00:00I'm pregnant with my first child but I've heard that label will leave my vagina too
00:07loose and will make sex unenjoyable. What can I do to tighten up post baby? Are Kegels
00:12the only option? Signed, Confused and St. Louis. Please help Confused and St. Louis out.
00:17What's that? So the vagina is a muscle just like my muscles right here, right? So you
00:21have to exercise it. So the way you could do it is by doing simply Kegels. It's the
00:25same thing you do when like you fake orgasms, right? You squeeze in and you let go, right?
00:29So you can do it three times in ten minutes to exercise the vagina or you can
00:33use something called a Benway ball which are resistance balls that you can put
00:37inside the vagina. The trick is, ladies, make sure you wear undies when you're
00:41doing this. Oh, will they fall out? They will fall out if you don't have enough
00:44strength. So make sure you use undies while you're using the Benway balls. Is there
00:47a difference between if you've had multiple children or not in terms of
00:51doing these exercises and the importance of them or does it matter really after
00:54you've had children? So the more babies you have the looser the vagina is gonna be.
00:57So you definitely want to, you want to do more and more exercises. Super important.
01:01The one thing I also say for that is and I've sent a lot of my patients to a pelvic
01:06physical therapist. I really use pelvic physical therapists so much. So they just
01:11like you go to physical therapists if you hurt your back, if you hurt your knee, they
01:14will actually evaluate your pelvis. The pelvis is full of so many different
01:17muscles and they will actually help you identify which are the muscles that need
01:21help, give you the exercises and also we can do things like trigger point
01:25injections and also there are really good in addition to the balls that you meant
01:29but not those balls, you know other balls. There is a new it's like a gadget and I
01:35love gadgets as a surgeon but it actually is something you can really look at the
01:39biofeedback of the muscles and so again you insert it into the vagina but it
01:44regulates and tells you if you should hold it stronger, longer and it gives you all
01:49that feedback onto an app on your phone.
