Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, sometimes causing pelvic pain, painful sex, and fertility problems.
Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows within the uterine muscle, sometimes causing heavy periods, severe cramps, pelvic pain, or painful sex.
Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when pelvic muscles are weak, overly tight, painful, or poorly coordinated, affecting bladder, bowel, pelvic, or sexual function.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues supporting pelvic organs while helping control urination, bowel movements, posture, and sexual function.
Pelvic base refers broadly to the lower supporting region of the pelvis, especially the pelvic-floor muscles and tissues beneath the pelvic organs.
Pelvic support muscles stabilize the pelvis, support pelvic organs, and contribute to continence, movement, penetration, ejaculation, and orgasm.
The pelvic diaphragm is the deep muscular floor of the pelvis that supports pelvic organs and contributes to continence, sexual function, pregnancy, and childbirth.
Pelvic muscles are muscles within and around the pelvis that support movement, posture, pelvic organs, continence, sexual function, pregnancy, and childbirth.
Pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs and contribute to continence, penetration, erection, ejaculation, orgasm, pregnancy, and childbirth.
