Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to a condition where the muscles and tissues in the pelvic floor do not work properly. This can lead to issues such as urinary incontinence, constipation, or pelvic pain. The pelvic floor supports organs like the bladder, uterus, and rectum, and when it is weakened or overly tight, it can cause discomfort and functional problems. Common causes of pelvic floor dysfunction include pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and certain medical conditions. Treatment options may involve physical therapy, exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor, or lifestyle changes. In some cases, medical intervention may be necessary to address the underlying issues.
