How to restore the pelvic floor after giving birth?

During the process of childbirth, especially if women choose natural childbirth, their pelvic floor muscles will be damaged to varying degrees, which will lead to many problems after delivery. The most direct problem is relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, which may cause a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen. In addition, this will seriously affect the quality of future sex life. Therefore, after delivery, you must do more work to promote the repair of the pelvic floor muscles. What are the specific methods?

How to restore the pelvic floor after giving birth?

Postpartum recovery has now become a topic that pregnant mothers are very concerned about and hotly debated. However, most mothers only focus on plasticity and ignore a very critical rehabilitation - pelvic floor rehabilitation. If they do not pay attention to rehabilitation in this aspect, they will suffer from vaginal relaxation, poor sexual life and even urinary incontinence in the future. So, what should be done specifically for postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation?

The female pelvic floor muscles are like a "hanging net", tightly hanging the urethra, bladder, vagina, uterus, rectum and other organs, fixing their normal position, and have multiple physiological functions: controlling urination, defecation, maintaining the tightness of the vagina, etc. Once the pelvic floor muscles and nerves are damaged, it will cause a series of troubles for women, such as vaginal relaxation, poor sexual life, abdominal distension, constipation, frequent urination, urinary incontinence, etc., which seriously affect the quality of life of women.

Surveys show that one-third of mothers will experience pelvic floor relaxation, which can lead to embarrassing urine leakage when they laugh, cough, sneeze or run. Many new mothers have a misunderstanding, thinking that only normal childbirth will cause birth canal relaxation and require pelvic floor rehabilitation. In fact, throughout the entire pregnancy, the pelvic floor muscles are relied upon to support the growing fetus, as well as the pressure on the abdominal and pelvic organs. The pelvic floor muscles gradually relax under continuous pressure, and this phenomenon already exists before delivery. Therefore, whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, it will inevitably cause certain damage to the pelvic floor function of women.

So when the pelvic floor function has been damaged after childbirth, how should we repair the pelvic floor?

At present, pelvic floor muscle assessment, biofeedback training and electrical stimulation therapy, combined with regular pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation exercises (vaginal dumbbells) for women 42 days after delivery have become popular, which greatly reduces the occurrence of pelvic floor dysfunction diseases such as pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence; at the same time, it awakens the nerves and muscles of the pelvic floor, allowing the vagina to better return to a tight state, thereby improving the quality of sexual life. The overall effectiveness of combining biofeedback with electrical stimulation therapy and pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation exercises (vaginal dumbbells) is as high as 90%.

1. Weiss Biostimulation Feedback Instrument SA9800 Evaluation Version: This instrument provides electrical stimulation, standardized Kegel template training and multimedia biofeedback training to patients to help treat their muscle dysfunction (pelvic muscle relaxation, urinary control disorder, fecal control disorder, sexual dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, etc.).

——Standardized Kegel template training: actively promote muscle coordination and stability;

——Myoelectrically triggered electrical stimulation: active and passive combination to reshape neural pathways;

——Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: promote blood circulation and enhance muscle strength;

——Multimedia biofeedback: interesting training to consolidate therapeutic effects;

——Psychological training: progressive muscle relaxation assists pelvic floor relaxation;

2. Weiss Ruiyi Pelvic Floor Muscle Rehabilitation Device: The pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation device, commonly known as vaginal dumbbells, is an auxiliary device used to exercise pelvic floor muscle contraction. For patients with various pelvic floor dysfunction diseases, it can enhance their pelvic floor muscle strength, improve pelvic floor blood circulation, and maintain the lasting therapeutic effect of pelvic floor rehabilitation.
