Suffering from incontinence, the involuntary release of urine, is a common experience for all genders. Living with the uncertainty of maintaining control can be challenging, leading many to avoid specific activities such as exercise. The fear of leaking urine with laughter or coughing is a similar concern.
The term 'pelvic floor' encompasses various types of muscles and connective tissues that support important organs in your pelvis, your bladder, bowel (large intestine) and internal reproductive organs.
Functionally, the pelvic floor serves to support the internal organs, stabilise the pelvis, and manage the opening and closing of bodily passages. Additionally, it functions as a 'pressure diverter,' stretching and contracting in coordination with your breathing and other movements of your body.
Consulting with a doctor is advisable.
If you find yourself facing urinary incontinence without apparent reasons such as increased stress or other logical factors, it's recommended to consult with your doctor.
