CAUSES OF PELVIC FLOOR WEAKNESS

The pelvic floor can deteriorate due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, impact sports, chronic coughing, etc.

• Pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum : these are the main risk factors that predispose women to suffer from pelvic floor dysfunctions. During pregnancy, due to the weight of the uterus that overloads the tissues.

During childbirth, due to the passage of the baby through the vagina, aggravated in cases of heavy weight of the baby or notable head circumference and aggravated if an episiotomy needs to be performed. In the case of cesarean deliveries, weakening of the pelvic floor may also occur.

In the postpartum period, if the weakened muscles are not exercised correctly, early practice of abdominal exercises or excessively aggressive gymnastics can accentuate the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.

• Menopause: The passage of time and hormonal changes during menopause can cause a loss of flexibility in the pelvic floor and lead to tissue weakening.
• Impact sports : Sports such as spinning, aerobics, running, which increase intra-abdominal pressure, can cause, even in very young women, loss of pelvic floor tone.
• Genetic inheritance: Two in ten women have innate weakness in their pelvic floor muscles.
• Daily habits : Holding urine for a long time or wearing very tight clothes.
• Other causes : obesity, constipation, chronic cough and stress.
