Your Pelvic Floor and Menopause


You may notice pelvic floor weakness for the first time around menopause. If you have an existing weakness you may note that menopause worsens it. You may experience bladder accidents and urgencies, loss of sexual appetite and sensation, vaginal dryness, regular infections, back aches and even prolapse. These can be counteracted by strengthening your pelvic floor and practicing healthy pelvic floor habits.

Your pelvic floor becomes vulnerable to dysfunction around menopause due to one or more of the following reasons:

 

Pelvic Floor Menopause

  • Hormonal changes
  • Weight gain
  • Inactivity
  • Inappropriate exercise choices
  • Birthing injuries
  • Ignored pelvic floor weakness
  • Chronic mistreatment of the pelvic floor over the years
  • Hereditary factors
