Pelvic Pain 101: Reasons for Pelvic Pain and What You Can Do
Pelvic pain affects millions of women, yet many suffer without clear answers or effective treatment. From tailbone pain and painful periods to bladder discomfort and pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic pain can appear in many forms and significantly impact daily life. The good news? Pelvic floor physical therapy and simple lifestyle changes can help address the root causes and provide lasting relief.
Prolapse 101: What is Prolapse?
Pelvic organ prolapse can cause uncomfortable symptoms like pelvic pressure, heaviness, bulging, and difficulty emptying the bladder or bowels. Prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs lose support and begin to press into or out of the vagina, often due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, constipation, or increased abdominal pressure. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help reduce symptoms, improve support, and restore confidence in daily activities.
Painful Sex 101: Why does sex hurt?
Pain with sex is incredibly common, yet many women are told to simply “relax” or “use more lube” instead of getting real answers. Conditions like overactive pelvic floor muscles, vaginismus, vulvodynia, scar tissue, and vaginal dryness can all contribute to painful intercourse. The good news is that pelvic floor physical therapy can help identify the root cause and guide you toward pain-free sex.
