Womens Pelvic Floor Health
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports the bladder, bowel and reproductive organs.
These muscles can weaken or become less effective through pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, ageing, surgery or other health conditions. Changes to pelvic-floor function may contribute to urinary leakage, bowel-control problems, pelvic organ prolapse and reduced confidence in everyday activities.
Pelvic-floor training and rehabilitation can play an important role in improving strength, control and quality of life.
Changes to the pelvic floor can contribute to bladder leakage, bowel problems, pelvic organ prolapse, vaginal dryness and other symptoms that may affect everyday confidence and quality of life.
At My Pelvic Health, we provide information, practical support and specialist products designed to help women better understand and manage a range of pelvic-health concerns.
