Pelvic Floor & Bladder Control

Pelvic Floor & Bladder Control focuses on the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel, and help regulate continence.

When these systems weaken, tighten, or lose coordination, women may experience urinary urgency, leakage with coughing or exercise, difficulty emptying the bladder, pelvic pressure, or symptoms of prolapse, where pelvic organs shift downward due to reduced support.

These changes are common during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, menopause, and periods of chronic stress, yet many women are not given clear guidance on how to understand or improve them.

This tag brings together evidence-based insights on pelvic floor strength, bladder control, and the factors that contribute to prolapse. Topics include pelvic floor therapy, muscle coordination, hormonal influences, childbirth recovery, aging, metabolic health, and lifestyle strategies that support long-term pelvic resilience.

Whether you are noticing new symptoms, managing prolapse, or proactively strengthening your pelvic floor, this section offers practical, science-backed guidance to help women build confidence and regain control.
