Signs of a tight or overactive pelvic floor can include:
- Pain during sex, pelvic exams, or tampon use
- Frequent UTIs
- Pelvic, tailbone, hip, or back pain
- Constipation or pain when emptying bowels
- Urinary leakage
- Bladder pain
A tight pelvic floor can result from various factors, such as pregnancy, childbirth, medical procedures, a stressful job, falls on the tailbone, or other traumatic events that put stress on the pelvis.
