Benefits Of Pelvic Floor Exercises

By:


Many women can suffer embarrassing "pelvic floor" problems which often occur when the pelvic floor muscles - those which hold the bladder, intestine and urethra in place - weaken due to childbirth, pelvic surgery or just simple ageing.

Different types of pelvic muscle dysfunction can arise:
a.Stress incontinence "" wherein a "stress" to the pelvic region, such as laughing, coughing, sneezing, jumping or running, can lead to urine leaks.
b.Urge incontinence "" when an overactive bladder contracts without warning and causes urinary leakage.
c.Mixed incontinence "" a combination of the above.

However, help is at hand. Women do not have to suffer these problems forever if they perform pelvic floor exercises. These were first devised by Arnold Kegel in the 1940s "" Kegel Exercises is another term. The easiest way to locate the pelvic floor muscles is if you try to stop urine, mid-flow"as you tighten these muscles, you are exercising them.

A lot of women, though, can find performing these exercises somewhat difficult, do them incorrectly, or cannot manage them at all, and that is where pelvic toners are exceptionally useful. Vast improvements in technology mean that you have the option to choose from wireless operated, electronic toners, to resistance exercisers.
Examples include:
Wireless operated: The Athenafem
Resistance Trainers: Kegel Pelvic Toner

These exercisers are simple to use when inserted into the vagina, and if used regularly (around 10-15 minutes each day) are sure to improve your quality of life in many ways. Not only might you avoid surgery to correct the problems, you will save money on expensive incontinence products.

By tightening the pelvic floor, you can alleviate the symptoms of incontinence, tighten the vaginal embrace, and enjoy a better sex life "" restoring this muscle tone can have a major impact on sexual satisfaction for both partners: 50% of pelvic toner users noticed an improvement in their vaginal embrace leading to a more satisfying sexual experience according to a UK User Survey.

So regain control of your bladder - and your life - and get toning your pelvic floor.
