Exercising the pelvic floor
Posted , 6 users are following.
hello,
i had a posterior prolapse repair done in January and think my recovery is ok .However, because my operation had been brought forward I had an appointment with a hospital physio (whom I had seen once before the op) about 6 weeks later. She advised me to continue pelvic floor exercises which she explained to me. 12 weeks after the op she did an internal exam and said my pelvic floor muscles had atrophied? And to continue the exercises. When I saw her last week -18 weeks after my op I told her I was unsure that I was doing them correctly and she gave me a plastic device to insert into my vagina which would dip down as I did them. When I tried it at home it barely moved and actually pops out when I try. Now really worried that months of exercise have been done in vain and may actually have made matters worse. Any foolproof ideas.? I see electrical devices available on the internet but don't want to spend over a hundred pounds unless they definitely work. Help!

I have been doing pelvic floor exercises for years, but still am not sure if I am doing them correctly! Am looking at Utube too. Good luck!

One thing I have found useful is a kegel exercise app which reminds, and encourages duration of contraction. It also has a useful reminder notification on it too.
