Pelvic muscles, also known as the pelvic floor muscles, are a group of muscles located at the base of the pelvis. They support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, intestines, and uterus in women. These muscles play a crucial role in maintaining urinary and bowel control, as well as contributing to sexual function. Strengthening the pelvic muscles can help prevent issues such as incontinence and pelvic pain. Exercises like Kegel exercises are commonly recommended to enhance the strength and endurance of these muscles, promoting overall pelvic health and well-being.
