Pelvic floor dysfunction can cause symptoms such as lower abdominal, perineal, and pelvic pain, as well as issues with sexual activity, bladder, and bowel control. Other symptoms may include constipation, fecal incontinence, frequent urination or leakage, uncontrollable bowel movements, and pain during urination or intercourse.

The exact cause of pelvic floor dysfunction is unknown, but contributing factors may include aging, trauma, post-surgical treatment, postural or muscular imbalance, lower back or sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and childbirth. These factors can lead to the muscles in the pelvic area not relaxing properly, resulting in frequent contractions and pain.
