Understanding Pelvic Floor Disease:
Pelvic floor disease encompasses a range of conditions that affect the pelvic floor muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues. These conditions can lead to problems with bladder, bowel, and sexual function. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, bowel, and uterus.
Common Pelvic Floor Conditions:
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse: This occurs when one or more of the pelvic organs drop from their normal position.
- Urinary Incontinence: The loss of bladder control, leading to accidental leakage of urine.
- Fecal Incontinence: The inability to control bowel movements, causing unintentional stool leakage.
- Chronic Pelvic Pain: Persistent pain in the pelvic region without a clear cause.
- Pelvic Floor Muscle Dysfunction: Abnormal function of the pelvic floor muscles, either too tight or too weak.
Symptoms:
Pelvic floor disease may manifest with various symptoms, including:
- Frequent need to urinate or sudden, strong urges to urinate.
- Inability to completely empty the bladder.
- Constipation or straining during bowel movements.
- Pain or discomfort during intercourse.
- Pelvic pressure or a feeling of heaviness.
