Preventing vaginal laxity starts during pregnancy

　　vaginal relaxation Don't take it seriously if the harm is great

　　After giving birth to your baby, are you embarrassed that you become cautious when sneezing or laughing because urine may leak out at any time? Married life is no longer exciting. Even if you barely have sex a few times, you will feel pain in your private parts, and you can't find the pleasure you had before? In fact, these are the real harmful effects of vaginal relaxation. Vaginal laxity is essentially a pelvic floor injury, also called pelvic floor dysfunction. Its main manifestations are:

　　①Protrusion of anterior vaginal wall: The main manifestation is stress urinary incontinence, such as cough , urine leaks out when laughing.

　　②Posterior vaginal wall bulge: The main symptoms are fecal incontinence, dry stool and inability to come out.

　　③Uterus Prolapse: The main manifestation is that the uterus loses support and prolapses into the vagina, or even falls out of the vagina. female Over the age of 40, as hormone levels decrease and the relaxation of various organs gradually accelerates, this situation will become more serious.

　　This not only affects the beauty and sexiness of women’s private parts, but also brings other embarrassing problems to their lives:

　　Quality of sexual life: Because the vagina's ability to "clench" the penis is reduced and the friction is weakened, the pleasure of both men and women is weakened or even disappeared, leaving the partner unsatisfied and reducing the quality of the couple's sexual life. It can seriously lead to psychological rejection, rejection or disgust, leading to disharmony in the couple's sexual life, frigidity, inability to reach orgasm, and painful intercourse.

　　Decreased ovarian function: Endocrine disorders, emotional instability, irritability, skin Roughness and relaxation, increased wrinkles, and spots appear.

　　Gynecology disease：Because a loose vagina hides many folds, bacteria, toxins, dead skin cells, and impregnated menstrual blood remain in the folds for many years, causing vaginal itching, leucorrhea with a peculiar smell, yellowing, and fishy odor, and Vaginitis recurring attacks, Cervicitis、cervical erosion It cannot be cured after long-term treatment.

　　Doing homework before and after childbirth can prevent and restore vaginal relaxation

　　“Why are athletes’ muscles so developed? This is because they exercise regularly, and women's pelvic floor muscles can also improve their looseness through reasonable exercise. ”As long as women do their "homework" before and after childbirth, everything is recoverable.

　　Prenatal homework: Women can start to do pelvic floor function exercises around 20 weeks (4 months) of pregnancy. If you grasp this period well, it will not only prevent vaginal laxity, but also help the fetal head rotate during delivery, and the incidence of breech presentation will also be reduced accordingly. The main method is to do anal retraction exercises.

　　Anal tightening exercise (kegel exercise): Kegel exercise itself is also called "sexual muscle exercise". This exercise can improve the quality of women's sexual life. As a female fitness exercise, it has gradually become popular in Europe and the United States in recent years. It means that the patient consciously performs voluntary contraction exercises on the pelvic floor muscle groups, mainly the pubic and coccygeal muscles (i.e., the levator ani muscles), to tighten the anus by increasing the supporting tension of the pelvic floor. Steps: Lift the anus upward, then relax, then lift it up again, lift and loosen again, repeat, tightening for no less than 3 seconds each time. This kind of pelvic floor muscle exercise can be carried out individually according to your own situation. There are no time and frequency requirements, you can do it whenever you think of it.

　　Postpartum homework: Pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises can be started after 42 days postpartum. Kegel exercises can regulate the vaginal contraction ability, tightness and strength. "But at this time, kegel exercises alone are not enough. Electric stimulation and biofeedback are also needed." ”.

　　①Electrical stimulation: Electrical stimulation treats pelvic floor dysfunction by improving the function of the urethral sphincter, levator ani muscle and external anal sphincter to achieve the therapeutic purpose. It can strengthen the perineum, inhibit excessive bladder activity, and increase the closing pressure of the urethra. It stimulates the contraction of the external urethral sphincter, further enhances the contraction of the urethral sphincter through the neural circuit, and enhances the ability to control urine. It also stimulates nerves and muscles, excites the sympathetic pathway and inhibits the parasympathetic pathway through the formation of impulses, inhibits bladder contraction, and reduces bladder contractility.

　　②Biofeedback: This is also an active pelvic floor rehabilitation method, used to guide patients to correctly contract the pelvic floor muscles and voluntarily inhibit abnormal contraction of the bladder detrusor. With the help of an electronic biofeedback therapy device placed in the vagina or rectum, the electromyographic activity of the pelvic floor muscles can be monitored, as well as the activity of the abdominal muscles and detrusor muscles. The information on these muscle activities is converted into auditory and visual signals and fed back to the patient, guiding the patient to perform correct and autonomous pelvic floor muscle training and forming conditioned reflexes.

　    Electrical stimulation and biofeedback treatment can also be done during pregnancy, but many mothers are worried about the impact on the fetus. In fact, there is no need to worry. The biggest advantage of these three methods is that they have no side effects. Moreover, these standardized treatments and daily exercises can greatly improve the tension of pelvic muscles and muscles around the vagina, help restore vaginal elasticity, and help sexual life. Of course, in addition to restorative exercise, postpartum mothers should also ensure the intake of necessary nutrients, such as collagen, to help the pelvic floor muscles recover better.
