Patient's question:
I am a woman who has given birth. Due to frequent sexual activity during this period, I feel a bit loose down there. For the sake of a happy family, I want to do some exercises to restore it. Can I do kegel exercises myself?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the specified requirements followed:---
Performing the activity yourself: Lie flat on your back with your legs tucked close to the edge of the bed, placing your buttocks against the edge. Keep your legs straight and lifted off the ground, without touching the floor. Grasp the edge of the bed with both hands to prevent sliding. Close your legs and slowly raise them upward, bringing your upper body closer to them, keeping your knees straight. When your legs are raised above your torso, use your hands to hold them, bringing them closer to your abdomen while keeping your knees straight. Then, slowly lower them back down, returning your legs to their original position. This exercise requires consistency.
2. Holding back urine: During urination, consciously hold back urine for a few seconds, interrupting the flow, and then pause before resuming urination. Repeat this process. With consistent practice over time, this can significantly improve the tension of the muscles around the vagina.
