PELVIC DYSFUNCTIONS
Pelvic or perineal dysfunctions can undeniably occur as a result of changes in the pelvis and malfunctioning of the muscles of the PERINEUM, in this sense it is independent of age and gender.
Initially, the weakness of these muscles is the cause of the urinary incontinence (loss of pee), fecal incontinence< /a> (loss of gas or feces), pelvic organ prolapse (“droopy bladder”), and some sexual dysfunctions (decreased pleasure, difficulty having an erection, difficulty having an orgasm).
However, people who cannot relax these muscles (hyperactivity) may complain of urinary retention (difficulty peeing), intestinal constipation (difficulty having a bowel movement), pelvic pain< /a> (pain in the pelvic region) and some sexual dysfunctions (pain during sexual intercourse, difficulty in having an erection, premature ejaculation, among others).
Without a doubt, pelvic dysfunctions are embarrassing and bring a decrease in quality of life and self-esteem.

Urinary incontinence
According to the International Urogynecology Association (IUGA) , urinary incontinence is in fact all involuntary loss of urine, regardless of quantity and frequency.
Furthermore, it is not necessary to carry out any test to prove incontinence, as the patient’s complaint is enough to require treatment.
Fecal incontinence
By analogy, fecal incontinence (or anal) is the involuntary loss of feces liquid, pasty or solid. As well as inability to retain gases.
Just like urinary incontinence, it is not mandatory that any test be carried out to prove incontinence, since the patient’s complaint is sufficient for treatment.
Urinary retention
Urinary retention is the difficulty eliminating urine (peeing) adequately, as well as physiologically.
Therefore, this incomplete emptying causes the patient to constantly have the sensation of having a full bladder, so much so that this unpleasant sensation causes the patient to need to go to the bathroom several times, leading to an increase in urinary frequency .
Intestinal constipation
Also called intestinal constipation, although popularly known as constipation. In short, it is a condition where defecation becomes difficult and infrequent, occurringless than 3 times a week.
Certainly around 80% of people will experience some temporary episode of constipation during their lives, especially pregnant women, as 40% of them will experience this difficulty during their pregnancy.
Pelvic organ prolapse
You’ve probably already heard of “dropped bladder“.
Just to give you an example, this is the popular name for this pathology that affects many women in adulthood.
In short, it is the displacement of the pelvic organs (urethra, bladder, uterus and rectum) towards the vaginal canal.
Sexual dysfunctions
Basically, sexual dysfunctions are also part of pelvic dysfunctions and can affect < the href=”https://www.perineo.info/en/man/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>men and the women.
In short, they are related to desire, excitement, orgasm and pain.
In short, they can have organic, psychological and physical causes and must be treated by an interdisciplinary team.
Pelvic pain
In short, pelvic pain is characterized by persistent and recurrent pain in the pelvic region, which causes a very negative impact on thequality of life, as well as the sexuality.
Abdominal diastasis
In fact, abdominal diastasis occurs because the rectus abdominis muscles separate, forming a space, as if it were a hole, in the middle of the belly.
