  • Changes You Can Make to Improve Bladder Problems
    CHANGES YOU CAN MAKE TO IMPROVE BLADDER PROBLEMS The SUFU Foundation OAB Clinical Care Path Way For more information on better bladder control visit: http://sufuorg.com/oab GUIDE TO PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLE TRAINING Your Pelvic Floor Muscles Your pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles that support your bladder and help control the bladder opening. They attach to your pelvic bone and go around the rectum. These muscles form a sling or hammock that supports your pelvic organs (bladder, rectum, in women the uterus, in men the prostate). If the muscles weaken, the organs they support may change position. When this happens, you may have problems with urine leakage and other signs of overactive bladder (OAB) like urgency and frequency. That’s why it’s important to keep these muscles strong so they can properly support your pelvic organs. You can do this by exercising them regularly. Finding Your Pelvic Floor Muscles To begin these exercises, you first have to make sure that you know which muscles to contract. To do this, think of the muscles you would use to control the passing of gas or to hold back a bowel movement. Now, without using the muscles of your legs, buttocks, or stomach, tighten or squeeze the ring of muscles around your rectum as you would in those situations. These are your pelvic floor muscles. When you squeeze these muscles, you should feel a tightening or pulling in of your anus. Men may also see or feel their penis move and women may feel their vagina tightening or pulling up.

  • The Pelvic Floor and Core Exercises
    The pelvic floor and core exercises The pelvic floor muscles as part of the core Muscles play a key role during exercise, but did you know there is a hidden group of muscles, called pelvic floor muscles, that need special attention? Pelvic floor muscles form the base of the group of muscles commonly called the core. These muscles work with the deep abdominal (tummy) and back muscles and the diaphragm (breathing muscle) to support the spine and control the pressure inside the abdomen. The pelvic floor muscles play an important role in When this happens repeatedly during each supporting the pelvic organs, bladder and bowel exercise session, over time this may place a control and sexual function, in both men and downward strain on the pelvic organs and this may women. result in loss of bladder or bowel control, or pelvic organ prolapse.

For example, when lifting a weight, the internal pressure increases, then returns Pelvic floor muscles need to be flexible to work as to normal when the weight is put down. part of the core, which means that they need to be able to relax as well as lift and hold. It is common In the ideal situation the regulation of pressure for people to brace their core muscles constantly within the abdomen happens automatically. For during exercise in the belief they are supporting example, when lifting a weight, the muscles of the spine, but constant bracing can lead to the the core work together well: the pelvic floor muscles becoming excessively tight and stiff.

  • The Pelvic Floor Muscles - a Guide for Women This Booklet Is Supported by Wellbeing of Women Registered Charity No
    The Pelvic Floor Muscles - a Guide for Women This booklet is supported by Wellbeing of Women Registered Charity No. 239281 www.wellbeingofwomen.org.uk Introduction Up to a third of all women experience a problem with their pelvic floor muscles at some time during their life. The most common problems are leaking with activity, sneezing or coughing (stress urinary incontinence) and pelvic organ prolapse (a feeling of something coming down in the vagina). All the bladder, bowel and sexual functions require good pelvic floor muscles. Effective pelvic floor muscles in pregnancy will reduce the risk of postnatal stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Bowel Uterus Bladder Pubic Bone Tailbone Pelvic floor muscles Vagina Urethra The pelvic floor muscles lie across the base of your pelvis to help keep the pelvic organs - bladder, uterus and bowel - in the correct position. The muscles are held in place by ligaments that support the organs especially when there is an increase of pressure in the abdomen that occurs with lifting, bending, carrying and straining. This is called intra-abdominal pressure and when it increases the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles brace so that the internal organs such as the uterus and bladder are not pushed downwards. The pelvic floor muscles work to help keep the bladder and bowel openings closed to prevent unwanted leakage (incontinence) and they relax to 1 allow easy bladder and bowel emptying. Good pelvic floor muscles can help with sex by improving the vaginal sensation and your ability to grip. Your pelvic floor muscles are important in posture and with the abdominal muscles help to support your spine.

  • Anatomy of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
    Anatomy of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Marlene M. Corton, MD KEYWORDS Pelvic floor Levator ani muscles Pelvic connective tissue Ureter Retropubic space Prevesical space NORMAL PELVIC ORGAN SUPPORT The main support of the uterus and vagina is provided by the interaction between the levator ani (LA) muscles (Fig. 1) and the connective tissue that attaches the cervix and vagina to the pelvic walls (Fig. 2).1 The relative contribution of the connective tissue and levator ani muscles to the normal support anatomy has been the subject of controversy for more than a century.2–5 Consequently, many inconsistencies in termi- nology are found in the literature describing pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue. The information presented in this article is based on a current review of the literature. LEVATOR ANI MUSCLE SUPPORT The LA muscles are the most important muscles in the pelvic floor and represent a crit- ical component of pelvic organ support (see Fig. 1). The normal levators maintain a constant state of contraction, thus providing an active floor that supports the weight of the abdominopelvic contents against the forces of intra-abdominal pressure.6 This action is thought to prevent constant or excessive strain on the pelvic ‘‘ligaments’’ and ‘‘fascia’’ (Fig. 3A). The normal resting contraction of the levators is maintained by the action of type I (slow twitch) fibers, which predominate in this muscle.7 This baseline activity of the levators keeps the urogenital hiatus (UGH) closed and draws the distal parts of the urethra, vagina, and rectum toward the pubic bones. Type II (fast twitch) muscle fibers allow for reflex muscle contraction elicited by sudden increases in abdominal pressure (Fig.

The anatomy of the pelvic floor and its fascial components are currently poorly described and misunderstood. This systematic search and review aimed to explore and summarize the current state of knowledge on the fascial anatomy of the pelvic floor in women. Methods: A systematic search was performed using Medline and Scopus databases. A synthesis of the findings with a critical appraisal was subsequently carried out. The risk of bias was assessed with the Anatomical Quality Assurance Tool. Results: A total of 39 articles, involving 1192 women, were included in the review.
