Steemit Learning Challenge-S27W4; Physiofit; Pelvic Floor Strengthening
Task 1: You have to share your knowledge about pelvic floor, muscles, it's type, and causes. Try to add 3 to 4 new causes.
The pelvic floor is combination of the muscles, ligaments also the tissues which are present in the form of group and acted to work in supportive structure and these are present at the base of pelvis.
The main organ in which they form a bridge for holding the bladder, uterus and also rectum.
The role of muscles is very crucial as they control the urination, also the movement of the bowel, role in pelvic organ support and also posture stability and also in sexual functioning. Hence this floor ensured the proper functioning of all concerned organs.
Pelvic floor muscles
The pelvic floor muscles are as follows.
The fist muscle is levator ani it consists of wide muscle sheets and it has paired with further three types of muscles.
The levator ani is a broad sheet of muscle. It is composed of three separate paired muscles;
pubococcygeus
puborectalis
iliococcygeus.
The next muscle is coccygeus muscles it has main role if control and support the organ of the pelvic region.
The perineal muscle it's consist of a group of muscles and these are present in perineum that is specific area present in the anus and genitals, it's mainly functioning is making the the basis of the pelvic floor.
The pelvic floor muscles can be divided as follows.
The first pelvic floor muscle is hypertonic muscle tone which is appeared due to more muscle tone which becomes the reason of either pain, any strains and also makes it tougher for relaxing. This is particularly happened due to painful pelvic, pain associated with sexul intercose etc.
Another situation which is due lowering muscle tone becomes the cause of urinary leakage, other weakness and cystocele. It's due to accidental bowl leakage and other pelvic organ or cystocele etc.
While another category of pelvic floor is normotinic in this case muscle tone work quite normal and there is controlled regulations of either contractors and relaxation and resulting it's responsible for normal functioning of the pelvic.
There are following reasons of pelvic floor dysfunction which are described below.
The foremost cause is pregnancy and also the delivery process it leads to weaknesses of muscles and it might be happening due to any injuries.
As the time passed on and again continues it leads to muscle weakness with time and it's natural phenomenon of life.
As we got more body weights and it exerts more pressure on pelvic regions and it leads to weaknesses.
If someone suffered from the severe constipation it became the reason of the muscle weakness.
Certain surgical methods of prostate also become the cause of loosen the muscles.
Any specific injuries in pelvis region also affecting the muscles.
The poor sitting posture affects the pelvis floor muscles.
Few activities such as running and also jumping us cause of affecting the muscle strength.
Task 2: You have to share your history if your suffer from any pelvic floor dysfunction recently that is present with symptom or any patient nearby.
Yeah due to cesarian I suffered from this issues and I had in trouble because I felt my pelvic muscles are affected and my bladder is working not well most of the time I couldn't control my urination and my sitting posture was also not good, my suffering increase much with time but thank God I consulted with physiotherapists who advised me few exercises which I am continuing while staying at home and I will overcome this issues very soon.
Task 3: It would be better if you treat the patient by performing above given physiotherapy management, share videos or pictures while performing and then review after getting treatment. (Try to use 3 methods).
I have shared my exercises of Glutes and Abductors Squeeze and second is Hip Bridging Exercise while third is Pelvic Tilton my doll friend.
