Why Your Pelvic Floor Matters More Than You Think
How many times have you:
- Crossed your legs when sneezing to avoid leaks?
- Said “not tonight” because sex felt uncomfortable?
- Wondered if constant pelvic pressure was normal?
You’re not alone. 1 in 3 women will experience pelvic floor dysfunction—yet most suffer in silence, believing:
❌ “Leaking is just part of being a mom”
❌ “Pain during sex is normal”
❌ “There’s no solution for this”
Let’s talk a little on Pelvic Floor:
Pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles, ligaments, and nerves that:
✅ Keeps your bladder, uterus, and rectum in place
✅ Controls bathroom urges (no more rushing to the toilet!)
✅ Makes intimacy comfortable (and pleasurable)
✅ Supports your core and posture
How It Goes Wrong?
1. Weak Pelvic Floor (Hypotonic)
- Symptoms:
- Leaking when laughing, sneezing, or exercising (stress incontinence)
- Feeling heaviness or bulging in the vagina (pelvic organ prolapse)
- Difficulty reaching orgasm
- 原因：
- 怀孕：
- 年长者：
- Chronic coughing
- Prolonged sitting
2. Overactive Pelvic Floor (Hypertonic)
- Symptoms:
- Pain during or after sex (vaginismus, burning sensation)
- Chronic pelvic pain (often misdiagnosed as endometriosis)
- Trouble fully emptying your bladder or bowels
- 原因：
- Trauma (physical or emotional)
- Excessive Kegels/ Wrong technique on Kegel
3. Post-Surgical or Postpartum Issues
C-section scars, episiotomies, or hysterectomies can cause adhesions, numbness, or lingering pain.
Who Needs Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation?
- New moms (Both Vaginal or C-section)
- Women with pain during sex
- Anyone who has urinary incontinence
In nutshell, Pelvic floor health is important as it impacts on:
- Social confidence
- Intimate relationships
- The ability to enjoy life without worry
- Long-term health
This isn’t “just part of being a woman.”
