Common pelvic floor symptoms: when should you seek help?
Pressure, bulging, leakage, urgency, or pain can be signs of pelvic floor issues. Early evaluation helps.
Many pelvic floor symptoms are common and treatable. You should consider an evaluation if you notice:
1) A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis.
2) A vaginal bulge or sensation of something coming down.
3) Urine leakage with coughing, laughing, or exercise.
4) Sudden urgency, frequent urination, or waking up often at night to urinate.
5) Pelvic pain or discomfort that affects daily activities or intimacy.
An appointment typically includes a detailed history, examination, and a personalised plan that often starts with conservative options (physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, medications) before surgery is considered when appropriate.
