Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

About Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

● The pelvic floor consists of a bowl of muscles supporting the bladder, vagina and rectum.
● Those muscles get disrupted and inflamed after childbirth.
● These muscles need to relax to urinate well and pass a bowel movement.
● Tension can cause pain during intercourse or frequent urination and lower back pain.

SYMPTOMS

  • A feeling of heaviness or fullness or as if something falling out of the vagina.
  • Some women also feel a pulling or aching or bulge in the lower abdomen or pelvis.
  • Prolapse may also cause a kinking in the urethra, making it harder for a woman to empty her bladder completely or causing frequent urinary tract infections.

Surgery is the Answer

A defecating proctogram test is used to conclude the ailment and assess the necessity for treatment
