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.
