What kind of exercise should I do for postpartum urinary incontinence? Do I need to repair my pelvic floor muscles for postpartum urinary incontinence?

Postpartum urinary incontinence is very common in mothers who have just given birth. Many mothers will do exercise to correct this situation at this time, but more mothers are not sure what kind of exercise to do to correct it. So let's find out what kind of exercise to do for postpartum urinary incontinence? Do you need to repair the pelvic floor muscles for postpartum urinary incontinence?

Patients with postpartum urinary incontinence can use pelvic floor muscle training to improve the tension of the pelvic floor muscles and ultimately achieve the purpose of improving symptoms. The method of pelvic floor muscle training is relatively simple. The contraction of the pelvic floor muscles is induced by contracting the anus. The anus can be contracted and maintained for about 5 seconds. If it is done well, not only the muscles around the anus, but also the vagina and inner thigh muscles will feel tense. Maintain for about 5 seconds, then relax for 5 seconds, and repeat it a second time. In this way, the frequency of contraction for 5 seconds and relaxation for 5 seconds is continued. Do 20-30 times each time as a group. It is recommended that general patients exercise 5-8 groups a day, and they need to persist in exercising. Exercise for at least 2-3 months, and you will see the effect. Through continuous exercise, the tension of the pelvic floor muscles can be increased, thereby increasing the support capacity of the urethra, and ultimately improving the patient's urinary control and improving symptoms. This is the exercise method of pelvic floor muscle training.

1. Yoga exercise repair method. Yoga is a favorite sport for many women. Yoga also has a good effect on repairing pelvic floor muscles. Mothers who practice yoga can lie flat on the bed or yoga mat. First, take a deep breath and put your hands on your abdomen. At the same time, cooperate with the muscle contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. After exhaling, relax and then relax the pelvic muscles. This action can be done 3-5 times a day.

2. Professional pelvic floor muscle repair. Professional pelvic floor muscle repair is aimed at some pregnant women with severe pelvic floor muscle damage. If the severely damaged pelvic floor muscles are repaired through movement training, the effect is generally not particularly obvious. In addition, the pelvic floor muscles are internal injuries, and we cannot accurately observe the recovery situation. Therefore, in order to achieve the recovery effect of the pelvic floor muscles, when you find that you have severe urinary incontinence, it is best to receive professional pelvic floor muscle repair in time, so that you can achieve more significant results. 3. Stephanie repair method. The Stephanie repair method is an exercise training method to tighten the pelvic floor muscles. Mothers who have undergone cesarean section training need to pay attention to this repair method. They need to wait until their wounds have recovered completely before they can exercise appropriately according to their actual situation. For postpartum mothers who have given birth naturally, if there is no episiotomy wound, they can do some simple movement training in moderation when they feel comfortable.

If you have urinary incontinence after giving birth to your first child, as long as women actively make adjustments and take care of themselves, it is possible that the condition will recover during the second pregnancy. Women can do pelvic floor rehabilitation after giving birth. Before doing so, they can evaluate how many courses of treatment are needed, and then do relevant examinations when they are pregnant with their second child. Within one year after a woman has given birth to her first child, it is the golden period for the pelvic floor muscles to repair. Repairing at this time can restore the pelvic floor muscles and prevent urinary incontinence. Therefore, women should seize this critical time to repair them, so as to avoid causing too much impact on themselves. Postpartum urinary incontinence can be repaired by pelvic floor muscle exercises, such as exercising the vagina, which can have a tightening effect and improve urinary incontinence. There are also anal contraction exercises, dumbbell exercises, etc. These exercises should be carried out for about 15 minutes every day, and long-term examinations are required to have obvious therapeutic effects. If a woman's urinary incontinence is more serious, she can also go to the hospital and use instruments under the guidance of a doctor to help repair the pelvic floor muscles, so that the pelvic floor muscles can quickly return to normal.

For patients with postpartum urinary incontinence, it is best not to run. Because running is an aerobic exercise, for patients with postpartum urinary incontinence, running may stimulate the condition, causing the condition to worsen, and even cause the patient's wound to worsen, which is not conducive to the patient's postpartum physical recovery. In addition to not running, patients should also pay attention to a light diet and eat more protein-rich foods, which will help the body's recovery.
