What causes pelvic floor dysfunction?
The exact cause isn’t known, but a few factors seem to play a role. These include traumatic injuries to your pelvic area (like a car accident or a fall), overusing your pelvic muscles (straining to use the toilet), pelvic surgery (like a hysterectomy or prostatectomy), pregnancy and childbirth, ageing, stress and anxiety, and connective tissue disorders.
