The Link Between Sex And Your Pelvic Floor
“Chances are, you may not be that well acquainted with something you were born with – your Pelvic Floor.” First of all, where is my ‘Pelvic Floor’? Your pelvic floor muscles are located between your legs and form the base of your pelvis. The muscles attach to your pubic bone at the front and to the base of your spine (coccyx) at the back. The muscles are shaped like a sling and attach at the sides of your pelvis to the bones that you sit on. Your back passage (anus), vagina and urethra (tube from the bladder) all pass through the pelvic floor muscles. What does it do exactly? Your pelvic floor basically holds your pelvic organs in place – your uterus, bowel and bladder. It supports and gives you control over your bladder and bowel. It also affects the function of your vaginal muscles, which are involved in sexual intercourse. What factors can affect my pelvic floor? Pregnancy, age, the onset of the menopause, and gynaecological or pelvic surgery, e.g. a hysterectomy. What can go wrong? Any of the above factors can weaken your pelvic floor muscles. This means your pelvic organs are not fully supported and you may have less control of the release of urine, faeces (poo) or wind. Weakened pelvic floor muscles can also cause reduced sensitivity and pleasure during sex. […]
