The pelvic floor is a group of fascias and muscles that supports the pelvic organs in an anatomically correct position. When this conglomerate weakens, there is a violation of the bladder urinary incontinence, frequent urge to the toilet, etc., rectum constipation, gas/stool incontinence, hemorrhoids, etc., genitals up to chronic pain syndrome.
Muscles can be weakened from birth, but most often it happens:
after childbirth;
active sports related to weight lifting;
due to bad habits, such as long retention of urine, when ursing to the toilet or strong tightness during the act of defecation;
due to the age when the hormonal system begins to reduce its activity;
• Due to other reasons related to strong abdominal pressure: overweight, chronic cough, stress, etc.
The most suitable example for visualizing the pelvic floor is a hammock fixed between the coccyx and the pubic bone. It consists of three layers:
Lower outer layer: muscles compressing the anus and vaginal entrance;
• Middle layer: urinary sphincter muscles;
• Upper layer: muscles that lift the anus, close the genital gap, narrow the lumen of the vagina and rectum.
Thus, this muscle group plays a key role in the physiologically correct functioning of organs and systems located in pelvic oil.
