This weakness can lead to problems such as urinary incontinence, which can be both physically and emotionally distressing.
For women planning a pregnancy, pelvic floor training is especially valuable, as a well-trained pelvic floor can better cope with the strain of pregnancy. After childbirth, training helps stabilise the pelvic floor and supports recovery.
Pelvic floor training remains important later in life as well. During menopause, hormonal changes also affect the pelvic floor. The decline in oestrogen often leads to a weakening of connective tissue and reduced muscle elasticity, increasing the risk of incontinence and other pelvic floor issues. Targeted pelvic floor training during this stage can help strengthen the muscles and regain control.
Men also benefit greatly from pelvic floor training. A weak pelvic floor can cause urinary incontinence in men, just as in women. In particular, after prostate surgery (prostatectomy), training can help improve bladder control and restore muscle control. A strong pelvic floor not only supports sexual health by improving sensitivity and control over sexual function, but also promotes general fitness and helps maintain good posture.
In summary, pelvic floor training not only helps to prevent or reduce incontinence, but also improves overall wellbeing. It is a simple and effective way to enhance quality of life for women and men of all ages. Pelvic floor training can be made even more effective and convenient by using a pelvic floor trainer such as the Alonea PelvicTool.
