Probably many women have heard how effective Kegel exercises are when lowering the uterus. But does everyone know how they work when they are appropriate and, in general, what kind of ailment is it that they are able to rid of?
The disease and its causes
The uterus and the walls of the vagina are lowered due to a significant weakening of the muscles of the
pelvic floor. This leads to a change in the normal physiological location of organs such as the uterus,
rectum and bladder. In addition, the disease entails a violation of their functions. In order to prevent this from happening, it is advised to do Kegel exercises when lowering the uterus.
The degree of the disease is completely different. Depending on her, a woman may not notice pelvic disorders at all, but may experience inconvenience and even pain during intercourse, and suffer from urinary incontinence. In especially severe cases, the uterus almost falls out of the vagina. In some situations, you even have to correct it yourself before the start of sexual intercourse. This is a very difficult stage of the disease. Kegel exercises with the prolapse of the uterus in this case will not help. Here, the problem can be eliminated only by surgical intervention.
Causes of uterine prolapse are most often associated with labor. Numerous or prolonged, severe or traumatic births can provoke this pathology. The birth of a large child can also lead to weakening of the pelvic floor muscles. In addition, chronic respiratory diseases, connective tissue pathologies, and even obesity can affect uterine prolapse. Therefore, if you have one or more of the above problems, it is advisable to perform a set of Kegel exercises just for prevention, without waiting for the deterioration of your female health.
The essence of Kegel exercises
The main advantage of this treatment is that Kegel exercises when lowering the uterus can be done in different places and at different times. They don’t have to look for the right moment. You can do gymnastics while sitting at work, reading a book, walking in the park or doing other personal things.
Interestingly, Arnold Kegel developed his technique only so that pregnant women could cope with urinary incontinence. Subsequently, it turned out that with the help of his exercises it is possible to return the descended uterus to its original position, strengthen the pelvic floor muscles before childbirth and improve their intimate relationships. The latter fact is due to vaginal control of the muscles of the vagina and narrowing of the channel.
The technique includes three stages. The first one is slow compression. It represents a gradual and smooth contraction of the muscles of the vagina. At the same time, they need to be kept compressed for several seconds, and only then relax. At the second stage of the technique, it is necessary to perform sharp contractions and muscle relaxation. The faster you do it, the better. The third stage is pushing. You need to push as you do during bowel movements or childbirth.
For best results, it’s important to know how to do the skittle exercises. You should start with ten exercises for each stage in five approaches. Then every week you should add another 5 for each stage. Continue to increase the number of exercises until their number reaches 150 per day, and then maintain at this level.
