It\u2019s not something that immediately comes to mind, but your bowel movements and your pelvic floor are closely connected.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Constipation can strain the pelvic floor, and a weakened pelvic floor can make bowel movements more difficult. It\u2019s a vicious cycle\u2014one that\u2019s best understood so you can break it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll explain everything, without holding anything back.<\/p>\n

The pelvic floor plays a key role in proper bowel function: when it doesn\u2019t coordinate correctly (for example, if it doesn\u2019t relax at the right time), it can make passing stool more difficult.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This creates a vicious cycle: constipation strains the pelvic floor, and a weakened pelvic floor perpetuates constipation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u21d2 But here\u2019s the good news: you can address both issues.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”85%” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”30px||10px|-70px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”30px||10px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”30px||10px|-70px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”12px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”20px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_line_height=”1.4em” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”85%” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”|||-70px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||0px|false|false” text_font_tablet=”|600|||||||” text_font_phone=”Poppins|500|||||||” text_font_last_edited=”on|phone” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”12px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”1.4em” text_line_height_phone=”1.3em” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A few simple habits can help reduce pressure on the perineum and ease bowel movements.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u21d2 Don\u2019t strain when using the restroom.<\/strong> Avoid prolonged pushing: it\u2019s exhausting for the perineum.

really help with bowel movements?” _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Elevating your feet to bring yourself closer to a squatting position often places the body in a posture that is more conducive to bowel movements, which reduces the need to strain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A simple, small step stool may be all you need.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u21d2 In cases of persistent constipation, it is still recommended to seek professional advice.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Which foods promote healthy digestion?”

with digestion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since everyone is different, a healthcare professional or dietitian can provide more specific advice based on your individual situation.<\/p>\n
