The common worries of postpartum mothers include: neck pain, waist pain, back pain, urine leakage, uterine prolapse... They think this is a natural aging phenomenon. Or blame it on "not sitting properly during confinement". In fact, these symptoms are related to female pelvic floor muscle disorders.
Relaxation of female pelvic floor muscles can lead to stress urinary incontinence. For example, when sneezing, laughing, or exercising (such as running, skipping), the abdominal pressure rises instantly, and the pelvic floor muscles weaken, making it impossible to resist instantly. Pressure action. Pelvic floor muscle relaxation also affects the quality of sexual life. There are more than 40 types of muscles related to pelvic movements, including abdominal muscles, back muscles, psoas muscles, gluteal muscles, thigh muscles and pelvic floor muscles. In addition to causing abnormalities in surrounding tissues and organs, pelvic problems can also have a significant impact on the muscles, posture, and visceral functions of the whole body. The vertebrae of the human body are connected to the pelvis. Once the pelvis is distorted, the vertebrae will also be distorted, which will compress the nerves and cause various disorders. The sciatic nerve passes through the pelvis. If the pelvis is tilted, the sciatic nerve is compressed and may even cause pain in the lower body. The tilt of the pelvis causes the spine to be more curved, causing overuse of the muscles in the shoulders and waist, causing stiffness and pain, poor blood circulation, reduced oxygen and nutrient transport efficiency, reduced metabolism, difficulty in blood flow to the peripheral parts, and cold legs and feet. and other symptoms. Many women suffer from low back pain, sciatica pain, shoulder and back pain, and other visceral, reproductive and urinary system diseases. The root cause is pelvic tilt or pelvic floor muscle tissue relaxation.
At present, our country lacks professional medical nurses to provide science popularization guidance, lacks relevant professional books and equipment, and relevant departments do not pay much attention to the problem of female pelvic floor muscle disorders. Popular education is not enough, and science popularization of postpartum women They seem to pay more attention to breastfeeding, beauty and beauty, etc. There is a very lack of popular science about women's pelvic floor. They have no awareness of the need for medical examinations, and they don't even know where to go for medical treatment.
In developed countries such as Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, the problem of female pelvic floor dysfunction has been paid attention to as early as 20 or 30 years ago. Taking France as an example, the government encourages mothers to practice pelvic floor dysfunction at home starting one to two weeks after delivery. Do "pelvic floor functional exercises". 42 days after delivery, the government will provide mothers with a free course of rehabilitation training (including pelvic floor muscle exercises, biofeedback therapy, electrical stimulation therapy, etc.), thus greatly reducing pelvic floor dysfunction such as pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. occurrence of disease. At the same time, it awakens the nerves and muscles of the pelvic floor to better restore the vagina to a tight state, thereby improving the quality of sexual life.
A large amount of literature has shown that although the damage to female pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy and childbirth is inevitable, the impact of pelvic floor damage is reversible. Timely rehabilitation of pelvic floor function after childbirth will not have a significant impact on future sexual life and body. But if you don’t pay attention to pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises, it is very stupid and irresponsible to give up on yourself prematurely.
