What does pelvic floor therapy do?

Many pregnant women have finally survived ten months of pregnancy and become official mothers, but they still cannot get rid of the pain.

Female pregnancy, childbirth, difficult labor, pelvic tumors, uterine and vaginal surgery, and loss of ovarian function after menopause may all cause damage to the pelvic floor muscle nerves and lead to pelvic floor dysfunction.

A cough or a laugh will cause urine to overflow; when getting up in the middle of the night to urinate, the moment you stand up, you pee in your pants; for fear of embarrassing yourself in public, you have to wear a sanitary napkin or diapers; your married life is no longer harmonious, and you want to kick your husband off the bed; what is even more embarrassing is that you always feel like something is falling out from below.

During pregnancy, the pelvic floor becomes loose under the action of progesterone. As the fetus grows, the fetal position moves downward, and the pelvic floor is squeezed more and more. After delivery, as the fetus is delivered, some ligaments rupture and the elasticity of the "spring bed" decreases, making it unable to fix the organs in their normal position, resulting in functional disorders. Therefore, all postpartum mothers need to have a pelvic floor function assessment.
