Menopause & Pelvic Floor
Pelvic Floor Wellness in Menopause: Gentle, Effective Relief with Acupuncture
Main Functions of the Pelvic Floor Muscles:
- Support the bladder, uterus (or prostate), and rectum
- Assist with urination and defecation
- Play a role in sexual function
- Provide core and postural support
- Help manage intra-abdominal pressure during activities like lifting or coughing
Reclaim Strength, Confidence, and Comfort—Naturally
Menopause brings many physical and emotional changes, and pelvic floor issues are among the most common—but least discussed—challenges. Symptoms like urinary incontinence, pelvic heaviness, sexual discomfort, or chronic pelvic pain can disrupt daily life and take a toll on your confidence. Fortunately, acupuncture offers a natural, non-invasive way to support your pelvic health and overall well-being during this important life transition.
Why Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Occurs in Menopause
During menopause, declining estrogen levels can lead to thinning of pelvic tissues, reduced muscle tone, and changes in bladder and vaginal function. These hormonal shifts, combined with the natural aging process, can affect:
- Bladder control and urgency
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Pelvic organ support
- Sexual function and sensation
- Overall energy and resilience
Acupuncture: A Holistic Approach to Pelvic Floor Healing
Acupuncture helps regulate and rebalance the body’s systems—gently and effectively. For menopausal clients, it offers powerful support by:
- Improving pelvic circulation to enhance tissue repair and muscle tone
- Regulating hormones naturally, supporting estrogen balance and vitality
- Calming the nervous system, reducing anxiety and pelvic floor tension
- Supporting bladder and bowel control through nerve and muscle coordination
- Relieving chronic pelvic discomfort, tightness, or pressure
We also address associated menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and fatigue—offering you a comprehensive path to wellness.
