Why You Should Not Ignore Your Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor muscle (or pubococcygeal) is a large group of muscles suspended across the pelvic like a hammock. It supports your reproductive organs and entire abdominal content, including the bladder and bowels, and plays a major role in the correct functioning of the bladder and rectum. It also controls vaginal secretions as well as sustaining your feminine wellbeing.
A weakened pubococcygeal can be responsible for a number of forms of incontinence – most commonly stress, urge, frequent, mixed and stool. It can also decrease sexual arousal due to poor vaginal grip and in most extreme cases can lead to genital prolapse (the collapse of pelvic organs). All of the aforementioned can be extremely damaging to and woman’s health, general quality of life and self-esteem.
