The difference between pelvic floor muscle hypertonicity and laxity

The difference between pelvic floor hypertonicity and relaxation is the difference in pelvic floor muscle tension and contraction at rest. Pelvic floor hypertonicity is a condition in which the pelvic floor muscles are highly tense and unable to relax at rest, and the pelvic floor muscles are highly tense and continually contracting. Pelvic floor hypertonicity may cause the patient to experience constipation, pelvic pain, and pain during sexual intercourse due to limited pelvic floor muscle movement. Pelvic floor muscle laxity is a condition in which the pelvic floor muscles have reduced tension, poor contractile function, and low muscle tone, resulting in pelvic floor muscle laxity. Pelvic floor muscle relaxation may lead to urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse, and bulging of the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina. When these conditions occur, it is important to consult a doctor in time to make a clear diagnosis and take effective symptomatic treatment measures, so as not to delay the condition.
