Bladder or bowel control problems (known as incontinence) affect nearly one in five Australians (and the figures for women are even higher, with one in three women who have ever had a baby affected).
The Jean Hailes Foundation for Women's Health has developed a Pelvic Floor Exercise podcast to assist women to remember to do their pelvic floor exercises regularly.
Strengthening the pelvic floor can help improve control over bladder and bowel function, reduce internal organs from sagging, help recovery from surgery and childbirth, increase sexual sensation and improve overall social confidence and quality of life.
It’s easy to see the benefits of doing regular pelvic floor exercises, but it can be difficult to remember to do them.
The Pelvic Floor Exercise podcast is new way for the many women who have gone through pregnancy, childbirth and/or menopause and have experienced the distressing effects of incontinence on self esteem, body image, morale, sexuality and overall quality of life, to work on their pelvic floor.
For a discreet workout, the podcast can be downloaded to an mp3 player and inserted every 10 songs or so.
There is further information on bladder and bowel health on our website, including more about pelvic floor exercises and a bladder and bowel health quiz to test women’s knowledge on this often ‘unspoken about’ condition. |
