Why does pelvic floor dysfunction occur after childbirth?

The function of the pelvic floor is like a hammock, supporting the bladder, uterus, rectum and other pelvic organs at the perineum and anus, maintaining sexual pleasure, urination, defecation and other physiological functions of the couple. During pregnancy and childbirth, mothers will inevitably suffer varying degrees of damage to their pelvic floor muscles, leading to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. In other words, the elasticity of this "hammock" has deteriorated, and the organs in its "net" cannot be fixed in their normal position, resulting in corresponding functional disorders.

Mild cases of pelvic floor injury may include loose birth canal, abdominal distension, sexual dissatisfaction, frequent urination, constipation and other discomforts; severe cases may cause urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse, bladder prolapse, rectal prolapse and other diseases, causing unspeakable pain. The incidence of these clinical manifestations increases with age.

Many women do not understand pelvic floor dysfunction and attribute many problems to not taking good care of themselves after childbirth. They “leave problems alone” when they arise, not realizing that this will cause them to miss the best period for pelvic floor repair. Most mothers suffer from pelvic floor disorders, but the severity varies. It is recommended to have a pelvic floor function test 42 days after delivery and treat any problems as soon as possible if they are found. If no problems are found yet, it is best to conduct pelvic floor rehabilitation training in a timely manner to improve the quality of life of the couple after childbirth and prevent problems such as abnormal urination during menopause.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy can be said to be a "compulsory course after childbirth", but in fact, as early as the planning period of pregnancy, it is necessary for women to learn how to accurately locate muscle groups, contract correctly, and perform pelvic floor training step by step, at the right time and in the right amount, and persistently. As pregnancy progresses, the uterus gradually increases in size, and the pressure and damage to the pelvic floor also increase day by day.
