Involuntary urination during pregnancy and after childbirth.

The secret of every third

According to studies * , 36% of women experience involuntary urination during pregnancy and after childbirth. But these nine months are one of the most beautiful periods in a woman’s life. How to make them more comfortable?

What is the reason?

During pregnancy and after childbirth, the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder and regulate urination can weaken due to hormonal changes, fetal pressure, and stress when the baby is born. Due to the loss of elasticity, even laughter and coughing can cause the release of urine. Needless to say, situations when you need to raise the baby! And if women know about many of the difficulties of the postpartum period in advance, then rarely anyone is ready for such a surprise. As a result, young mothers experience fear, embarrassment, confusion, and do not understand at all what to do. And this is a very common phenomenon: every third woman between the ages of 25 and 70 has ever experienced such problems *.

Do not despair!

Special Kegel exercises will help restore weakened pelvic floor muscles – such a workout takes only a few minutes and is completely invisible to others.

Kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles

First, try to stop the flow of urine while urinating. Muscles that you feel and need to train. Tighten them, count to 5. Perform 20 contractions and relaxations. There should be at least 3-5 such approaches per day. It will take an average of 8-12 weeks of regular exercise to regain urinary control.

By the way, such a charge has another nice bonus – strong pelvic muscles make it possible to make the sensations during sex more vivid. And for a feeling of absolute confidence and comfort right now, use special TENA Lady pads.
