Pelvic Disorders
The pelvic organs consist of the vagina, cervix, uterus, bladder, urethra, small intestines, and rectum. These organs are supported by muscles and connective tissue within the pelvic floor. Over time, these muscles may weaken, resulting in the sagging of the organs. This can result in various gynecological and urological issues, such as:
- Incontinence
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse (which includes a fallen bladder or dropped uterus)
- Frequent Urinary Tract Infections
- Presence of Blood in Urine
The process of childbirth and the strain of labor can weaken the pelvic floor. Other contributing factors include:
- Previous Pelvic Surgery
- Menopause
- Aging
- Strenuous Physical Activity
- Genetic Predispositions
