Insufficient Stability in the Pelvic Floor<\/h2>\n

The muscles of the pelvic floor enable a person to lift and carry objects without losing urine or stool. Even under strain, the pelvic floor is therefore able to hold back urine and stool so that it can be excreted later at the desired time. The pelvic floor thus acts as a downward closure of the pelvis and as support for the internal organs.<\/p>\n

Pelvic floor weakness<\/strong> is the loosening and stretching of the supporting apparatus of the pelvic organs, particularly the female pelvic organs.<\/p>\n

In the female pelvis, a number of organs are located in close proximity to each other and to the bladder: The bladder and urethra are located directly behind the pubic bone at the front, the uterus and vagina in the middle and the rectum at the back towards the sacrum. All these organs are connected to the pelvic bones and also to each other by muscles and ligaments.<\/p>\n
