Top FAQs About Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Urinary Incontinence
What it is: Uncontrolled urine leakage.
Details: There are various forms of urinary incontinence including stress incontinence (leakage when coughing, laughing, or exercising) and urge incontinence (a sudden intense urge to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine). A weakened pelvic floor can contribute to both types.
Impact on Life: It can be inconvenient, embarrassing, and severely affect one's quality of life and emotional well-being
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
What it is: Downward displacement of the pelvic organs.
Details: When the muscles and tissues of the pelvic floor are weakened, they may not provide enough support for the pelvic organs. This can cause the bladder, uterus or rectum to descend into the vagina.
Impact on Life: This condition can cause discomfort, pressure, urinary issues, and affect intimate relations. It can also affect a woman’s self-esteem and emotional health
Chronic Pelvic Pain
What it is: Persistent pain in the lower abdomen.
Details: This pain can be associated with a multitude of conditions, including but not limited to, tension in the pelvic floor muscles. The pain may be constant or intermittent and can vary in intensity.
Impact on Life: Chronic pelvic pain can make it difficult to sit, exercise or engage in intimate relations. It can affect one’s ability to participate in everyday activities and can be mentally draining.
Pain During Intimacy
What it is: Experiencing pain or discomfort during or after intimate relations.
Details: A weakened or overly tight pelvic floor can contribute to pain during intimacy. This can be due to lack of support or tension in the pelvic muscles.
Impact on Life: It can cause strain in relationships and lead to avoidance of intimacy, and negatively affect mental health and self-image.
Lower Back Pain
What it is: Persistent pain in the lower back area.
Details: The pelvic floor muscles work in conjunction with deep abdominal and back muscles. When the pelvic floor is weak, it can contribute to instability and pain in the lower back.
Impact on Life: It can limit mobility, make it difficult to engage in physical activities, and affect overall quality of life.
