Think menopause-related pelvic floor problems automatically mean your pelvic floor is weak? Not necessarily. đ
Sometimes the pelvic floor is actually too tight or has difficulty fully relaxingâand the symptoms may surprise you.
Signs can include:
đ˝ Constipation or straining
⥠Urinary urgency and frequency
â¤ď¸ Painful in*******se
đ˝ Difficulty emptying your bladder
đŁ Pelvic, tailbone, hip, or lower abdominal pain
And hereâs the important part: a tight pelvic floor isnât necessarily a strong pelvic floor. Some women can actually have muscles that are both tight AND weak.
