Pelvic floor

Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common condition where the muscles in your pelvic floor are unable to relax and coordinate correctly to urinate or have a bowel movement. You may also feel pain during sex.

The pelvic floor muscles support several of your organs by wrapping around your pelvic bone. Some of these muscles add more stability by forming a sling around the rectum.

Prevention

You might want to consider the steps to prevent pelvic floor problems. The pelvic floor is a network of muscles that lies beneath the pelvic bones. Hormones and childbirth can weaken the muscles. To remedy this problem, you can try to do these exercises. First, squeeze your pelvic muscles as if you are trying to hold in a bowel movement. Hold for a few seconds and then relax. Do this from ten to fifteen times daily. Second, to improve muscle length, lie on your back with one foot flat on the floor. Extend the other leg and press upward against your thigh. Do this from ten to fifteen times daily.

I have been visiting the clinic for the past two years and my experience has been great. Dr. Kant is very knowledgeable and he treats his patients with full dedication and patience. I underwent treatment for my neck and back pain and I got relief after just a few sessions of dry needling. So, I would recommend everyone to visit KALP HEALTH CARE for any kind of physiotherapy treatment.

Nithya Santhakumar

At the age of 53, a back problem is scary when a doctor tells you that you need 10 days of bed rest or surgery! I went to Kalp expecting the usual steps of physiotherapy, but I couldn't even stand up straight or get out of bed without shooting pain. This is an example of not judging a book by its cover. Dr. Kant is a simple man but a magician when it comes to his treatment. He is passionate and positive about his treatment and knows the human body like the back of his hand. A dedicated team with Dr. Monika and Dr. Rakesh got me on my feet in just 3 days. This is the best treatment I could have asked for!

Vivek Goyal

Dr. Kant and his clinic are excellent in treating muscular and spinal issues - it's very clean and hygienic. Dr. Kant has great understanding and knowledge, quickly reaching to the root of what's wrong and able to provide Relief within a few sessions. I found a solution to my spine problem after seeking treatment from Dr. Kant - I had tried all kinds of treatments before but hadn't been able to find any relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

One should not do resistance or core strength exercises that cause you to strain down. If you’re straining and pushing your pelvic floor down – whether you’re doing core strength exercises, sitting on the toilet constipated, or lifting a child – you’re creating a lot of downward pressure on your pelvic floor.

Your pelvic floor muscles:

Support your bladder, urethra, vagina, uterus, bowel (large intestine), rectum and anus.

Squeeze and relax so that you can control when you pee, poop or pass gas.

Help with blood flow and vaginal contractions during sex and orgasm.

Support vaginal delivery during childbirth.

It takes time for exercise to make muscles stronger. You are unlikely to notice any improvement for several weeks – so stick at it! You will need to exercise regularly for at least 3 months before the muscles gain their full strength.

A hypertonic pelvic floor occurs when the muscles in the pelvic floor become too tense and are unable to relax. Many people with a tense and non-relaxing pelvic floor experience pelvic health concerns such as constipation, painful sex, urgency and pelvic pain.

The most common PFDs are urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. PFDs are more common among older women.
