What causes pelvic floor issues as we age?
Let’s be honest—there’s more than one culprit.
Hormonal changes: As menopausal women experience a natural decline in oestrogen levels, the tissues supporting the pelvic muscles lose strength and elasticity. This drop in oestrogen makes the pelvic floor more prone to weakness, sagging, and dysfunction.
The impact of childbirth: Pregnancy and labour can significantly stretch or damage the pelvic floor, leaving lasting effects even decades later.
Ageing: With age, the natural production of collagen and elastin declines, reducing tone and support in the entire pelvic region.
Increased pressure: Heavy lifting, chronic coughing, weight gain, and constipation can all place pressure on the pelvic floor, leading to pelvic floor dysfunction or even pelvic organ prolapse over time.
What happens when your pelvic floor weakens?
You may recognise some of these signs:
- Leaking urine when laughing, sneezing, coughing, or exercising (hello, stress urinary incontinence)
- A heavy feeling or pressure in the pelvic area, especially after standing for long periods
- Discomfort during sex or reduced sensation
- Overactive bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination
- Reduced bowel control
It’s frustrating. It’s disruptive. And, let’s face it, it’s sometimes downright embarrassing. But it’s also incredibly common, and nothing to feel ashamed about.
The good news: you don’t have to just put up with it
Here’s the thing: if you’re dealing with pelvic floor muscle weakness, it doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it. You don’t have to rely solely on pelvic floor exercises (though they help!) or keep crossing your legs every time you sneeze.
At Oracle Clinics, we offer a gentle, clinically proven solution: EmpowerRF.
This non-invasive, non-surgical treatment targets weakened pelvic muscles directly. Using safe radiofrequency and electrical muscle stimulation, EmpowerRF strengthens deep tissue, improves elasticity, and supports the pelvic floor structure from the inside out.
Think of it as personal training for your pelvic floor—without the lunges, awkward stretches, or gym gear.
How does it work?
EmpowerRF delivers gentle energy into the connective tissues and pelvic floor muscles, encouraging collagen production and restoring muscle tone. This means:
- Less sagging
- Better bladder control
- Reduced urgency
- Enhanced sexual sensation
- Relief from pressure or pelvic pain
Most women see results in just a few sessions—with no downtime, no pain, and no surgery. Just a discreet, effective way to care for an area of your body that deserves extra care.
What can you expect?
Your treatment journey starts with a private chat—we’ll go through your concerns, perform any necessary physical examination, and create a treatment plan tailored to your body, history, and lifestyle.
From there, the EmpowerRF sessions are quick, comfortable, and don’t interrupt your everyday life. You’ll be able to get back to work, home, or wherever you need to be straight after.
The takeaway: Don’t ignore it
Pelvic floor disorders are far more common than people realise. They can happen slowly, quietly, and affect everything from your bladder habits to your confidence. But here’s the truth: they’re not something you have to tolerate.
If you’re noticing any signs of urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, or a heavy feeling in your lower abdomen, EmpowerRF could be the simple, effective step toward reclaiming your comfort.
