From incontinence to intimacy, there are a few topics that many of us shy away from when it comes to talking. But we want to at least get you thinking about it. You see, urinary incontinence is a common issue for women of all ages and whilst you might find it really embarrassing, there’s a simple solution that means you don’t need to endure it.
Pelvic floor exercise is the process of repeatedly contracting and relaxing your pelvic floor muscles - those that surround your bladder. Carrying out these exercises regularly, for even just a few minutes, is said to stop incontinence in up to 70% of cases. Plus, there’s a few other benefits. So if you want to transform your life, read on to discover how you can get to the core of your problems - and we’ll even recommend one of our favourite devices to help you out.
Better bladder control
Your bladder - along with other pelvic organs such as your uterus, rectum and small intestine - is surrounded by a layer of muscles. When weakened, they aren’t able to contract when needed to, resulting in those pesky accidents.
If you’re suffering, you’re not alone. 1 in 3 women face the same issues. A weak pelvic floor can be caused by childbirth, ageing or the menopause - as well as high-impact sport, weight gain and even a lack of fitness. As with any other muscle in the body, with a little exercise, your pelvic floor can be strengthened though.
Faster postnatal recovery
During labour, pelvic floor muscles can be weakened and put under immense stress. Even during pregnancy, the weight of carrying a baby can weaken the same muscles. Without treatment, this can lead to serious health conditions such as prolapse.
It’s no surprise then that the number of women suffering actually increases to 80% in new and expectant mums. Therefore, both during pregnancy and afterwards is a great time to carry out regular pelvic floor training. It’s recommended that you speak with your doctor before using any internal devices though.
Enhanced intimacy
Weak pelvic floor muscles can also affect another area of your life. Put simply, stronger muscles will make the experience more pleasurable and stop any pain. Not just that but these muscles also help with sensations so they’re pretty important.
Whether your pelvic floor has been weakened because of age, childbirth or something else, regularly performing dedicated exercises can enhance things in the bedroom - and rekindle that intimacy.
