About Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles found in the floor of your pelvis. Pelvic floor dysfunction is the inability to correctly relax and coordinate your pelvic floor muscles to have a bowel movement. Symptoms include constipation, straining to defecate, having urine or stool leakage and experiencing a frequent need to pee. If you’re a woman, you may also feel pain during sex.
Symptoms include:
- Frequently needing to use the bathroom
- Constipation, or a straining pain during your bowel movements
- Straining or pushing really hard to pass a bowel movement
- Leaking stool or urine (incontinence)
- Painful urination
- Feeling pain in your lower back with no other cause
- Feeling ongoing pain in your pelvic region, genitals or rectum — with or without a bowel movement
Our pelvic floor therapy requires a referral from a provider. For more information or to schedule an appointment with Allyson Vogt, call Jackson Purchase Physical Therapy at 270.251.4121.
