In most women, the pelvic floor can recover over time and with appropriate pelvic floor training from the strain of childbirth. However, if it does not regain its stabilising function on its own, problems such as bladder weakness, back pain, vaginal prolapse or abdominal hernia may occur.
Through targeted pelvic floor training under the professional guidance of postnatal trainers or pelvic floor physiotherapists, such complaints can often be prevented or alleviated.
