Pelvic Floor Health and Its Importance During National Women’s Health Week
Pelvic Floor Health Focus During Women's Health Week
This week marks National Women’s Health Week, a time dedicated to encouraging women to prioritize both their mental and physical well-being. This year, the spotlight is on a lesser-known but essential part of the body: the pelvic floor. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Women’s Health has chosen pelvic floor health as the theme for the 2025 awareness week, aiming to increase education around a topic that often goes unrecognized.
Understanding the Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor is a mesh of muscles that supports your pelvic organs. According to Dr. Amani Zewail, an OB-GYN and the Northern California regional lead for female sexual health, “The pelvic floor is crucial for many functions, including bladder control and sexual health.”
