How do I know if my pelvic floor won’t give me problems?
A pelvic floor musculature that will not cause problems is one that is and will remain healthy.
It is estimated that around 40% of women between 45 and 60 years of age present one of the main disorders caused by alterations in the pelvic floor, called urinary incontinence. Among its causes is muscle weakness.
Several other problems can arise as a consequence of an unhealthy pelvic floor, such as: Pain during intercourse, problems with arousal and orgasm (40% of women report having at least 1 symptom related to sexual function), erectile dysfunction and other sexual dysfunctions, prolapse of pelvic organs, urinary retention and constipation, incontinence of gas or feces.
