Did you know that your intimate health can significantly affect your overall well-being, the quality of your relationships, and even your level of self-confidence? One of the most effective ways to support and improve intimate health is womb building – a special exercise for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. This concept is not only about physical condition but also about the harmony of body and soul.
What is womb building?
The term "womb building" comes from the English abbreviation VUM (Vaginal Muscle Building), which means "building the muscles of the vagina." This method emerged in the 1980s thanks to the developments of Soviet gynecologist A. Kegel and his followers. The main goal is to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which are responsible for many aspects of women's health: from the prevention of gynecological diseases to improving the quality of sexual life.
Womb building is also popular among women who want to regain tone after childbirth, eliminate urinary incontinence, or simply better understand their bodies.
Why is it important?
The pelvic floor muscles play a key role in supporting the pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder, and rectum. Weakening these muscles can lead to many problems:
- Urinary incontinence.
- Decreased sensitivity in intimate areas.
- Prolapse of pelvic organs.
- Pain during sexual intercourse.
Regular exercises help avoid these problems, strengthen intimate health, boost confidence, and improve the quality of sexual life.
Benefits of womb building
- Health of pelvic organs. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles helps prevent organ prolapse and improves blood circulation in this area.
- Postpartum recovery. Childbirth can significantly weaken intimate muscles. Womb building helps restore tone and elasticity.
- Improvement of sexual life. By controlling intimate muscles, a woman can enhance sensations for both herself and her partner.
- Reduction of urinary incontinence risk. Especially relevant for women after childbirth or during menopause.
- Psychological harmony. Control over one's body adds confidence and improves self-esteem.
How does it work?
Womb building includes several levels of exercises:
- Kegel basic exercises. These are contractions and relaxations of the pelvic floor muscles that can be performed anywhere: sitting, lying down, or standing.
- Working with devices. Special devices, such as vaginal balls or biofeedback trainers, help better feel the muscles and train them more effectively.
- Advanced techniques. For experienced practitioners, womb building offers exercises with controlled movement of devices or even complex techniques for toning specific muscles.
How to get started?
- Find your pelvic floor muscles. To do this, try to stop the flow of urine while urinating – these are the muscles you need to train.
- Master Kegel exercises. Start by squeezing the muscles for 5 seconds, then relax for the same amount of time. Repeat 10-15 times several times a day.
- Use devices. Consult with a doctor or womb building trainer to choose the appropriate devices.
- Maintain regularity. Like any workout, womb building requires time and persistence, but the results will not take long to show.
Contraindications
Although womb building is suitable for many, there are situations where it should be avoided:
- Pregnancy (unless recommended by a doctor).
- Exacerbation of gynecological diseases.
- Inflammatory processes or infections.
Always consult your gynecologist before starting exercises.
