What Causes Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
Causes of Pelvic Floor Issues During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative journey, but it can also bring about changes in the pelvic floor that may lead to dysfunction. As your body gracefully accommodates the growth of your baby, the pelvic floor muscles undergo significant stress and strain. Factors such as hormonal shifts, the weight of the growing uterus, and the demands of childbirth contribute to the vulnerability of these crucial muscles.
Signs and Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction:
Increased urgency or leakage during activities like coughing, sneezing, or physical exertion.
Discomfort or pain in the pelvic region, affecting daily activities and overall well-being.
Discomfort or pain specifically during intimacy, indicating potential pelvic floor concerns.
Sensation of pelvic pressure or a feeling of fullness, signaling the possibility of pelvic floor issues.
Changes in bowel movements or difficulty controlling bowel function.
