Do You Know What the Pelvic Floor Muscles Are?


The
pelvic floor muscles are inner muscles which aren't noticeable either when relaxed or tensed. They make up a wide stretch of muscle sandwiched between the legs stretching from side to side under the floor of the pelvis from the pubic bone in front to the coccyx behind, which is the foot of your spine at the rear.

The pelvic floor holds all your internal organs, bladder, womb, bowel and uterus in position. The openings from your bladder (urethra), your bowels (rectum) and your womb (vagina) all exit through here. To maintain a strong pelvic floor, you have to work it.

Pelvic floor muscles are used for a number of reasons. It's used to stop flatulence and when "holding on" with your bowels. It also supports the bladder to allow it to remain closed and halt the flow of urine.

It has an influential sexual role, serving to multiply sexual stimulation for both of you during sexual intercourse.

It actively tightens when you cough or sneeze to help stop any urine escape. When the muscles aren't contracting properly you may suffer from a leaking bladder and an sudden or uncontrollable desire to urinate which is described as urinary incontinence

The effects of weakened pelvic floor muscles may include urinary or bowel incontinence. Both of these can be helped by therapeutic strengthening of these areas

Stout pelvic floor muscles should support the extra weight of a growing baby, assist in the second part of labour and, by improving your circulation, help in repairing the perineum between the anus and vagina following birth.

These areas can turn out to be weaker for many mothers when combined with with pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and being overweight.

Pelvic floor or Kegel techniques as they are sometimes referred help to return the muscles strength and stamina. When done repeatedly, these movements can help to avoid stress incontinence and maybe prolapse in later life.
