What is the best way to perform pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation?

The most important physiological period in every woman's life is actually the time of childbirth. There is a very important period after a woman gives birth, which is the period of pelvic floor recovery. The treatment of pelvic floor recovery should be carried out earlier, and women need to practice more by themselves. Others can't help. However, often it is because of ignoring this point that the pelvic floor disease relaxes. What should we do at this time?

Studies have shown that 30% of women with urinary incontinence cannot contract their pelvic floor muscles correctly, and their ability to perform pelvic floor muscle contraction exercises on their own is not fully guaranteed. Therefore, electrical stimulation and biofeedback pelvic floor function rehabilitation technology is currently mainly used for pelvic floor dysfunction diseases. Electrical stimulation therapy awakens proprioceptors, passively exercises muscles, inhibits bladder detrusor contraction, relieves pain, and promotes local blood circulation.

We say that surgical treatment not only increases the economic burden, but also has certain surgical risks and complications, and the long-term recurrence rate is as high as 60%. For patients who really have difficulty seeing a doctor, it is recommended that they do the following simple pelvic floor muscle exercises.

1. Contract the muscles around the urethra, vagina, and anus, just like the muscles you use when holding your urine. Contract for 5 seconds each time and relax for 10 seconds. Practice repeatedly whenever you think of it, whether you are riding in public transportation, operating a computer at work, standing, or sitting.

2. Place your palms against your lower back near your buttocks, breathe in deeply, feel the muscles of your entire back and lower genitals contract, then exhale slowly.

3. When urinating, let the vaginal muscles relax, contract, relax, contract repeatedly... and repeat this several times. It can exercise the elasticity of vaginal muscles and urethral sphincter.

4. Exercise in bed. Lie flat on your back, bend your knees, tighten your buttocks, and contract your urethra and vaginal muscles, while pulling your anus, just like the muscle movement that contracts the anus after a bowel movement, or the feeling of having the urge to go to the toilet but having to hold it in. Maintain the anal contraction movement for five to ten seconds and then relax. Repeat this at least thirty times a day.

Pelvic floor dysfunction has seriously affected the lives of many women, so this issue has received more and more attention. I hope that all women will pay more attention to several issues after childbirth and restore the pelvic floor function in time, otherwise there will be more or less adverse effects on the body in the future. We must pay attention to this issue.
