How to check the pelvic floor muscles?

The pelvic floor muscles are the most important part of female childbirth, so generally a detailed examination must be done during pregnancy or childbirth to prevent various problems. It is best to go to the hospital for examination, and the effect will be better. Therefore, it is best for everyone to first understand what the pelvic floor muscles are and what functions they have. Now the editor will introduce them to you.

The pelvic floor is an interconnected system of muscles, ligaments, nerves and connective tissue, and the pelvic floor muscles refer to the muscle group that closes the pelvic floor.

This muscle group is like a "hanging net". The urethra, bladder, vagina, uterus, rectum and other organs are tightly suspended by this "net", thus maintaining their normal position so that they can perform their functions. Once the elasticity of this "net" deteriorates and the "hanging force" is insufficient, the organs within the "net" will be unable to maintain their normal position, resulting in corresponding functional disorders such as urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, etc.

For many women, going through a complete reproductive process is an essential part of life. After ten months of pregnancy and giving birth to a healthy and lovely baby is one of the greatest joys in life. But for the pelvic floor muscles, pregnancy and childbirth undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to it. During pregnancy, as the fetus continues to grow, the force acting on the pelvic floor muscles also increases, and the elastic limit of the pelvic floor muscles is challenged.

During childbirth, the pelvic floor muscles are further squeezed and torn. The pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy and childbirth are like a rubber band that has been stretched to its limit. Their elasticity and contraction ability are greatly weakened and they can no longer return to their original state.

The above is the specific function of the pelvic floor muscles. In fact, the pelvic floor muscles are very important, so everyone must pay attention to them, especially after childbirth, you must pay more attention to the recovery of the pelvic floor muscles. At the same time, you must develop good living habits in normal times, and you must also develop good living habits and hygiene habits.
