pelvic floor muscles - #17601
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.
