The perineum is a group of muscles that works like a hammock, stretching from the pubic bone to the tailbone. To pinpoint its location, try coughing; you’ll feel a downward pressure in your lower abdomen.
It provides support for your internal organs, like the rectum and bladder, and for women, the vagina and uterus. It also absorbs physical impact. For example, when you run, the increased abdominal pressure puts stress on the perineum, which can absorb shocks equal to four times your body weight. In men, it also plays a role in maintaining erections.
How can I know if my perineum isn’t as strong as it should be? And if my perineum is in good shape? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
