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.
