The iliococcygeus is a muscle located in the pelvic floor, part of the group known as the levator ani. It plays a crucial role in supporting pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. This muscle helps maintain continence and contributes to the stability of the pelvic region. In addition to its supportive functions, the iliococcygeus assists in the process of childbirth and can influence sexual function. Strengthening this muscle through exercises, such as Kegel exercises, can improve pelvic health and prevent issues like incontinence. Proper functioning of the iliococcygeus is essential for overall pelvic well-being.
