As women, we know that our sexual health is incredibly important, not just for our intimate relationships but for our overall well-being. One aspect of sexual health that is often discussed but not always fully understood is pelvic floor health credited to Kegel exercises.
In an insightful conversation with Independent Media Lifestyle, Dr Marie Subrayan, a seasoned obstetrician, gynaecologist and aesthetic gynaecologist, shared her expertise on the often-overlooked topic of pelvic floor health care.
With a wealth of experience in managing everything from menopausal issues to sexual health dysfunction, Subrayan offers a comprehensive perspective on the many factors that influence womens health, wellness and overall sexual well-being.
A Kegel exercise is just one type of exercise that can be done to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Its by no means the only exercise and its often done incorrectly, which is why its not as effective as it could be.
Subrayan said pelvic floor exercises could be divided into two categories: exercises for a hypotonic (weak) pelvic floor and exercises for a hypertonic (too tight) pelvic floor.
