Pelvic health refers to the well-being and functioning of the pelvic region in the human body.
The pelvic region is the lower part of the trunk, situated between the abdomen and the thighs, and it houses various important organs and structures.
Pelvic health encompasses the proper functioning of the pelvic floor muscles, organs such as the bladder, uterus (in females), and rectum, as well as the surrounding connective tissues and nerves.
Key aspects of pelvic health include:
Pelvic Floor Muscles: The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that form a hammock-like structure at the bottom of the pelvis. These muscles provide support to the pelvic organs, help control bladder and bowel functions, and play a crucial role in sexual function. Pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to issues such as incontinence (inability to control urine or bowel movements) and pelvic pain.
Pelvic Floor Disorders: These encompass a range of conditions affecting the pelvic floor muscles, leading to issues like bowel control problems (fecal incontinence), chronic constipation, and sexual dysfunction. Pelvic floor physical therapy, biofeedback, and specific exercises aim to strengthen these muscles and improve function.
