Before, during and after pregnancy, training the perineum is essential. Discover products and treatments to maintain your pelvic floor.
If we talk about it most often during and after pregnancy, the perineum is an essential muscle at all stages of life, for both women and men. It is particularly he who supports the genitals and prevents urinary leakage. It is therefore important to ensure that it is properly muscled during and after pregnancy, but also before! There are many solutions for this, such as doing the exercises of Kegel (contraction and relaxation of the perineum). Of the tools can also help you, such as the gym ball and the ring if you are a Pilates fan, but also intravaginal devices, and these are numerous. First of all, there are geisha balls and vaginal cones which will allow you to work the perineum by trying to retain them inside the vagina. They are often marketed in batches, and each at a different weight. Thus, we start with the lightest and, as we progress, we increase the weight. Then come the perineal probes which allow you to perform exercises with the help of an application. For all intravaginal devices, remember to clean them with soap and water after each use. Finally, during and after pregnancy, we can massage the perineum several times a week with products specially designed to prepare him for childbirth.

It is also advisable to always seek the advice of a caregiver before using them.
