Pelvic floor basics

Pelvic floor consists of muscles, fascia and ligaments that form a platform supporting pelvic organs - bladder, uterus and intestines. Pelvic floor prevents these organs from falling down through the lower bony pelvic outlet. Pelvic floor muscles are endurance muscles that help to prevent urinary and faecal leakage caused by the increase in abdominal pressure during coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting or vomiting. During childbirth, pelvic floor relaxes and stretches to enable the baby to be born. It is important to strengthen the muscles and restore them to their optimum strength by performing regular exercises called pelvic floor or Kegel exercises. As all other muscles in human body - pelvic floor muscles grow stronger and fitter with exercise!  

Female pelvic floor.Pelvic floor muscle strength is of great importance not only for life long continence, but also when considering male and female sexual health. An added benefit of having strong pelvic floor muscles is improved sexual function. Pelvic floor muscle exercises help to strengthen pelvic floor, whilst at the same time improving, restoring and maintaining good sexual functionality.

Male pelvic floor problems - erectile dysfunction and post-micturition dribble - have been thoroughly researched by Professor Grace Dorey, whose works and patient self help guides can be found on Win Health website. 

How to keep your pelvic floor healthy and fit

Both men and women should ensure that they perform regular pelvic muscle exercises - otherwise known as Kegel exercises or pelvic floor exercises - to prevent pelvic floor weakness from developing or to address and reverse any existing weakness. The goal always has to be to maintain strong pelvic floor for life. In women - strong pelvic floor muscles prevent incontinence and increase sexual responsiveness. In men - strong pelvic floor can prevent erectile dysfunction and post-micturition dribble from arising.

Awareness and basic knowledge are the key to successful prevention, eradication or effective management of incontinence. “Being in control” is the personal continence goal for everyone - it can be successfully achieved through appropriate awareness and knowledge. In much the same way - sexual health and sexual satisfaction are achievable.
