Approximately 1 in 10 women worldwide have endometriosis, an inflammatory condition where endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus, creating lesions that thicken during your menstrual cycle and bleed during menstruation.
Endometriosis commonly causes chronic, severe pelvic pain, heavy periods, pain during or after intimacy, infertility, debilitating cramps, lower back pain, painful bowel movements/urination, fatigue, and bloating, to name a few.
Symptoms are often worse during periods and can significantly impact daily life.
Pelvic floor PT addresses the musculoskeletal system and soft tissue dysfunction contributing to pain, helping to improve the function, flexibility, and strength of the pelvic floor muscles.
While there's no cure, working with a pelvic floor PT can provide many benefits: 👇
🔹 Relieve Endometriosis Pain 💥
Excision surgery is often used to treat endometriosis, which involves surgical removal of endometrial-like tissue.
Your PT can help re-train pelvic muscles so they’re able to relax and coordinate contractions.
🔹 Reduce Painful Intimacy 💕
Working with a pelvic floor PT to help reduce spasms and relax your pelvic muscles can help make intimacy less painful.
🔹 Alleviate Abdominal Bloating
Excessive bloating, known as Endo belly, can occur when inflammation causes a buildup of endometrial tissue, leading to distention of the abdomen.
Pelvic floor tightening can also lead to constipation, which can contribute to bloating.
Pelvic PT helps reduce inflammation, constipation, and spasms, which can improve distention.
🔹 PT Goes Beyond Each Session
Your can determine how your pelvic floor muscles contribute to your symptoms and provide customized treatment and an individualized home exercise program to improve results.
