Strong Body = Strong Pelvic Floor

by Chloe Godding May 21, 2021

There is no doubt that regular exercise is beneficial to both your body and mind, but have you ever considered how a stronger body can actually lead to a stronger pelvic floor?

When you move your body regularly, your blood and lymphatic fluid are circulated throughout your body. This means that your tissues can get a healthy supply of oxygen, helping your organs to function at their best, especially the heart and lungs. The same applies to your pelvic muscles meaning regular exercise can lead to a stronger pelvic floor.

Vaginal dryness - "It feels like barbed wire"

Vaginal atrophy is the thinning and drying of the vaginal walls which can lead to pain and inflammation. Atrophy occurs when the amount of estrogen in the body drops, usually after the menopause. Vaginal atrophy can cause masses of discomfort for those who suffer with it, not to mention the psychological effects of the condition too

“If your vagina falls out, don’t worry it’s like a child’s stress toy, just pop it back in”

by Julie Colan February 23, 2021

“If your vagina falls out, don’t worry it’s like a child’s stress toy, just pop it back in”

I bet you had to read that heading a few times. When this woman told me THAT THIS was what her doctor had said to her, I was shocked and very outraged.

"It’s become apparent over the last few days that I potentially have a type of prolapse happening and am generally feeling quite unwell and uncomfortable.
A call to the doctor included this comment “if your vagina falls out, don’t worry it’s like a child’s stress toy, just pop it back in”

It was meant as help..it was a lady doctor and she was really nice about it but it entered me into a rabbit hole of research and realising how common prolapses are and how little is being done about them...lots of women are just living with it. Ladies...if you take anything from this post DO YOUR PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISES EVERY DAY! RIGHT NOW..._DO THEM RIGHT NOW! ”

POP Pelvic Organ Prolapse - What you need to know

POP Pelvic Organ Prolapse - What you need to know

A prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles are weakened and the pelvic organs can bulge (prolapse) from their natural position into the vagina. Sometimes the prolapse can be so severe that it can protrude from the vagina. Personally I can’t imagine how scary this must feel to literally have your insides falling out. This is the reality for many women, though the majority will only suffer a partial prolapse.
