So what are the methods for repairing the pelvic floor after childbirth? Next, this article will introduce you to methods of postpartum pelvic floor repair for your reference only.

The female pelvic floor is mainly composed of muscles and fascia. The pelvic floor is like a hammock, supporting the bladder, uterus, rectum and other pelvic organs at the perineum and anus, maintaining our urination, defecation and other physiological functions. However, during pregnancy and childbirth, the pelvic floor muscles of normal people are further squeezed and torn by the fetus, which inevitably causes varying degrees of damage to the pelvic floor muscles and leads to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Therefore, the pelvic floor needs to be repaired after childbirth. What are the methods for pelvic floor repair after childbirth? The methods of postpartum pelvic floor repair are as follows:

1. Pelvic floor exercises

The specific method is to consciously contract the vagina. Because it is difficult for beginners to feel the strength of vaginal contraction, you can contract the pelvic floor when urinating. If the urine flow stops during contraction and continues to flow out during relaxation, it means that the correct muscle group contraction is in place. While contracting your pelvic floor muscles, try to avoid contracting other muscles, such as your thigh, back, and abdominal muscles.

The intensity and duration of training can be gradually increased. Start by contracting the urethra, anus, and perineum for 5 to 10 seconds each time, then relax. Repeat the above movements after an interval of 5 to 10 seconds for 5 minutes, twice a day. Gradually increase the amount of training later.

2. Anal lifting method

That is, consciously and autonomously contract the pelvic floor muscles, mainly the levator ani muscles, to enhance urinary control ability and pelvic floor muscle strength. The specific method is to repeatedly tighten the anus and vagina, tighten for at least 3 seconds each time and then relax, do it continuously for 15-30 minutes, or do it 150-200 times a day. The patient will see improvement in 4-6 weeks and obvious results in 3 months. For those with severe pelvic floor dysfunction, electrical stimulation therapy or related surgical treatment should be performed under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Exercise method

Postpartum mothers can enhance elasticity recovery and promote vaginal firming through some exercises, such as holding urine, anal levator exercises, contraction exercises or other exercises. Through these daily exercises, the tension of the pelvic muscles and the muscles around the vagina can be greatly improved, which helps restore the elasticity of the vagina and is helpful for sexual life. In addition to restorative exercises, postpartum mothers should also ensure that they take in essential nutrients to ensure muscle recovery.
