pelvic floor dysfunction OVERVIEW

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and other tissues that form a sling or hammock across the pelvis. In women, it holds the uterus, bladder, bowel, and other pelvic organs in place so that they can work properly. The pelvic floor can become weak or be injured. The main causes are pregnancy and childbirth. Other causes include being overweight, radiation treatment, surgery, and getting older.

THERAPY OVERVIEW

Vaginal introital laxity is a common consequences of pregnancy, vaginal childbirth, and connective tissue changing due to aging.  However, this condition is frequently underreported due to embarrassment and lack of recognition [3, 4]. Vaginal laxity (VL) may result in loss of physical and sexual sensation during intercourse leading to a negative impact on female sexual function, self-image, and quality of life
