The pelvic floor is made up of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that hold the pelvic organs in place. Women are prone to pelvic floor problems from pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause which can weaken these muscles. Common pelvic floor disorders include prolapse where the uterus or bladder slips from its normal position. Five signs of a pelvic floor problem are painful sex, urinary incontinence, heaviness or pain in the pelvis, difficulty urinating or having bowel movements, and low back pain. Kegel exercises and avoiding straining can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
