We have already talked about some of the benefits related to sexual health for which buying Kegel balls and using them regularly can be beneficial: better lubrication, increased libido, more intense and long-lasting orgasms, etc.
But the truth is that these accessories have many benefits at a therapeutic level and that they can work the pelvic floor and tone it to obtain all these results:
Postpartum recovery
During pregnancy, a woman is carrying excess weight for 9 months on the pelvic floor and during childbirth there are many fibres that are torn, so many women suffer weakness in the pelvic floor muscles during the postpartum period.
This can cause them to have involuntary urine leakage and not feel pleasure in sexual intercourse, so many women who are in the process of postpartum are recommended the use of Kegel balls to regain tone and strength in the muscles of her vagina.
Treatment for menopausal women
Many women who are in the menopausal stage of their lives go to the doctor because they have urinary incontinence and cannot control the loss of fluids from their bodies.
This is due to weak pelvic floor muscles that have never been worked. All this becomes more acute when women lose their periods because they are no longer generating oestrogen and is accompanied by symptoms such as loss of collagen, vaginal dryness and deterioration of the pelvic support.
It has been proven that when these women start using this accessory on a daily basis, it takes between 3 to 6 months to regain their pelvic floor tone and therefore control urinary incontinence.
Injury prevention
There are some injuries to the pelvic floor that cause it to deteriorate and stop working properly.
As mentioned above, one of the most common reasons for vaginal muscle injury is pregnancy and childbirth, but there are many others such as: impact sports, obesity, constipation, unhealthy daily habits or stress.
Using Kegel balls before these problems appear means that the pelvic floor is exercised and strong enough to withstand all these causes of malfunction. Therefore, we can prevent injuries to the muscles of the vagina thanks to the Kegel balls.
