Menopause and Pelvic Floor Issues: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Training with PonteMed Products

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. During this time, the production of the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone decreases, which can lead to various physical and psychological changes. One of the common consequences is pelvic floor issues.

Causes of Potential Pelvic Floor Issues During Menopause

1. Hormonal Changes: The lack of estrogen during menopause leads to a weakening of the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that support the pelvic floor.

2. Aging Process: As we age, muscle strength generally decreases, and this also affects the pelvic floor.

3. Lifestyle Factors: Being overweight, lack of physical activity, chronic coughing (e.g., from smoking), and frequent heavy lifting can place additional strain on the pelvic floor.

4. Childbirth: Women who have given birth vaginally may experience a weakening of the pelvic floor, which can become more noticeable during menopause.

   
   

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Typical symptoms include incontinence, pelvic pain, back pain, and sexual dysfunctions. Diagnosis involves a medical history, physical examinations, and possibly imaging procedures.

PonteMed Products as a Training Approach

PonteMed offers innovative training devices designed to strengthen and rehabilitate the pelvic floor and surrounding muscles. This training is based on the application of a magnetic field that triggers targeted muscle contractions in the pelvic floor area. As a result, muscle strength can be effectively increased without physical exertion.

• Non-invasive and Pain-free: The training is a gentle method with no side effects.

• Efficiency: Studies show that magnetic stimulation is an effective method for strengthening the pelvic floor.

• Time-saving: Each training session lasts only between 15 and 22 minutes.

  
  

Summary

Pelvic floor issues during menopause are common and can be burdensome. However, through a combination of lifestyle changes and targeted training, affected women can improve their quality of life.
