Weakened pelvic floor: signs that many women overlook.

How is it diagnosed?

The diagnosis usually begins with a medical history and physical examination performed by a gynecologist, urologist, or physiotherapist specializing in pelvic floor.

In some cases, additional studies may be requested to evaluate bladder function, muscles, or the degree of support of the pelvic organs.

If your pelvic floor is weak, don’t worry, it’s treatable.

Options may include specialized pelvic floor physiotherapy, supervised muscle strengthening programs, lifestyle changes, and weight management.

Most women do not need surgery and can benefit from conservative treatments when the problem is detected early.

When should I see a doctor?

It is advisable to seek medical attention if you experience frequent urine leakage, a feeling of heaviness in the pelvis, difficulty controlling your bladder, or any discomfort that interferes with daily activities.

A timely diagnosis allows for the most appropriate treatment to be started and prevents symptoms from progressing.

Pelvic floor weakness is a common condition that many women overlook because its early symptoms may seem minor.
