The Importance of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training

pelvic floor muscle training

Millions of American women are affected by bladder and pelvic issues, and pelvic floor muscle training has a very high success rate and no known side effects. Women’s pelvic floor muscles are affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause, leading to incontinence issues. Exercising these muscles regularly is important when it comes to preventing incontinence, and healthy lifestyle choices can help as well. It is a simple and effective solution that is oftentimes recommended as part of standard gynecologic care.

Why Women Need Pelvic Floor Muscle Training

Pelvic floor muscle training helps the body cope with the weight of a baby and allows faster healing after childbirth, especially if it is started soon afterward. Likewise, picking up small children frequently causes these muscles to weaken. These muscles support the bladder and colon as well, making it important to keep these organs healthy. As women age, they need these muscles to be strong because the hormonal changes that occur during menopause can affect bladder control. These natural occurrences and changes in women’s bodies cause these muscles to weaken; however, understanding what weakens them can help women to avoid issues which lead to weak pelvic muscles.

Things that can weaken the pelvic floor include:

• Obesity
• Pregnancy and childbirth
• Regular heavy lifting
• High impact exercise
• Chronic coughing
• Chronic constipation
• Menopause and aging

Pelvic muscles support the:

• Bladder
• Uterus
• Colon
• Urine tube

Some of the conditions related to this issue that we can treat at our office include:

• Frequent urination and incontinence
• Interstitial cystitis
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Chronic constipation or rectal pain
• Painful intercourse
• Postmenopausal atrophy
