Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation device is dumbbell. How to use it

Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation devices can usually be exercised through Kegel exercises like dumbbells, and attention should be paid to posture correctness and the principle of gradual progress when using them. Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation devices mainly include vaginal dumbbells, electronic biofeedback devices, magnetic stimulators, electrical stimulation equipment, and self-directed training balls. Different instruments need to be combined with specific training methods.

1. Vaginal dumbbell

cone or spherical design, which stimulates pelvic floor muscle contraction through gravity. The first use should start with the lightest size, clean it and insert it into the vagina about one finger deep. When standing, try to clamp the instrument to prevent it from slipping. Keep contracting for 5 seconds each time and then relax. Repeat 10-15 times in a group. As muscle strength increases, gradually switch to heavier models to avoid muscle soreness after training.

2. Electronic biofeedback device

monitors muscle contraction strength through sensors and displays it in real-time on smart devices. When using, it is necessary to place the probe correctly and perform contraction and relaxation training according to the on-screen prompts, which can help establish neuromuscular connections. It is recommended to train twice a day for 10 minutes each time to avoid neglecting autonomous perception ability due to excessive reliance on instruments.

3. Magnetic Stimulator

is a non-invasive device that stimulates pelvic floor muscles through electromagnetic pulses, suitable for postoperative or weak muscle groups. During treatment, it is necessary to sit on a specially designed seat, and the magnetic field will cause passive muscle contraction. Each treatment lasts for 20 minutes. Attention should be paid to the use of metal implants or pacemakers, and treatment intervals should be maintained at least 48 hours.

4. Electrical stimulation devices

transmit microcurrents through electrode pads to induce rhythmic muscle contractions, which can adjust frequency intensity. The electrode should be attached to the perineum or sacral skin, and a programmed training mode should be selected. The initial intensity should not exceed tolerance. It is recommended to use it 3 times a week for skin damage or during pregnancy, and it should be combined with active contraction training for better results.

5. Self training ball

Built in gravity ball elastic equipment, activates deep muscle groups through leg clamping movements. When sitting, place the sphere on the inside of the thigh, slowly squeeze and hold for 3 seconds, and feel the coordinated contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. It is recommended to have 3 groups of 12 sessions per day, and maintain normal breathing during training to avoid compensatory exertion in the waist. Postpartum women are advised to start training after lochia has been cleared, and middle-aged and elderly users should first rule out pelvic organ prolapse. Before all training, the bladder should be emptied. If there is persistent pain or bleeding after training, it should be paused and medical attention should be sought. Daily use can be combined with abdominal breathing enhancement to avoid behaviors such as prolonged sitting and lifting heavy objects that increase abdominal pressure. Regular training for more than 3 months can significantly improve symptoms such as urinary incontinence and pelvic heaviness. Patients with severe pelvic floor dysfunction require combined clinical treatment.
