Pelvic floor muscles

Pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles located at the bottom of the pelvis. They support the bladder, uterus (in women), and rectum, helping to control urination and bowel movements. These muscles also play a key role in sexual function. Strengthening pelvic floor muscles can improve health issues such as incontinence and enhance sexual satisfaction. Exercises like Kegels, which involve tightening and relaxing these muscles, can help maintain their strength and function. A strong pelvic floor contributes to overall pelvic health and stability.
