WHEN DO YOU NEED LADYSYSTEM?The most common causes of pelvic floor weakness are described below. If one or more of these applies to you, then it is important to ensure that you start a programme of pelvic floor recovery using LadySystem, without delay:
PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH
This is the single most common cause of damage to the pelvic floor muscles. During pregnancy, the growing weight of your baby places an increasing burden on your pelvic floor. This reaches a peak during the birth itself, when the muscles have to stretch very substantially to allow your baby to pass through the birth canal. If your baby is large or heavy, or you have a multiple birth, the strain on your pelvic floor is even greater. Episiotomy is another risk factor. Sometimes, the effects of the weakening do not become apparent for some months or even years. Therefore, it is important to make pelvic floor rehabilitation a routine part of your post-natal recovery programme, even if you don’t have any obvious symptoms at the time.
POST PARTUM EXERCISES
Many women like to start a programme of exercises after giving birth, in order to recover their figure and their fitness. However, these exercises can put extra pressure on your pelvic floor, and if it is already weak, then they could even make things worse. Therefore, activities such as running, jumping, abdominal exercises, or lifting weights should be avoided until you are sure that you have restored your pelvic floor strength and tone using
LadySystem.
INHERITED PROBLEMS
Almost two in ten women have a naturally weak pelvic floor even before having any children. Therefore, it is important to deal with this before any other factors such as pregnancy can start to aggravate the problem further.
SPORT
Sports which involve jumping, high impact, and running, increase the intra-abdominal pressure and often deteriorate pelvic floor muscle tone. One study showed that among young and fit female athletes, six out of ten of them are affected by stress incontinence during their sporting activities. It is essential to ensure that you have a strong pelvic floor before you participate in these types of activities.
MENOPAUSE AND AGING
The hormonal changes during the menopause can cause the pelvic floor muscles to lose their elasticity, and stress incontinence and other symptoms are frequently the result. Making sure that your pelvic floor is well-toned using
LadySystem will minimise or resolve these problems at this often difficult time of a woman’s life.
OTHER CAUSES
Retaining urine for long periods, excess consumption of some beverages (tea, coffee, cola), tight clothes, obesity, and constipation can all lead to deterioration of the pelvic floor muscles.
The pelvic floor muscles play an important role in your body and therefore it is important to keep them fit and healthy at all times, and especially if any of the above circumstances applies to you. LadySystem is a simple and ideal way of doing this as part of your everyday personal routine.
