The perineum is a group of muscles that are shaped like a “hammock”

between the pubic bone and the tailbone. It supports the abdominal organs

such as the bladder, uterus and rectum, and controls the evacuation of

stools, gas and urine. It also promotes the sensation of pleasure during

sexual encounters. And it facilitates the passage of the baby during

childbirth.

It is therefore a core support

area of the body, which is

often overlooked. A healthy

perineum prevents urinary or

anal incontinence, pelvic organ

descent, and allows for a fulfilling

sex life.
