Factors Influencing Women's Health Conditions

​

Women's health physiotherapy focuses on the unique healthcare needs of women throughout their lives. Our team at M.K. Clinic And Physiotherapy Center identifies and treats underlying factors to provide personalized care and support for a range of conditions. Some of the factors that influence women's health conditions are:-

 

• Hormonal Changes: Throughout a woman's life, hormonal fluctuations occur during puberty, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause. These changes can impact the musculoskeletal system and the function of pelvic floor muscles, leading to conditions such as pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic pain, and bone density loss.

 

• Physical Trauma: Pregnancy and childbirth can place significant stress on the body, potentially resulting in issues like pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation), and urinary incontinence. Traumatic experiences during childbirth or surgery can also contribute to pelvic health challenges.

 

• Age-Related Changes: As women age, the natural ageing process can bring about changes in tissue elasticity and bone density. Postmenopausal women may experience vaginal dryness and weakening of pelvic floor muscles, which can affect bladder control and pelvic organ support.

 

• Sedentary Lifestyle: A lack of physical activity and sedentary behaviour can weaken muscles, including the pelvic floor, leading to issues like urinary incontinence and reduced core strength.                                                                                                                                                 

• Obesity: Excess weight can put added pressure on the pelvic region and weaken pelvic floor muscles, increasing the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction and discomfort.                                                      

• Chronic Health Conditions: Certain health conditions, such as chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, and cardiovascular diseases, can have implications on women's pelvic health and overall well-being.
