Stomach flu or food poisoning can do more than upset your stomach.
Frequent diarrhea and urgency place repeated stress on the pelvic floor muscles. Rushing to the bathroom, tightening to avoid accidents, and frequent bowel movements can disrupt coordination and muscle control.
For some people, this can lead to lingering symptoms like urgency, leakage, or pelvic discomfort, even after the illness has passed.
Pelvic floor physical therapy helps retrain these muscles, restore balance, and support recovery after illness.
If something feels different after being sick, your pelvic floor may be asking for support. đź’™
