5 Signs You Might Have Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (And What to Do About It)

Pelvic floor dysfunction is more common than most people realize — and it affects both men and women. When these muscles are too tight, too weak, or not coordinating properly, you can experience a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms.

5 Common Signs Your Pelvic Floor Needs Attention

1. Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise — This is called stress urinary incontinence and it is treatable!

2. Constantly feeling the urge to urinate or going just in case — Your pelvic floor muscles may be overactive.

3. Pelvic pressure or heaviness — This can be a sign of pelvic organ prolapse due to pelvic floor weakness.

4. Pain during intercourse — Pelvic pain during or after sex is never normal and can be effectively treated.

5. Constipation or difficulty emptying bowels — Your pelvic floor plays a key role in bowel function.
