Pelvic Floor Health Check

How fit are your pelvic floor muscles?

Do you experience any of the following?

• Bladder accidents when you sneeze, cough, laugh, blow your nose, lift, shout, jump, run or exercise etc.
• You cannot hold on for at least 3 hours between toilet visits
• You have to wear a pad or a liner to protect you from leakage
• Sometimes you don't make it to the toilet in time
• Difficulty controlling wind, liquid or hard stools
• Feelings of heaviness/pressure in your pelvic floor, which eases up after resting
• Sagging or prolapsed pelvic organs
• Air or water entering your vagina when exercising or swimming
• Tampon sliding down during use
• Lack of sensation during intercourse (difficult to reach orgasm)
• Discomfort during sex due to the laxity of your vagina or lack of bladder or anal control
• Haemorrhoids
• Regular bladder or vaginal infections

If you experience any of the above it is wise to strengthen your pelvic floor. This way you can avoid your symptoms magnifying and perhaps multiplying overtime.
