Post-childbirth rehabilitation is crucial for women who have just given birth. This process involves exercises, therapy, and other techniques to help the body recover from the physical trauma of childbirth. It can also help prevent or treat issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and back pain. In this article, we explore the importance of post-childbirth rehabilitation, the different techniques used, and how they can benefit new mothers.
At King’s we understand that childbirth can bring with it a lot of changes to a woman’s body, which includes her psychological, hormonal and physiological well-being.
One of the most affected areas during pregnancy and after childbirth is the pelvic floor area and the entire intimate area. The issues faced by most mothers include urinary incontinence, intimate discomfort, and vaginal laxity.
With post-childbirth rehabilitation, these issues can be treated with both surgical and non-surgical options. Our non-surgical minimally invasive solutions after childbirth include FemiLift laser, the BTL Emsella chair, and the O-SHOT (PRP).
Treatment Procedures Used for Post-childbirth Rehabilitation
FemiLift
FemiLift is a non-surgical intimate rejuvenation device that uses the power of laser to treat a wide range of female intimate issues and plays a crucial role in post-childbirth rehabilitation. It provides effective care for highly diverse range of needs.
What FemiLift Laser Treats
Vaginal Laxity
Due to factors such as childbirth and age, a woman’s intimate area can face laxity, just like the skin on other areas of the body does due to age or massive weight loss. The FemiLift laser treatment works by stimulating collagen regeneration in the vaginal area, which leads to contraction, hence tightening. The tissue in this area are restored to a more youthful state, with a decrease in diameter.
For anyone interested in the treatment, up to 3 sessions are required to achieve the desired results. These sessions are usually six weeks apart.
Vaginal Dryness and Recurrent Infections
When it comes to dryness, which can lead to discomfort and even pain, the FemiLift laser treatment rejuvenates the vaginal tissues that as a result improves lubrication and normalises the pH and flora of the vagina. It also enhances the local immune system which helps get rid of chronic infections.
Stress Urinary Incontinence
Urine leakage or loose bladder is a very common problem among many women worldwide, especially after childbirth. Those who face this problem usually find that when they take part in certain activities that increase intra-abdominal pressure like sneezing, coughing, or taking part in certain physical activities, they get leakage. FemiLift laser treatment, stimulates collagen renewal, which induces rejuvenation and tissue remodelling.
Stress Urinary Incontinence can be embarrassing at most, but there is a cure. You don’t have to live with it any more regardless your age.
