Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation in Children

When these muscles are weakened or underdeveloped in children, problems such as urinary incontinence, constipation, and pelvic pain can occur. Specialist Dr. Osman Çelik offers pelvic floor rehabilitation as an effective treatment option in solving such problems in children.

The treatment process begins with a comprehensive assessment of the child’s condition. This assessment analyzes the strength, flexibility and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles. A special rehabilitation program is then created for the child based on these analyses. Techniques such as biofeedback, pelvic floor muscle exercises and electrical stimulation may be used during the treatment process. These techniques help children learn to use their muscles correctly and strengthen them.

Biofeedback allows the child to follow muscle activity with visual or auditory feedback, and thus learn correct muscle contractions. Pelvic floor muscle exercises aim to strengthen the child's muscles in this area. Electrical stimulation stimulates the muscles and supports the work of weak muscles. Regular application of these methods alleviates the problems experienced by the child and increases the quality of life.

The duration and method of treatment may vary depending on the child's age, general health status and response to treatment. Specialist Dr. Osman Çelik regularly reviews the treatment plan according to the needs of children and families during the treatment process and updates it when necessary. Being patient and continuing the treatment regularly is important for the success of the treatment. Pelvic floor rehabilitation in children is a very effective and important treatment method in the management of problems such as urinary and fecal control.
