Pelvic floor self-assessment
Find a doctor- Do you feel a bulge or a sensation of something falling out in your vaginal area that you can see or feel?
- Do you feel like your bladder doesn’t fully empty after you urinate?
- Do you have to push on a bulge with your fingers in your vaginal area to start or complete urination?
- Do you urinate more than eight times a day or more than once at night?
- Do you leak urine when you sneeze, cough, laugh or exercise?
- Do you feel a strong urge to urinate and sometimes don’t make it to the toilet in time?
- Have you ever lost control of your bowel movements?
- Do you experience bowel urgency or constipation?
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, you may have a pelvic health disorder, which could be easily treatable – your doctor can help you find out how.
