Pelvic floor muscles, "net" live in women's health

Women want health, happiness, there must be a strong "net."


Core Tip: ① urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse, sexual decline in the quality of life, with great weakness of the relationship between pelvic floor muscle.

② pregnancy and childbirth, let severely damage pelvic floor muscles.

③ within one year of post-natal pelvic floor muscle function is to restore the "golden time."

 

  Leakage "Network" of the concerns: urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse

Pelvic floor muscles, is the closure of the pelvic floor muscle group. This muscle group is like a "hanging net", urethra, bladder, vagina, uterus, rectum and other organs have been this "net" Diaozhu closely in order to maintain normal position in order to exercise its functions.

 

Once this "net" flexibility worse, "hanging power" inadequate, would lead to "network" within the organ could not be maintained in the normal position, and thus a corresponding dysfunction, such as incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and so on.

 

Increased abdominal pressure (such as coughing, sneezing, laughing) involuntary leakage of urine when it is the performance of stress urinary incontinence. Often leak so that there is a washing underwear not to the unpleasant smell, a more serious may need to absorb the energy, causing great inconvenience to life.

 

"Hanging power" inadequate, but also can be expressed as pelvic organ prolapse (uterine prolapse, vaginal pre / posterior wall bulging), fecal incontinence. In the elderly are often due to a tumor found in female genital prolapse, only to the hospital's. However, due to late treatment, prolapse was more serious and often miss the timing of early rehabilitation had to undergo surgery.

 

Stress urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse, are long-term effects of pelvic floor muscle weakness, while the decline in the quality of sexual life, it is the recent major impact. This is especially prevalent in the post-natal women. A considerable proportion of maternal mild vaginal anterior and posterior wall relaxation, prolapse, excitability decreased and so on, coupled with post-partum hormonal changes, vaginal mucous membrane dryness and meager, perineal wound healing, poor, a direct impact on sexual quality of life.

 

Can be said that a woman should be health, happiness, there must be a strong "net."


  Motherhood, the main cause of weak pelvic floor muscles

Pregnancy and childbirth, are caused by weak pelvic floor muscles is one very important reason. October pregnancy, with the fetus gradually grow up, role on the strength of the pelvic floor muscles become greater pelvic floor muscles elastic limit to be challenged. Childbirth, the pelvic floor muscles squeezed further by the fetus and tear.

 

In addition, if excessive weight gain during pregnancy, for example, more than 20 kilograms (generally recommended control in 12.5 kilograms or less), as well as multiple birth, large fetus, birth dystocia occurs when the use of forceps and, more likely to cause pelvic floor muscle by the loss.

 

 Self-setting-up exercises pelvic floor muscle

As early as 1948, the United States has proposed Sexologists Kegel pelvic floor muscle training for women to be, that is conscious, there is rhythm to do pelvic floor muscle contraction and relaxation of the movement, so as to enhance pelvic floor muscle strength.

Like other setting-up exercises, pelvic floor muscle training can be divided into two kinds of free-hand with the apparatus.

Training ① hand tightening the anus, at the beginning to shrink 3 seconds of time (less than 3 seconds, if you can adhere to shorten the time), with the effect of strengthening exercises, and gradually extended to 10 ~ 15 seconds. ② relax anus, and contraction to maintain the same length of time. Repeat day 2 or 3 times, each time to 10 minutes is appropriate.

Apparatus training, that is, "the vagina dumbbell." In the vagina squeezed "dumbbell"-like a small device, so that tightening the vagina to prevent their prolapse. Persist in a short time each day (about 10 minutes) exercise, from sitting, standing position to a jog trot, trot, small instruments are given a light to heavy, gradually increase the difficulty. Such training should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor in order to avoid infection or equipment damage caused by improper selection.

 


  Game-like pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training

However, due to pelvic floor muscle "invisible", about 10% of women do not know how complete contraction of pelvic floor muscles, more women are doing such training is not correct. Some women in the contraction when the pelvic floor muscles, hold your breath, "belly tightly," and can not do natural breathing; while others at the same time shrink the abdomen and thigh muscles, these errors can not be achieved exercise training effect.

Now, there is a more professional, more intuitive means, is the "pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training system." This system, stimulation and feedback system mainly includes two parts.

 

Stimulation system for some post-partum women "can not find the feeling of contraction," through the instrument, with the low-frequency electrical stimulation, so that the passive muscle contraction, so that they understand the location of muscle contraction, and gradually master the method of voluntary contraction.

This is to stimulate the feedback system connected to a display system, it will show the curve of muscle contraction. Trainer, like playing video games in general, while training, while watching their movement curve. Interestingly, the screen will appear, such as "Oh, its belly force," and "This contract did not adhere to Hao E" and other human language tips. At the same time the system has a variety of modules and scenarios simulations to enhance the exercise interesting.

 

In the Society of the correct method of pelvic floor muscle contraction, may persist in a short time every day at home, the "vagina dumbbell" exercise, in order to save "training victories."

 

Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training, the sooner the better start. Within one year of post-natal pelvic floor muscle function is to restore the "golden time." In France, post-partum women are routinely pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training. In recent years, many domestic cities Obstetrics and Gynecology has also been

 

Extensively carried out this training.

Unable to have children than women, should also be tempered. The pelvic floor muscle training is good, life-long benefit.
