I can't stop peeing!
in Health ·
Long story short:
Kegel exercises. They’re basically meant to strengthen those bladder muscles so you can actually control when you go. The whole point is to stop accidental leaks and beef up a weak pelvic floor. I guess that's the idea, anyway.
Maybe give me a bit more detail. Check out http://www.healthcenter.com. It’s probably worth a look, I guess.:
Stop-and-go.
Try this: when you're peeing, try stopping and starting the flow about four or five times. Just, I guess, make sure you're actually using your pelvic floor muscles for this beginner stuff. Don't go overdoing it by tensing up your hips or your lower abs. That probably won't help much.
2. Repetition
Just squeeze and release those pelvic floor muscles. Start with maybe ten reps, four times a day, then slowly work your way up to fifty reps, four times a day. I guess you could even do this while watching TV or reading a book. It’s pretty easy to sneak in.
3. Holding back
Squeeze those pelvic floor muscles and hold them while you count to five. Then let go. Do that ten times. Maybe try holding it longer as you get used to it.
4. Lift
This exercise takes some serious focus, but man, the results are worth it. Think of your vaginal canal like a stack of rings. The whole point here is to squeeze them one by one, starting from the bottom and working your way up—sort of like riding an elevator from the lobby to the penthouse. Start slow. Squeeze the very bottom part, hold it for a second, then move up to the next ring, and the next, until you hit the top. Hold that final squeeze. Once you’re there, reverse it. Release each section one at a time, moving from top to bottom, letting everything relax after each step. When you're done, just let the whole pelvic floor area go completely limp. It works. I guess.
5. Val
Some of your pelvic floor muscles basically look like a stretched-out number 8—more like an 8 with three loops instead of two, I guess. The first loop wraps around the urethra, the second goes around the vagina, and the third circles the anus. For this Kegel exercise, you just squeeze those muscles from the first loop all the way to the last, then release them one by one. Simple enough, maybe.
6. Different body positions
Once you actually get the hang of those Kegel exercises, don't just stick to one position. It gets boring. I guess you should try switching it up—maybe try doing them while lying down, sitting, squatting, cross-legged, or even on all fours. Just experiment, I suppose.
