Kegel balls: These are two vaginal balls particularly suitable for postpartum uterine involution, treatments for relieving and preventing incontinence, and strengthening the pelvic floor, contributing to better and more satisfying sexual relationships. The Kegel ball has an egg-shaped form to facilitate both insertion and removal.
CAUSES OF PELVIC FLOOR WEAKNESS
The pelvic floor can deteriorate due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, strenuous sports, chronic cough, etc.
-
Pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period : These are the main risk factors that predispose a woman to pelvic floor dysfunction. During pregnancy, this is due to the weight of the uterus, which puts strain on the tissue.
During childbirth, the condition worsens due to the baby's passage through the vagina, particularly if the baby is very heavy or has a significantly enlarged head circumference, potentially requiring an episiotomy. A weakening of the pelvic floor can also occur after cesarean sections.
If the weakened muscles are not properly trained in the period after childbirth, prematurely performing abdominal exercises or overly aggressive gymnastic exercises can exacerbate the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.
-
Menopause: The passage of time and the hormonal changes during menopause can lead to a loss of flexibility in the pelvic floor and promote tissue weakening.
-
Impact sports : Sports such as spinning, aerobics and jogging, which increase intra-abdominal pressure, can lead to a loss of pelvic floor strength, even in very young women.
-
Genetic inheritance: Two out of ten women have a congenital weakness of the pelvic floor muscles.
-
Everyday habits : Holding urine for a long time or wearing very tight clothing.
-
Other causes : obesity, constipation, chronic cough and stress.
