A Primer on Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

 

Pelvic Floor X-rays

Do you have difficulty with your bowel movements? If going to the restroom is difficult or feels incomplete, then there may be a good chance that you are suffering from Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. You might want to consider pelvic floor treatments at a Burlington, ON, rehabilitation centre. Here is what you need to know about this condition.

 

About the Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor muscles support a variety of organs, including the bladder and rectum. When they function normally, it’s possible to control your bowel and bladder movements. They contract and release as part of your body’s waste removal processes.

 

The pelvic floor muscles need to coordinate with one another for urination and defecation to proceed. However, there may be cases where the muscles cannot relax and contract properly, which can make bowel or bladder movements difficult or even impossible.

 

Identifying Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

The symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction can vary from person to person. The exact cause of this condition is unknown. Research suggests the causes might stem from nerve or muscle damage in the pelvis. Common symptoms include:

·        Painful Urination

·        Inability to Complete a Bowel Movement

·        Frequent Need to Urinate or Defecate

·        Ongoing Pain in the Genitals, Rectum, or Pelvis

 

One of the most effective pelvic floor treatments involves physical rehabilitation. The course of treatment might include learning relaxation techniques, stretching, and exercises.
