The pelvic floor is responsible for defecation, through coordination of gentle deep abdominal muscle contractions with simultaneous full relaxation of the pelvic floor.
💩 Constipation or urgency can lead to constant pressure on the muscles of the pelvic floor causing weakness and dysfunctional gut motility
💨 Those with pelvic organ prolapse are 3x more likely to develop IBS
🩹 If the gut is unhealthy, this can lead to toxin accumulation, disruption of gut bacteria and increased leaky gut (intestinal inflammation and permeability) allowing “gunk” to travel to the pelvic floor and causing inflammation of the pelvic floor as well
🚽 What to do??👩🏻⚕️
🧬Work with a pelvic floor therapist and Naturopathic Doctor to help correct the gut and decrease inflammation
