1. Pelvic gymnastics

The specific method requires mothers to consciously contract the vagina. New mothers cannot feel the extent of vaginal contraction, so they can contract the pelvis when urinating.

Moreover, while contracting the pelvic floor muscles, try to avoid contracting other muscles, such as the thigh roots, back and waist muscles.

Keep in mind that the intensity and duration of the exercise can be increased little by little. At the beginning, contract the urethra, anus and perineum for 5 to 10 seconds each time, then relax, repeat the above movements at intervals of 5 to 10 seconds, continue for 5 minutes, and do it twice a day. You can gradually increase the amount of exercise in the future.

The patient will see improvement in 4-6 weeks and significant results in 3 months. However, for those with moderate to severe pelvic function problems, electrical stimulation therapy or related surgical treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
