If you cannot find your pelvic floor muscles accurately, the following methods can help you:

When urinating, it stops abruptly in the middle of urination. At this time, you will feel the muscles of the pelvic floor contracting. These contracted muscles are the pelvic floor muscles.

2. Put your fingers into the vagina

Gently put your fingers into the vagina, and then "wrap" your fingers firmly. If your fingers feel the muscles around the vagina contract, then this part of the muscle is the pelvic floor muscle.

3. Biofeedback therapy

When performing biofeedback therapy, the pelvic floor muscle movement can be converted into a visual signal and fed back to the exerciser, which can help the exerciser find the pelvic floor muscles accurately and exercise the pelvic floor muscles better.

Fourth, how to exercise pelvic floor muscles

Electrical stimulation

Electrical stimulation is a passive way of pelvic floor muscle exercise. It does not require the subjective participation of the exerciser. It eliminates the negative influence caused by the exerciser’s own mistakes during exercise. It can promote the blood circulation of the pelvic floor muscles, reshape the nerve pathways, and enhance muscle strength. .

Biofeedback

For women who cannot accurately find the pelvic floor muscles, with the aid of biofeedback, they can learn the correct pelvic floor muscle contraction method, autonomously control the contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscle and the coordination of contraction, and enhance the pelvic floor muscle strength.

Kegel movement

1. Contract the pelvic floor muscles for 2-3 seconds and relax for 5-10 seconds. Repeat this process, each time 20-30 times as a group, and each exercise more than three groups.

2. With the gradual training, you can increase the contraction time to 5-10 seconds and the relaxation time to 5-10 seconds. Repeat this exercise.

Vagina dumbbell

Put the vagina dumbbell into the position 2cm away from the vaginal opening, adapt to maintain, and then try to sit, walk, climb stairs and other ways to exercise, 15-20 minutes each time.

Kegel exercises and vaginal dumbbells are common pelvic floor muscle exercises at home, and exercisers can exercise pelvic floor muscles at home. When exercising at home, there is no need to deliberately set the time. It can be done in the morning, noon, and evening. It is 15-20 minutes each time. It is important to keep exercising.

2. Exercise should be done step by step. At the beginning of exercise, pay attention to exercise intensity to avoid muscle fatigue.

3. During the training process, if the waist muscles feel sore, it means that the muscles are wrong. You should stop exercising and find the pelvic floor muscles again.

4. Pelvic floor muscle exercises may be difficult to see obvious results in a short period of time, and you will have unexpected gains if you stick to it.
