Cause of pelvic muscles to become weakness?
Pelvic muscle weakness can be caused by various factors, including pregnancy, childbirth, aging, surgery, excess weight, a sedentary lifestyle, and certain medical conditions such as stroke, herniated disc, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypotonia, and peripheral neuropathy [1][4][5][6]. Additionally, vaginal dryness caused by a hypoestrogenic state or decreased levels of estrogen can also lead to weak pelvic floor muscles [3].
Maintaining a healthy weight and engaging in regular exercise, particularly resistance training, can help stimulate the muscles and bones, maximize mobility and overall function, and prevent pelvic muscle weakness [4][5]. Furthermore, biofeedback, pelvic floor physical therapy, medications, and other treatments may be recommended to manage and improve symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction [1][2].
