Millennial Women Are Experiencing A Pelvic Health Epidemic

Most young women don’t think twice about their pelvic health. In fact, many women don’t even know what it means to have good pelvic health, even if they have recently had a baby. A recent survey suggests that millennial women may be struggling with their pelvic health even more than previous generations.

A recent survey conducted by Origin, a premier provider of women's pelvic floor and whole-body physical therapy, in collaboration with market research giant Ipsos, has shed light on the prevalence of pelvic health issues across different generations. The survey, which focused on women aged 18 to 59, uncovered that pelvic floor problems are not just a concern for older women, as commonly believed. Surprisingly, millennials are experiencing these issues at rates comparable to or even exceeding those of Generation X, challenging the prevailing notion that such conditions primarily affect the elderly.
