How They’re Connected
Your gut and pelvic floor share space, nerves, and muscles. When one isn’t working well, the other can be affected.
- Bloating: Increased abdominal pressure from bloating can tighten pelvic floor muscles, causing discomfort.
- Constipation: Straining can weaken pelvic muscles, while pelvic floor tension can make it harder to go.
- IBS: Irritable Bowel Syndrome can stress the pelvic floor, creating pain and imbalance.
