Pelvic floor physiotherapy consultation
The pelvic floor is responsible for many activities in your body and can cause unpleasant complaints. These include difficulty holding your urine, excessive toilet visits, which can be caused by an overactive bladder or unwanted urine loss. These are just a few of the complaints you may experience.
Pelvic floor complaints
When you cough or laugh, the pressure in the abdomen increases, with the pelvic floor holding all the organs in place. Think of the nerves, muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor that ensure that your bladder, bowel and vagina can be squeezed shut when you want them to. When you have to urinate, you relax the pelvic floor muscles. If you have a tense pelvic floor, this can cause problems.
The pelvic floor ensures the following:
-That the abdominal cavity is closed off so that abdominal organs do not come out.
-That you do not lose urine and feces involuntarily.
-That you can urinate and have a bowel movement if you want.
-That you can have intercourse.
Over the years, many women suffer from pelvic floor problems, which are experienced as very unpleasant. Sometimes these complaints go away by themselves, but unfortunately it is becoming increasingly common for women to struggle with these complaints for too long. It is not necessary to continue to walk around with these complaints for too long, because there are good treatments for this.
Pelvic floor therapy
One of these treatments is pelvic floor therapy. This is a method in which you learn to feel and consciously use your pelvic floor muscles. It is possible that you unconsciously contract certain muscles, which creates extra pressure on your pelvic floor. It is often difficult to train these muscles yourself. With the right attention and personal guidance, Women's Healthcare Center Amsterdam can make the difference in giving you the right insights. Through coaching with certain exercises, you will learn to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Many problems can be solved in this way, such as involuntary loss of urine, an overactive bladder or a tense pelvic floor.
