The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles located in the bottom of your pelvis and inside your pelvis. They control urination, bowel function, and sexual function. If these muscles become weak, you could have problems with urinary leakage, urinating frequently, difficulty with bowel movements, or pain with intercourse. PT can teach you exercises to help strengthen these muscles to help manage your symptoms.
