A Quest for Well-Being

Womens’ Well Being and Pelvic Floor Care


Listen Later

— Women's wellness emphasizes maintaining the pelvic floor muscles as a key component of a healthy lifestyle. Pelvic floor function contributes to proper organ support, core strength, and sex satisfaction when it functions properly. The weakness of the pelvic muscles can cause incontinence, muscle and nerve pain, and organ prolapse in women. The underlying cause of pelvic floor dysfunction should be explored by pelvic floor physical therapists if women experience health issues related to it. Occasionally, a pelvic floor isn't weak, but it doesn't know how to relax. It is possible to achieve the desired results through physical therapy or targeted exercise routines. As women get older, pelvic floor problems often arise, but they don't have to result in issues that reduce quality of life. By taking preventive measures or addressing problems as they arise, women can reduce the effects of muscle weakness and maintain optimal pelvic floor health.
