Understanding the risk factors associated with pelvic floor dysfunction is crucial for prevention and early intervention:

1. Pregnancy and Childbirth: The pelvic floor muscles can weaken or become strained during pregnancy and childbirth, leading to dysfunction.
2. Aging: Changes in hormonal balance and muscle tone that occur with age can contribute to the development of pelvic floor issues.
3. Lifestyle Factors: Chronic constipation, obesity, and high-impact activities can strain the pelvic floor muscles and exacerbate dysfunction.
