perineaalilihas

Perineaalilihas refers to the muscles located in the perineum, the area between the anus and the genitals. This muscular structure plays a crucial role in pelvic floor function. It is part of a complex network of muscles that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus (in females), and rectum.

The perineaalilihas is involved in several important bodily functions. It helps to control urination and defecation by supporting the sphincters of the bladder and anus. Additionally, these muscles are essential for sexual function and play a role in childbirth. Weakness or damage to the perineaalilihas can lead to issues such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse.

Exercises designed to strengthen the perineaalilihas, often referred to as Kegel exercises, are commonly recommended for both men and women. These exercises involve repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles to improve their tone and strength. Maintaining healthy perineaalilihas is important for overall pelvic health and can contribute to improved quality of life.
