Information & Treatment Options For Patients With Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic floor muscles are crucial in establishing the strength and stability of your physical core, as well as having a great impact on breathing, posture, and general overall comfort. They also serve as key support to pelvic organs in both men and women.
Pelvic floor dysfunction is the inability to control the group of muscles and ligaments in the pelvic region, causing the patient to contract rather than relax them. For women, this condition can lead to discomfort during sex. For both men and women, it can also result in pain in the pelvic region, genitals, or rectum.
Integrative medical care can address this condition by helping to provide more optimal blood flow to the pelvic area. Clinical studies have shown that acupuncture can also be effective in treating pelvic floor dysfunction.
