What is the pelvic floor?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, rectum, uterus (in women), and prostate (in men). Certain health conditions and life experiences can cause these muscles to become strained, weakened, or overly tight and not function properly. This can be due to a traumatic injury to the pelvic area, a prior pelvic surgery (e.g., hysterectomy, prostatectomy), pregnancy and childbirth, stress and anxiety, and aging.
