Dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse), lack of orgasm

Female patients often explain that the reason for their inferior sexual sensations are tiredness or depression, especially where their sense of touch or sensation is reduced.Husbands or partners, on the other hand, often suspect them of not being interested and not loving them.However, it is worth remembering that any of these problems may be caused by pelvic floor dysfunction resulting from childbirth, gynaecological surgery, as well as stress, changes to the locomotor system and other factors. Skilled physiotherapy which is individually adjusted to a particular patient allows her to enjoy better intimate sensations.And in the case of vaginismus, it makes sexual intercourse possible.

Urinary incontinence, urgency, overactive bladder

...is the feeling of incomplete voiding. The so-called Kegel exercises (individual, in groups or at special courses), vaginal balls or electrostimulation are only to strengthen muscles.However, weak muscles may not be the actual cause of the problem and then strengthening them will not improve the situation.Excessive tension in some pelvic floor muscles, their pain and pressure on nerves leads to dysfunction of the entire bladder-sphincter system. Therefore, physiotherapy in such situations involves identifying the cause of the problem by interviewing the patient and carefully examining the pelvic floor.The right method (one or more) is then chosen which is appropriate for the specific condition of the patient’s pelvic floor.

What is pelvic floor?

...bottom part of the body.The bladder, intestines and, for women, the uterus, rest on these muscles and are held up by ligaments.Therefore, this is where the exits of these systems are: the urogenital system and the gastrointestinal tract. All of these organs and muscles, including their fasciae, nerves, and ligaments are fitted in the small pelvic space.This is why, where one of the elements is dysfunctional (e.g. a swollen muscle) it may have a domino effect causing various conditions (as described in the indications).
