The pelvic floor is the area of your body which includes your hip bone. The openings from your bladder, bowels, and womb all pass through your pelvic floor. It actively squeezes when you cough or sneeze to help avoid leakage, and if it is not working effectively, you may suffer from an urgent/frequent need to pass urine with decreasing control over this function.

The pelvic floor muscle (Pubococcygeal) is a large ‘sling’ like group of muscles stretching from side to side across the floor of the pelvis and is responsible for holding all the pelvic organs and abdominal content within the pelvis. It also supports the bladder and bowels and controls vaginal secretions during sexual arousal.
