What are the common causes of constipation?
Dehydration, sedentary lifestyle, inappropriate fibre intake and tight or poorly coordinated pelvic floor muscles that obstruct the movement of stools are the most common causes. Hormonal changes in pregnancy and menopause can also result in gut slow down and changes in gut microbiome. For some, these changes can cause constipation and pain.
Does pelvic floor dysfunction contribute to constipation and what are the symptoms?
Pelvic floor muscles work closely with the anal sphincter and other muscles within the pelvis, abdomen and back to support the bowel for effective movement and help to control the anal opening. Dysfunction ranging from laxity and weakness to inability to relax with defecation can contribute to constipation. It affects the ability of the gut to move digested food and prevents effective relaxation of the anal canal for smooth evacuation.
