Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor (PF) comprises a group of muscles lining the bottom of your pelvis, running from the pubic symphysis joint near the vaginal opening to the tailbone. Not only do these muscles support pelvic organs and joints, but they also play vital roles in sexual function, continence, and even help circulate lymphatic fluid back to the heart. Interestingly, PF dysfunction often intertwines with hip pain, highlighting the intricate connections within our body. These vital muscles also encircle both the urethral, vaginal, and rectal openings.
Many people with cancer simply aren’t told that treatment side effects can impact their pelvic floor.
