It's "Normal" Aging. Just Live With It
While more common with age, pelvic floor dysfunction isn't inevitable. Many older adults maintain healthy function with proper care and exercise.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Is Rare
In reality, pelvic floor dysfunction is quite common, affecting a significant portion of the population. Many people may not seek help due to embarrassment or lack of awareness.
Surgery Is The Only Solution
Various non-invasive treatments, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and exercises, can be effective.
It Only Affects Physical Health
 Beyond physical symptoms like incontinence or pain, it can affect emotional well-being, leading to anxiety or depression.
Kegel exercises are always the solution
Kegels can strengthen pelvic floor muscles, but aren't one-size-fits-all. Some need relaxation techniques for tight or overactive muscles.
Only Women With Children Are Affected
Childbirth can cause pelvic floor dysfunction, but many women who've never given birth face challenges due to genetics, hormones, or lifestyle.
Only Women Experience It
Men can also experience pelvic floor issues, including incontinence and pelvic pain.
