Pelvic Floor Health During Menopause

🌸 Pelvic Floor Health During Menopause: What You Need to Know

Menopause is a powerful transition, and with it comes a lot of changes — including shifts in your pelvic floor health. This area of the body plays a major role in your comfort, confidence, and core strength.

🤍 What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?

Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports the bladder, uterus, and bowel. When those muscles weaken or become unbalanced, you may experience:

• Leaking when you cough, laugh, or jump

• A heavy feeling in your pelvic area

• Pain during intimacy

• Trouble fully emptying your bladder or bowels

💫 Why It Happens in Menopause

During menopause, estrogen levels drop — and this can affect the strength, elasticity, and hydration of your pelvic tissues. The result? Muscles that aren’t functioning at their best.

✨ There’s Help — and You’re Not Alone

Pelvic floor dysfunction is super common, and it’s very treatable. Some options include:

• Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy – Learn safe, targeted exercises

• Vaginal Estrogen (Rx) – Restore tissue tone & hydration

• Breathwork + Core Support – Small changes in posture & breath can help

• Menopause Coaching – Support for the whole picture: hormones, lifestyle, and emotional well-being

✅ Three Things You Can Do Today

1. Start paying attention. Notice if you're leaking, bearing down, or feeling pressure.

2. Practice deep belly breathing — inhale through your nose, exhale slowly through your mouth.

3. Reach out for support. You deserve to feel strong and supported.
