What is Pelvic Floor Weakness?
Pelvic floor weakness is the loss of strength or function in the muscles supporting key organs like the bladder, uterus, and rectum. These muscles form a hammock-like pelvis base in your pelvis and play an essential role in controlling bladder and bowel movements and providing stability to the pelvic region. When these muscles weaken, their ability to support these organs diminishes, often leading to urinary and bowel control issues.
About 1 in 4 women experience the consequences of pelvic floor weakness. While pelvic floor weakness is commonly associated with childbirth, it can affect individuals of all genders and ages. Hormonal changes, ageing, and specific physical activities can weaken these muscles. Maintaining pelvic floor strength is essential for overall core stability and daily functioning.
Who Is At The Risk Of Developing Pelvic Floor Weakness?
The following are the risk factors for developing pelvic floor weakness:
- Multiple & back to back pregnancies
- Family history of pelvic floor dysfunction
- Obesity
- Heavy lifting
- High-impact workouts.
Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Weakness
Urinary Incontinence
Increase in urgency and Involuntary leakage of urine while coughing, sneezing, working out or laughing.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
A feeling of heaviness or a bulge in the vagina due to the descent of pelvic organs.
Pelvic Discomfort
Weakened pelvic floor leads to pain, discomfort and pressure in the pelvic region.
Compromised Sexual Health
Weaken pelvic floor muscles lead to pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Bowel Incontinence
Difficulty controlling bowel movements or passing gas.
Low Back Pain
Core stability is compromised due to weak pelvic floors, leading to pain in the lower back.
How Does Empower RF Treatment Work?

Empower RF treatment uses a range of specialised tools to address your intimate health concerns. It combines techniques like gentle heat and electrical muscle stimulation and improves blood flow to treatment areas.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
Activates pelvic floor muscles with the help of current to improve their strength.
Intravaginal EMS
Passes waves of current inside the vagina to target deeper pelvic muscles and improve their strength and tone.
Radiofrequency Energy
RF energy produces heat to promote collagen production and improves tissue elasticity.
Sub-dermal Fractional Microneedling
It improves skin texture and tightness by creating micro-injuries to stimulate healing.
Causes of Pelvic Floor Weakness
Pregnancy & Childbirth
The growing baby puts weight on the pelvic floor. Secondly, a cut during vaginal delivery weakens the pelvic floor.
Long Term Constipation
Straining to empty your bowels regularly can weaken and overstretch your pelvic floor muscles.
Heavy Lifting
Regular heavy lifting increases abdominal pressure, putting strain on your pelvic floor muscles.
Menopause
Vaginal changes after menopause may worsen pelvic floor problems.
Obesity
Extra weight puts more pressure on the pelvic floor muscles.
High Impact Workouts
Heavy weights or jumping can overload pelvic floor muscles if you increase your exercise too quickly.
Urinary Incontinence Treatment Cost
Empower RF treatment costs start at £500 at MySkyn Clinic in Bradford. Our expert will discuss the cost during consultation, as well.
How to Take Care of Yourself While You Have Urinary Incontinence?
Caring for yourself while you have urinary incontinence may help manage the symptoms and improve your well-being.
Work on your Pelvic Floor Muscles
To improve your bladder control, strengthen your muscles with pelvic floor exercises, especially Kegel exercises.
Train your Bladder
Schedule your bathroom visits. Then, gradually increase the time between bathroom visits and resist the urge to urinate until your scheduled time.
Avoid Bladder Irritants
Avoid excessive intake of alcohol, caffeine or spicy food as they irritate the bladder, leading to urgency.
Manage your Weight
Make conscious efforts to manage your weight so that you don’t put extra pressure on your bladder and pelvic floor muscles.
Take your Medication
If your doctor has prescribed medications to manage urinary incontinence, take them on time and regularly.
Use Medicated Support Devices
Specific devices, like a pessary, can support the bladder and help manage stress incontinence effectively. Consult your doctor if you consider using them.
Use Absorbent Products
Use products like pads, liners, or specialised underwear that absorbs the pee leakage—to promote comfort.
Stay in Touch with Your Healthcare Provider
Consult and stay in touch with your healthcare provider to discuss any changes in your symptoms and treatment options, such as medications, physical therapy, or surgery if needed.
