What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction? The pelvic floor is a group of muscles located at the base of your pelvis. These muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs while helping control essential functions such as urination, bowel movements, and sexual activity. Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when these muscles become too weak, too tight, or uncoordinated, leading to symptoms such as:
1. Urinary leakage or urgency
2. Constipation or straining
3. Pelvic heaviness or pressure
4. Pain during intercourse lower back or abdominal discomfort
5. Pelvic organ prolapse
