TMI: incontinence

As of the beginning of this year I had a major problem holding my pee.

I had to run (and by that I mean RUN) to the bathroom every 30min or my urine would just flow. Lots of times I made it almost and my urine started dripping as I took my clothes off. It was a very stressful time as I would always wonder whether I would be able to get to a bathroom on time. At work, on small trips in the car, bus etc. As you can imagine it was very stressful...

I read a lot about SUI (behold, I am 43 years old and gave birth to two children) which starts to occur to a lot of women but at the same time didn't want to live like this for another 40 years. So I started wondering about changes in my life during this time :I was learning for exams, I rode my Hometrainer a lot as it was winter, I drank a lot of water.

I stopped the Hometrainer and started pelvic exercises and it got slightly better. But it is literally gone since I finished my exams! I started to bike again and it seems it is not the main reason but it was stress-related.

I take this as an important lesson to the fact, that my body is capable of doing everything but not to take its power for granted.

Ps: I still do pelvic exercises sometimes - doesn't cost and doesn't hurt.

POSTNATAL PILATES

To speak about the postnatal period, we must first understand the transformation of the abdominal muscles during pregnancy. To accommodate the growth of the uterus, a stretching of the abdominal muscles takes place, that is, a separation of the bundle of the rectus abdominis muscle. Some authors consider normal a two to three finger width distension of the muscle.

An anteversion occurs on the…

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Women are always told to do their pelvic floor exercises religiously.

However, when I ask my female patients if they do their pelvic floor exercises, most have heard that they should be doing them, but they are unsure whether they are doing them correctly or would like more information how to do them.

When I ask my male patients, they are far less informed about the pelvic floor, even though it is very important for them too.

So what is the pelvic floor and what does it do?

The pelvic floor is a muscle that forms a broad sling in your pelvis.

The function of the pelvic floor muscles are:

· To support the pelvic organs (eg. Bladder, uterus, rectum)

· To control the outlets ie. Urethra, vagina, anus.

· Sexual function

Our pelvic floor muscles can become weaker due to lack of exercise, the menopause, as a result of chronic constipation or a chronic cough, being overweight, persistent heavy lifting, pregnancy and childbirth.

Weak muscles give you less control and you may leak urine (urinary incontinence) especially with exercise or when you cough, sneeze or laugh. It can also give you reduced sensitivity during sex or may contribute to difficulty controlling wind and bowel function.

Pelvic floor exercises can improve this condition. Like any other muscles in the body, the more you use and exercise them, the stronger the pelvic floor will be.

A physiotherapist can teach you how to activate your pelvic floor correctly, and teach you a program that builds endurance of the muscle and helps them react more quickly when, for example, you sneeze or cough. They can also provide tips and advice on lifestyle changes that will help with the condition.

So, women AND men - you don’t have to accept problems arising from the issues with weakened pelvic floor muscles!!
