Frequently Asked Questions about IC and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Why is this happening to me all of a sudden?
Typically, pelvic floor dysfunction has been present for years before a patient visits a physical therapist. Perhaps symptoms were minor, but at such a low level you didn’t think anything of it. You may have taken a few more bathroom stops than your friends, experienced occasional pain during sex, or felt a twinge in your stomach with a full bladder.
What is the reason for my pelvic floor dysfunction?
Interstitial cystitis itself automatically triggers pelvic floor dysfunction. This may be exacerbated by other causes—a fall on your tailbone, pelvic surgery, or childbirth all can cause trauma to the pelvic region and spark a chain reaction of pelvic floor problems. It’s likely that a combination of factors is responsible.
How long until I get better?
Pelvic floor issues are incredibly complex, and vary from patient to patient. Someone just diagnosed with IC and who felt symptoms only recently can’t be compared to someone struggling with the condition for decades without addressing the pelvic floor.
