All you need to know about menopause and pelvic floor rehabilitation, pelvic physiotherapist for menopausal women in London.
What is menopause?
Menopause usually happens between 49 and 52 years old, resulting in hormonal and physical changes. It is defined by the menstrual periods stopping permanently and sometimes the decrease in hormones production of ovaries.
What are the reasons for pelvic floor issues during menopause?
Like muscles in general, menopause and ageing can cause the pelvic floor muscles to weaken. As these muscles support pelvic organs, having them lose strength can lead to pelvic floor issues. Weight gain during menopause can also be a reason for the loss of pelvic floor muscle function, as well as other age-related conditions like asthma, diabetes, or the bladder losing elasticity.
What conditions can results from pelvic floor issues linked to menopause?
Pelvic floor muscles weakening might lead to the following conditions, if not treated on time:
- Leaking when coughing or sneezing
- Urinary incontinence
- Urinary urgencies
- Nocturia: getting up at night to go to the toilet
- Urinary frequency: often need to go to the toilet
- Overactive bladder
Vaginal issues
- Prolapse
- Vaginal and/or abdominal pain
- Sexual dysfunction such as pain or lack of sensation during sexual intercourse
Bowel issues
- Anal incontinence
- Constipation
- Difficulty in controlling wind
How can women’s health physiotherapy help treat pelvic floor issues during menopause?
Pelvic physiotherapy will encourage the control of the pelvic floor muscles, with the ability to relax and strengthen them while using a wide range of various techniques: pelvic floor rehabilitation, deep breathing exercises, biofeedback and hypopressive method. They will, as well, teach you self exercises to be done on your own in between sessions, in order for your recovery to be fast and effective on a long term basis.
Following an assessment, the physio will determine a personalised treatment to go along with your needs and personal background. They will educate you on the conditions you may have that are linked to the weakening of you pelvic floor muscles, and teach you how to self manage them, alongside manual release and manipulation to fasten the recovery and release the pain if you suffer from any (pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse).
The physio can also give advice on other pathology associated with menopause such as poor bone quality (osteoporosis), hot flushes, vaginal dryness, pain with sex…

Whether you gave birth a few years ago or recently, or haven’t been pregnant at all but are experiencing some pelvic floor issues, it is never too late to start physiotherapy rehabilitation. Pelvic floor exercises can be efficient at any stage of your conditions and your life.
