1. Do you know about the female pelvic floor muscles?
The pelvic floor muscles are the most important muscle group for women, often referred to as the “spring bed.” They support and hold up pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum, and are involved in controlling urination, bowel movements, maintaining **tightness, enhancing sexual pleasure, and other physiological activities, closely related to women’s health and “sexual” well-being.

2. What diseases are included in pelvic floor dysfunction?
Pelvic floor dysfunction diseases mainly include urinary incontinence, urinary retention, pelvic organ prolapse, recurrent **inflammation, urethritis, female sexual dysfunction (including **reduction, sexual arousal disorders, orgasm disorders, **pain and **spasms or relaxation), **incontinence, constipation, and chronic pelvic pain, among others. In recent years, the incidence of varying degrees of pelvic floor dysfunction in women has been on the rise.

3. What are the causes of pelvic floor dysfunction?
Factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, aging, obesity, menopause, and constipation can easily lead to pelvic floor dysfunction in women. However, controlling weight and actively engaging in pelvic floor muscle exercises can reduce pelvic floor muscle damage caused by various factors.

4. How can pelvic floor diseases be prevented and treated?
Seek medical advice promptly when experiencing the above clinical manifestations, conduct pelvic floor function checks postpartum, and initiate pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation treatment in a timely manner (which is currently recognized as an effective first-line preventive and therapeutic measure for pelvic floor dysfunction in the industry).

5. How to perform pelvic floor muscle training?
1. **/Pelvic floor muscle stimulation treatment: Utilizes the principles of neuromuscular electrical stimulation or magnetic stimulation to regulate pelvic floor nerve and muscle function for treatment.
2. Carbon dioxide laser treatment: Acts on **mucosa, promoting fibroblast and blood vessel regeneration, thereby increasing local collagen production, forming a thicker and more elastic **mucosa, tightening **and returning you to a more hydrated state post-menopause, while enhancing **support for the urethra and alleviating symptoms of stress urinary incontinence.
3. Kegel exercises – Key points for pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training: Generally, first exercise Type I muscles, then Type II muscles.
Type I muscle exercise: Slowly contract the perineum and **to maximum strength, holding for 3-5 seconds, then gently relax for 3-5 seconds.
Type II muscle exercise: Quickly contract the perineum and **to maximum strength and then immediately relax, repeating 3-5 times before relaxing for 6-10 seconds.
Treatment course: Exercise for 15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day.
4. **Dumbells (Kegel balls) – Use of pelvic floor rehabilitation training devices
The pelvic floor rehabilitation training device is a product used to assist in pelvic floor muscle contraction exercises. To use, first lie on your back, select a number one ball and insert it into ** until the rehabilitation device is about 1-2 cm from the **opening, contract the muscles, then stand up to begin exercising, and perform actions such as walking, climbing stairs, coughing, and jumping in sequence. When it can be held without dropping, switch to number two ball, and continue similarly. Women over 40 or those who have given birth naturally should practice daily 1-2 times for 15-20 minutes each time, while other women can do it two to three times a week.
