Pregnancy, childbirth, chronic cough or long-term constipation, obesity or congenital pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to pelvic floor muscle relaxation. Pelvic floor muscle relaxation may cause harm: gynecological inflammation, stress incontinence, uterine prolapse, constipation and so on.
With the increase of gestational weeks, the pressure of the fetus on the pelvic floor and holding breath during labor and delivery may affect the pelvic floor fascia, ligament and muscle tension, thus causing a certain degree of damage; chronic cough, long-term constipation or obesity due to the long-term abdominal pressure increases further caused by the pelvic floor muscle relaxation. A very small number of people may be born with poor pelvic floor function and pelvic floor muscle relaxation.
Pelvic floor muscle relaxation is manifested as vaginal relaxation to increase the occurrence of vaginal inflammation or affect sex life, etc.; in severe cases, pelvic floor muscle relaxation is accompanied by uterine prolapse and prolapse of the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina, which is easy to stress incontinence or constipation and other symptoms.
