Summary

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.
