Urinary incontinence occurs when the pelvic floor muscles become too weak. This causes urine to leak out of a person involuntarily. Urinary incontinence can happen to anyone, but is most common in women who have given birth or women over 50.

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Pelvic floor dysfunction is a condition where the pelvic floor muscles behave abnormally. Women who have pelvic floor muscles that are too tight may start to experience extreme pain, which includes pain with intercourse..

Overactive Bladder
