Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Expert pelvic floor rehabilitation by Dr. Amit Majumdar to improve bladder control, support pelvic organs, and enhance quality of life.

Service Detail

Pelvic floor rehabilitation is a specialized approach to restoring strength, function, and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles play a vital role in supporting the bladder, uterus, and bowel, as well as maintaining continence and core stability.

When the pelvic floor becomes weak, overactive, or uncoordinated, it can lead to a range of symptoms including urinary leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, and discomfort. With the right rehabilitation program, these issues can be effectively managed and often significantly improved.

Dr. Amit Majumdar, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with super-specialty expertise in urogynecology, offers structured pelvic floor rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient. His focus is on restoring function, relieving symptoms, and improving long-term pelvic health.


Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that acts as a supportive base for the pelvic organs. It also plays a key role in:

  • Bladder and bowel control
  • Sexual function
  • Core strength and posture

When these muscles are not functioning properly, even simple daily activities can become uncomfortable or challenging.


Common Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Patients may experience a variety of symptoms depending on the type of dysfunction.

These may include:

  • Urinary leakage or urgency
  • Difficulty controlling bowel movements
  • Feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis
  • Pelvic organ prolapse symptoms
  • Pain in the pelvic region
  • Discomfort during intercourse

These symptoms often develop gradually and may worsen without treatment.


Who Can Benefit from Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation?

Pelvic floor rehabilitation is suitable for a wide range of patients, including:

  • Women after childbirth
  • Patients with urinary incontinence
  • Individuals with pelvic organ prolapse
  • Women experiencing chronic pelvic pain

Early intervention can prevent symptoms from progressing and improve long-term outcomes.
