5 Common Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction You Shouldn't Ignore

Pelvic floor dysfunction is incredibly common, but because it’s rarely talked about, many people ignore the warning signs until they become severe. The earlier you catch these symptoms, the easier they are to treat.

Are You Experiencing Any of These?

1. Accidental Leakage: A little dribble when you laugh, sneeze, or jump isn't "normal"—even if you’ve had kids. It’s a sign of dysfunction.

2. Frequent Urination: Do you plan your day around washrooms? Going more than 8 times a day could signal an overactive bladder or tight pelvic floor.

3. Constipation or Straining: Difficulty emptying your bowels often stems from uncoordinated pelvic muscles.

4. Lower Back or Hip Pain: If your core and pelvic floor aren't supporting you, your back takes the hit. Unexplained back pain often has a pelvic cause.

5. Pain During Intercourse: Sex should never be painful. This is a hallmark sign of hypertonic (tight) muscles.
