What do we need to know about pelvic floor exercises?

People experiencing the following conditions can benefit from pelvic floor muscles exercises:

• Women experiencing urinary stress incontinence
• Men experiencing urinary stress incontinence following prostate surgery
• People who are experiencing fecal incontinence

In pelvic floor muscle training exercise, you pretend you need to urinate and then hold it. The muscles that regulate urine flow are relaxed and tightened. Finding the correct muscles to tighten is critical.

Who qualifies for the exercises?

• If you experience stress incontinence, you should seek medical attention immediately — urine leaks in stress incontinence when the bladder is suddenly put under a lot of strain. When you cough, laugh or exercise, urine leaks involuntarily. Strengthening pelvic floor muscles can cure stress incontinence.
• The most prevalent cause of weaker pelvic floor muscles is childbirth. Exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles after delivery may help prevent stress incontinence later in life.

When do you need to see a doctor?

What are the different types of pelvic floor exercises?

Always consult a specialist before opting for a pelvic floor workout regimen. Some common pelvic floor strengthening workouts include:

Kegel exercise: Kegels or pelvic muscle training involves contracting and releasing the pelvic floor muscles. If you have pee leakage from sneezing, laughing, leaping or coughing or if you feel frequent urges to urinate, Kegels may help.

Pelvic brace: Go on all fours with your belly button drawn back against your spine and up between your ribs. Hold for three seconds, then let go. Do two sets of eight repetitions.

Pelvic tilt: Your knees should be bent while you lie on your back on the floor. Now tighten your abdominal muscles and slightly bend your pelvis up to flatten your back against the floor. Repeat by holding for up to 10 seconds, then release and repeat.

Diaphragmatic breathing: Lie down on your back with your legs bent and both hands on your stomach's top portion. Slowly inhale and exhale through your mouth. When you take a breath in, your hands on your stomach rise, and when you take a breath out, they fall.

What are the benefits?

• Kegels and pelvic floor exercises enhance systemic circulation to the vaginal and pelvic floor, increasing sexual desire and making orgasms simpler to attain.
• You can rebuild and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles by regularly doing pelvic floor exercises, giving you better control over your urinary system and improving your sexual health.

What are the risks?

• Some people believe that increasing the number of repetitions and frequency of workouts would help. Over-exercising, on the other hand, might result in muscular fatigue and increased urine leakage.
• It's critical not to overdo these workouts. You can strain your pelvic floor muscles, resulting in poor outcomes. If you work with a pelvic floor physical therapist, you might be able to execute these exercises correctly.
• If you experience any pain in your abdominal region or back while performing these exercises, you are most likely doing them incorrectly. When doing these exercises, take a deep breath and relax your body. Make sure that your stomach, thighs, buttock, and chest muscles aren't tight.
