The research also found that 42% of millennial women reported suffering from painful periods, while 36% experienced pain during intercourse. This high prevalence indicates a critical need for more comprehensive education and awareness around pelvic health among younger generations. 
 
It is worth highlighting the fact that millennials are often at a disadvantage when it comes to understanding their own bodies. They grew up in an era where sex education was lacking or nonexistent, leaving them ill-prepared to recognize and address issues related to their reproductive health effectively. 
 
Also, societal stigmas surrounding these issues don't help either. Many women feel embarrassed discussing such topics even with their doctors, making early detection and treatment difficult. Lack of conversation about this topic leads many young women to believe they're alone in experiencing these problems or assume they are a normal part of being female. 
 
These misconceptions can have serious consequences for both physical and mental wellbeing, as untreated pelvic floor disorders can lead not only to discomfort but also emotional distress due to their impact on sexual function and quality of life. 
 
This study opens doors for further research into the factors contributing to higher rates of pelvic floor dysfunction among the younger generation, including lifestyle habits like diet, exercise patterns, or stress levels; biological factors such as genetics; environmental influences, etc., which could potentially provide insights into prevention strategies. 
 
In response to these findings, Origin has launched a series of virtual workshops aimed at educating college-aged students about the importance of maintaining good pelvic health throughout life. The company is hopeful that by shedding light on this issue now, future generations will be better equipped with the knowledge needed for proactive care rather than reactive treatments after problems arise. 
 
Moreover, healthcare providers should consider integrating routine screening for pelvic floor conditions in annual check-ups, especially those associated with childbirth, irrespective of the patient's age group, because early intervention offers the best chance at successful outcomes without requiring invasive procedures later down the line. 
 
McGurk advises all women, regardless of whether they experience symptoms, to not just familiarize themselves with basic anatomy but also learn how to perform exercises like Kegels correctly since incorrect technique could exacerbate existing conditions. 
 
In conclusion, this research serves as a wake-up call for the healthcare sector, policymakers, and society at large that women's pelvic health issues are not confined to older age groups. There is an urgent need for more in-depth research, better education and awareness programs, improved screening methods, and effective treatment options tailored specifically for younger women. Furthermore, breaking down societal taboos associated with discussing these problems openly will go a long way towards early detection and intervention, leading to healthier and happier lives.
