pelvic floor injury

Pelvic floor injury involves damage to the muscles, ligaments, or tissues that support the organs in your pelvis, such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum. This can occur from factors like childbirth, surgery, heavy lifting, or trauma. When the pelvic floor is injured, it may lead to symptoms like urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, or organ prolapse, where organs slip out of their normal position. Treatment depends on severity and may include exercises, physical therapy, or surgery to restore support and function. Maintaining pelvic health through awareness and proper care can help prevent or manage such injuries.
