đ˝ Constipation & Your Pelvic Floor: A Hidden Link
Constipation isnât just a digestive issueâit can have a real impact on your pelvic floor.
When constipation becomes ongoing, it often leads to:
⢠Repeated straining or bearing down
⢠Increased tension through the pelvic floor
⢠Longer time spent on the toilet
⢠Changes in how the pelvic floor muscles coordinate
Over time, this can contribute to:
â ď¸ Pelvic floor dysfunction
â ď¸ Urinary or bowel leakage
â ď¸ Difficulty fully emptying
â ď¸ Pelvic pressure or pain
The pelvic floor relies on coordination and relaxation, not force.
When constipation is present, those patterns can be disruptedâsometimes without you even realizing it.
If constipation is part of your routine, your pelvic floor may be affected.
