The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum.
Although it often receives little attention, it plays a fundamental role in urinary continence, support of the pelvic organs, trunk stability and quality of life.
Experts point out that weakening of the pelvic floor is a common condition, especially after pregnancy, childbirth and menopause, although it can also occur in young women.
In many cases, symptoms develop gradually and are mistaken for normal changes of aging, which delays diagnosis and treatment.
What is the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is made up of several layers of muscles that function like a kind of hammock at the bottom of the pelvis.
Its mission is to support the pelvic organs and assist in functions such as urine and bowel control.
When these muscles lose strength or elasticity, they may stop providing adequate support and various discomforts may begin to appear.
