The role of the pelvic floor is to keep these organs in place, not to fall down when doing heavy work, running and jumping.
The pelvic floor also plays the role of opening and closing the openings of the urinary tract, vagina, anus, helping to control bowel movements and urination at will, sexual activity, making the birth process easier.

Pouch-type rectal prolapse: A pouch-type rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum prolapses and protrudes behind the vaginal wall. This is the result of weakening of the rectal muscles and the connective tissues surrounding the rectum. Rectal prolapse can make bowel movements (the smooth muscle contractions) difficult and can cause constipation. In some people, it may be necessary to put your hand inside the vagina and push the rectum to make bowel movements easier. Vaginal hernia: occurs when the small intestine and abdominal cavity wall bulge, pressing between the vagina and rectum. This usually happens after you have had surgery to remove your uterus. A vaginal hernia is the result of a weakening of the connective tissue and ligaments that support the uterus. Vaginal hernias are usually asymptomatic. But some women may feel heaviness or pressure in the pelvis and may feel pain below the waist. Bladder prolapse: Bladder prolapse occurs when the bladder prolapses and protrudes from the anterior wall of the vagina. This is the result of weakening of the connective tissues and structures that support the bladder. Uterine prolapse: Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus descends into the vagina. Vaginal prolapse: Vaginal prolapse is the lower part of the vagina that causes the vagina to protrude.
