Description
Kegel balls: These are two vaginal balls that are especially suitable for postpartum uterine recovery, treatments to relieve and prevent incontinence, and to strengthen the pelvic floor—helping you have better and more satisfying sex. The Kegel ball has an egg-like shape to make it easier to insert and take out.
CAUSES OF WEAK PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES
Your pelvic floor can get worse due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, impact sports, chronic coughing, and so on.
-
Pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period : These are the main risk factors that make a woman more likely to develop a pelvic floor functional problem. During pregnancy, the tissue is overstressed because of the weight of the uterus.
During childbirth, the condition gets worse when the baby has a high birth weight—meaning a larger, more pronounced head circumference if an episiotomy has to be done. With C-section births, the pelvic floor can also weaken.
If, after giving birth, the weakened muscles aren’t trained properly, doing abdominal exercises too soon or being too aggressive with workouts can make the pelvic floor muscles even weaker.
-
Menopause: The passing of time and the hormonal changes during menopause can lead to a loss of flexibility in the pelvic floor and make the tissue weaker.
-
Impact sports : Sports like spinning, aerobics, and jogging, which increase pressure inside the abdomen, can even cause a loss of the pelvic floor in very young women.
-
Genetic inheritance: Two out of ten women have a congenital weakness of the pelvic floor muscles.
-
Everyday habits : Holding in urine for a long time or wearing very tight clothes.
-
Other causes : Obesity, constipation, chronic coughing, and stress.
