August Health Message: Importance Of Pelvic Health

Your pelvic health is an essential aspect of your overall well-being that often goes unnoticed until problems arise. Taking care of your pelvic health is crucial for maintaining a high quality of life and preventing potential complications.

Here are some proactive steps you can take:

N
Bladder Cancer Risk: Well-hydrated individuals may lower their risk of bladder cancer. Water helps break down toxins and carcinogens, flushing them out through the urinary system1.
N

Engage in Pelvic Floor Exercises: Strengthening these muscles supports bladder, bowel, reproductive, and sexual health.

N

Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight can strain the pelvic floor muscles.

N

Pregnancy and Childbirth: During pregnancy, a well-functioning pelvic floor supports the growing uterus. After childbirth, pelvic exercises help restore muscle tone and prevent issues like prolapse.

Don’t hesitate to seek advice from YUA if you have any concerns or questions about your pelvic health. Our experienced team of urologists is here to provide expert care, support, and guidance tailored to your needs. Remember, prevention is key, and a strong pelvic floor is the foundation for overall well-being!
