Many women undertake gynaecological repair surgery with some anxiety and trepidation. This guide has been written with the aim of reducing these fears by educating women about:
- Anatomy of the bladder and bowel.
- Correct activation of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles.
- Conservative treatment of urinary incontinence.
- Prolapse prevention and management.
- Bladder and bowel emptying positions.
- Preoperative and post operative physiotherapy strategies.
- Information to give you confidence for your hospital stay.
- Post op ‘pelvic floor safe’ abdominal exercises.
- Return to work, sport, sexual function and travel advice.
The book is easy to read and has simple diagrams and illustrations to demonstrate the anatomy and exercises. It is small enough to take into hospital and bright enough to find every year so you can revise your strategies and help your pelvic floor stay in good shape forever.
