Pelvic floor issues? Take this quiz!
The pelvic floor is a hot topic these days - here are some quick answers to the most commonly asked questions:
What is the pelvic floor? It's a set of muscles in your pelvic area. They lay like a sling or a hammock from your public bone to your tail bone.
Do men and women both have pelvic floors? Yes!
Why should I care about the pelvic floor? These muscles help with bathroom functions (preventing leaking), sexual functions (including orgasm) and even have an effect on athletic performance.
If I have an issue do I just assume that my muscles are weak and I need to do kegel exercises to strengthen them? Nope, not necessarily. You should see a pelvic floor PT to find out what kind of plan would be best for you.
