Pelvic Floor Issues Post Pregnancy and Birth – Symptoms

Transcript

Many of the common symptoms of pelvic floor issues are due to weakened support of the bladder, uterus or rectum. The severity of the pelvic floor symptoms often depend on the extent of tissue damage during labor and childbirth. Many women find that they have an overactive bladder or even lose bladder control or fecal incontinence. Alternatively, they may experience constipation or difficulty fully emptying their bladder. Unfortunately, sexual intercourse may also become painful or less satisfying for mothers with pelvic floor issues post-vaginal childbirth.
