<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhat is this famous muscle hammock used for?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\u21d2 It supports the organs.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u21d2 It ensures continence.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u2022 When it weakens, leakage may occur.<\/p>\n\u21d2 It plays a role in sexuality.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u21d2 It supports breathing and posture.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Why can the pelvic floor weaken?
<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\u2192 Aging, which is accompanied by natural muscle relaxation.
\u2192 Certain high-impact sports (running, jumping) that exert repeated downward pressure.
\u2192 Being overweight, chronic coughing, or constipation, which increase pressure on the pelvic floor.
\u2192 In men, certain medical procedures, particularly those involving the prostate, can affect continence.<\/p>\nMuscles need to be maintained (and rehabilitated)
