trained therapist can teach you special exercises to make your pelvic muscles work better. Many people feel much better after getting help. If you think you might have pelvic floor problems, talking to a physical therapist is a smart first step toward feeling better.
