Learning about the pelvic floor can help prevent issues and help you understand treatment options if you do have problems! So what is the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor refers to a group of muscles at the bottom of your torso that attach to the pelvis. These muscles surround your urethra (where pee comes out), vagina (if you have one), and anus (i.e. butthole). We all have three layers of pelvic floor muscles, each with specific jobs.
