Obesity, weight gain all play a part to pelvic floor issues

Regardless of age anyone carrying extra weight around the abdomen is a candidate for pelvic floor issues if it isn't addressed properly.

When an excess of BMI is carried around the abdominal area, it continues to put pressure on internal organs such as the bladder, bowel, urethra. With this pressure it contributes to incontinence issues.

As a general rule, before new mums return to exercise, they should wait 6-8 weeks following a natural birth, and somewhere between 8-12 weeks after a c-section. Your Doctor signs you off to exercise, so you’re best to check with them first.

If you haven’t read a previous article I wrote on “5 FAQs on c-sections”, I’d suggest you have a read through that first, to familiarise yourself with what’s involved in a c-section procedure and then return to this article.

What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
Pelvic Organ Prolapse, often abbreviated to POP can occur when a pelvic organ, shifts in a downward direction. There are several organs in the pelvic cavity eg uterus, bladder, vagina, urethra and rectum. If one of these organs shift out of their normal position, they often bulge through the vaginal canal. This downward displacement of organs and the tissues attached to them is called “pelvic organ prolapse” or POP for short.

SMART BALLS FOR KEGELS


KEYGAL SMART BALLS STOCKING FILLERS JUST FOR HER

50  shades of lilac! Forget Gray! Lilac is the new Gray!

What is Keygal Smart Tone’n'Control?
Keygal Smart Tone ‘n’ Control is a women’s health product ergomically shaped to be worn inside the vagina to help tone and control the pelvic floor muscles.

Many women after pregnancy and childbirth, pelvic operation or over-exertion find that they lose control over their bladder and have little feeling during sex. Many find it difficult or impossible to reach an orgasm.

Keygal Smart Tone ‘n’ Control are weighted balls made from body friendly medical grade silicone and are recommended by midwives, phyiotherapists and doctors to encourage women to work the pelvic floor naturally.

Keygal Smart Tone ‘n’ Control is smart because of its ideal weight which when inserted it  rests on the PC (Pubococcygeus) muscles or more commonly known as the ‘love muscles’. The Keygal Smart Tone ‘n’ Control is able to stimulate the muscles and trains the women to be able to spontaneously contract. This contraction leads to muscle training and muscle stimulation.
For more indepth medical information about the pelvic floor please go to our main website http://www.candgmedicare.com where you will find information and free downloads to help you with your bladder/pelvic floor routine. Medical staff please feel free to enquire about our full range of pessaries.

What’s the difference between KeyGal Medic Tone’n'Control and KeyGal Smart Tone’n'Control?

KeyGal Medic is a medical device which has gone through clinical studies, the most recent are with Dr Bruce Crawford a lead gynaecologist who founded the pfilates program. There is another clinical study going on now at Cardiff University Hospital. KeyGal Medic ideally should be used for those who have very little or weak pelvic floor muscle control. KeyGal Medic is the initial training aid which is lighter and smaller than the KeyGal Smart Tone ‘n’ Control. Start training and finding the pelvic floor muscles with the KeyGal Medic then work up to the KeyGal Smart Tone ‘n’ Control as the muscles get stronger.

C&G Medicare Ltd based in the UK offer full support and training with their products, so you never have to feel that after you buy are products you are left to get on with it. We are here to help you every step of the way.

How should I clean my KeyGal products?

You can wash in perfume free soap and warm water, we also recommend using KeyGal Clean to clean and protect your product.  KeyGal Clean is safe to use on skin.
