pelvic floor muscles - #17601

Anonymously

After my second pregnancy, I started noticing a weird heaviness in my lower abdomen, especially when standing for long hours. At first, I thought it was just normal post-pregnancy weakness, but then I realized I also had occasional urine leaks when coughing or sneezing. I didn’t really talk about it to anyone because I thought it might go away on its own, but it hasn’t. Recently, I even felt some discomfort in my lower back, and I started wondering if my pelvic floor muscles are weak. I went to a gynecologist, and she confirmed that my pelvic floor muscles are not as strong as they should be. She suggested Kegel exercises and said that if things don’t improve, there are medical treatments available. But I don’t want to depend on medical procedures if I can fix this naturally. That’s why I started looking into Ayurveda. Does Ayurveda have specific treatments for strengthening pelvic floor muscles? Are there herbal remedies or external therapies that can help tone and tighten the muscles naturally? I read that oil massages and certain herbal formulations in Ayurveda help with muscle strengthening, but do they actually work for pelvic floor muscles? Also, I feel like my digestion has been sluggish ever since childbirth. I get constipated often, and I read that straining during bowel movements can further weaken pelvic floor muscles. Could Ayurveda help with both digestion and muscle recovery at the same time? And are there any specific yoga asanas that can help with pelvic floor muscles strengthening? If anyone here has improved their pelvic floor muscles with Ayurveda, how long did it take to see results? Did you notice an actual difference, or was it just a temporary improvement? I really want to avoid medical interventions, so I hope Ayurveda has a long-term solution.

Weak pelvic floor muscles after childbirth are common and can be effectively managed with Ayurveda. Ayurveda recommends strengthening the muscles naturally through a combination of internal and external therapies. Herbal formulations like Ashwagandha and Shatavari help nourish and tone muscles, while Dashmoolarishta supports postpartum recovery. Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame or Bala oil can improve circulation and muscle strength. To address both digestion and muscle recovery, Ayurveda suggests eating fiber-rich, warm, and easily digestible foods while avoiding excessive straining. Triphala churna can help regulate bowel movements without causing stress on the pelvic floor. Yoga plays a vital role, and asanas like Malasana, Viparita Karani, and Mula Bandha (pelvic floor contractions) can effectively strengthen the muscles over time. Consistency is key, and improvements are usually noticeable within a few months with regular practice. Natural healing takes patience, but Ayurveda offers a holistic approach that supports long-term recovery without invasive treatments.
