1. What is pelvic floor muscle?
Pelvic floor muscles are composed of a group of muscles and fascia ligaments, which close the pelvic outlet, maintain normal physiological functions and support pelvic organs. There are deep muscles and shallow muscles. The affected deep muscles will lead to uterine prolapse, vaginal wall swelling and other problems, resulting in urinary leakage, leading to a decline in the quality of sexual life. Pelvic floor muscle injury is a long-term and chronic injury process, which should be found, diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
Second, the function of pelvic floor muscles
Pelvic floor muscles participate in controlling urination and defecation, maintaining the physiological function of sexual life and pelvic floor structure, and maintaining the normal pelvic organs. If the pelvic floor muscles have problems and the pelvic floor function is damaged, there may be urinary leakage, constipation, anterior and posterior vaginal wall bulging, uterine prolapse, pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction and so on. So the sooner the pelvic floor muscles recover, the better.
Third, what is postpartum urinary incontinence?
The muscles at the bottom of pelvis are collectively called pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, uterus, rectum and other organs like a spring bed, and have many important physiological functions such as controlling urination, defecation and maintaining vaginal tightening's degree.
During pregnancy and childbirth, women will strain the pelvic floor muscles to varying degrees, or damage the nerves that control the muscles, resulting in pelvic floor dysfunction. Therefore, once coughing, sneezing and laughing increase abdominal pressure, urine leakage may occur. This phenomenon is called postpartum urinary incontinence.
Fourth, what is the harm of postpartum pelvic non-repair?
1, causing a burden on the lumbar muscles.
After a woman is pregnant, the pelvic floor can no longer bear the weight of the upper body, and the weight is transferred to the waist, resulting in waist pain and even lumbar muscle strain.
2, posture deformation, private parts relaxation
When women experience pregnancy and childbirth, pelvic floor muscles become slack, abdominal fat will appear, buttocks will sag, and private parts will relax, which will affect the life of husband and wife.
3, easy to cause infection and gynecological diseases.
After menopause, the level of estrogen decreases, the vaginal mucosa becomes thinner and the self-defense ability decreases. In addition, the relaxation of pelvic floor muscles leads to the semi-open vagina, which greatly increases the probability of reproductive tract infection, thus causing gynecological diseases.
4. Stress urinary incontinence
During pregnancy, the uterus moves down, and the pelvic floor muscles gradually relax under pressure, which leads to the decrease of bladder neck position. If you don't recover early at this time, you will cough and sneeze when you are old, which will lead to urinary incontinence.
Four or three methods of teaching pelvic recovery.
1, vertical motion
In order to effectively recover the pelvis, it is recommended that women recover through vertical exercise after delivery. The specific way is to keep your legs slightly open and shoulder-width, and then contract your hip muscles on both sides to make your thighs close to each other. Finally, the knees are turned out and the vagina is lifted up. Exercise every day can effectively promote the recovery of pelvis.
2. Horizontal movement
Horizontal exercise can also effectively promote the recovery of pelvis. The specific method is to lie on your back on the edge of the bed, then put your hips on the edge of the bed, let your legs stop hanging out, and then hold the edge of the bed with both hands to prevent slipping; Then slowly lift your legs together until they are lifted above your body, then put your hands around your legs to keep them close to your abdomen, and finally slowly put down your feet to restore your legs to their original posture. Doing it several times a day can achieve the effect of promoting pelvic recovery.
Step 3 run
Running can also promote pelvic recovery. This is because when running, you can exercise the pelvis and keep running for half an hour every day, which can not only effectively promote the recovery of the pelvis, but also achieve a certain slimming effect.
The above article introduces three methods of recovering pelvis after delivery in detail, but it should be noted that female friends are weak after delivery, so it is not recommended to engage in strenuous physical exercise, so as not to affect the recovery of the body and thus damage human health.
