FAQ'S
What is your Pelvic Floor?
Your pelvic floor is a group of 4 muscles that lie deep within your pelvis. Your pelvic floor muscles help to close off your urethra (where urine comes out), your vagina and your anus. The muscles wrap around these 3 openings helping to control them. They also help to keep your pelvic organs lifted inside and enhance sexual sensation by pumping blood to your clitoris. They also have a huge role during labour to help guide your baby into your birth canal which can make your labour faster and easier. Who wouldn't want that!
Where are your pelvic floor muscles?
Your pelvic floor muscles attach at your pubic bone at the front and your tail bone at the back. Running like a sling or hammock between your legs. As your muscles contract (squeezing them) they shorten which gives a closing and lifting sensation around the opening of your vagina.
Are pelvic floor muscles the same as kegels?
Yes essentially they are the same thing. Although different countries use the different terminology. Dr Arnold Kegel back in the 1940's was an American gynaecologist who first used the term "Kegel" to describe and research pelvic floor exercises as a non surgical approach to pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. Here in Australia we use the term pelvic floor muscles and pelvic floor exercises.
What is pelvic floor dysfunction?
Simply put pelvic floor dysfunction is the inability to control your pelvic floor muscles. Therefore they aren't able to fulfil their role within the pelvis. This is predominantly when you might notice some leakage, back pain, unstable in your pelvis, pain with sex, avoiding of exercise or jumping for fear of wetting yourself.
What do Pelvic FLoor exercises do?
Pelvic floor exercises will allow you to find your muscles, strengthen them and allow you to relax them as well. This can be done in different ways eg endurance, fast short exercises, control exercises which is a combination of both, then eventually having your muscles contract while you do other things eg squatting, lifting baby etc.
Will Pelvic Floor exercise help with prolapse?
Yes! As the muscle help to lift the pelvic organs by learning to activate your pelvic floor muscles and building the endurance strength you can help reduce your prolapse and reduce your symptoms of prolapse. Eg leakage/incontinence.
Are pelvic floor exercises important?
Absolutely yes! Pelvic Floor muscles are one of the most important muscles in the body that you can strengthen and have working for you for the rest of your life! They help you with so many things and often without you realising it until there is a problem. Eg they keep your pelvic organs lifted but you may not know that until you have a weakness after having a baby and end up with a prolapse and leakage. So why wouldn't you want to do simple pelvic floor exercises, to keep them strong and functioning so you live a happy and confident life.
