The Perineum and Sports
<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

Does Playing Sports Necessarily Damage the Perineum?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Perineum and Exercise: Which Exercises Really Protect Your Pelvic Floor?
<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Exercising is good for your health. But when it comes to the perineum, many people end up asking themselves the same question: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u21d2 Can exercise weaken the pelvic floor?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Between social media posts advising you to \u201ctighten your core constantly\u201d and stories of urinary leakage during exercise, it\u2019s sometimes hard to know what to believe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And yet, this topic deserves our attention.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||10px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

The perineum: a muscle that also works during exercise
<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

The perineum is a group of muscles located at the base of the pelvis.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It plays an essential role in:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 urinary and fecal continence
\u2192 organ support
\u2192 managing abdominal pressure
\u2192 core stability<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u21d2 With every jump, exertion, or impact, it must absorb some of the pressure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In other words: even if you don\u2019t feel it, your pelvic floor is working during almost any physical activity.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||10px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Why do some people experience leakage while exercising?
<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

During physical exertion:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 abdominal pressure increases
\u2192 the pelvic floor must react quickly
\u2192 the muscles must support the organs<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If this coordination is impaired:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u21d2 urinary leakage may occur.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This particularly applies to:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2666 high-impact sports
\u2666 heavy lifting
\u2666 exercises performed with improper breathing<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||10px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

The Most Demanding Sports for the Pelvic Floor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Certain activities place greater strain on the pelvic floor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 Running<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

Repeated impacts increase pressure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 CrossFit and heavy weight training<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

Holding your breath and pushing with your abdomen can weaken the perineum.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 Trampoline and jumping sports<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

Vertical pressures are significant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 Improperly performed sit-ups<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

Especially when they significantly increase downward pressure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean you have to stop these sports, but rather that you should learn to manage the exertion better.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||10px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Sports are often better tolerated
<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Some activities engage the pelvic floor more gently:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 walking
\u2192 swimming
\u2192 adapted yoga
\u2192 supervised Pilates
\u2192 moderate cycling<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The most important thing is the quality of your movement and breathing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The \u201csuck in your stomach\u201d trap<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

On social media, we often hear:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201ckeep your core engaged at all times<\/em>\u201d
\u201csuck in your stomach<\/em>\u201d
\u201ccontract your pelvic floor constantly<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But a constantly contracted pelvic floor can also be problematic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At Sugar, we believe that a functional pelvic floor must be able to:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 contract
\u2192 but also relax<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The body works like a spring:
if it remains constantly tense, it eventually loses its effectiveness.<\/p>\n

How can you protect your pelvic floor while exercising?
<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″ locked=”off”]<\/p>\n

1. Breathe Properly<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

Breathing is essential.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Holding your breath during physical exertion significantly increases abdominal pressure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The goal is to learn how to:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 exhale during exertion
\u2192 avoid pushing downward
\u2192 coordinate breathing and movement<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Strengthen the pelvic floor intelligently<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

Pelvic floor rehabilitation can help:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 improve muscle tone
\u2192 enhance coordination
\u2192 better absorb impact<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It may include:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 targeted exercises
\u2192 postural training
\u2192 biofeedback
\u2192 electrostimulation<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Adapt Certain Exercises<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

Sometimes, a few adjustments are all it takes:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 <\/strong>reduce impact
\u2192 adjust the load
\u2192 correct posture
\u2192 modify certain abdominal exercises<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Continue the exercises at home<\/strong><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

After an initial learning period, certain exercises can be continued at home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In some cases, medical devices such as perineal probes can be used to support muscle training.<\/p>\n

Should you stop exercising if you have urinary incontinence?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not necessarily.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many people think they need to stop all physical activity completely.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, inactivity can also weaken the body.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The main goal is:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 to understand the cause of the symptoms
\u2192 to adjust the intensity of exercise
\u2192 to rehabilitate the pelvic floor if necessary<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||10px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Financial Update: Prevention Is Often Less Expensive<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some people put off seeking treatment:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 fear of the cost
\u2192 lack of time
\u2192 dismissing symptoms as trivial<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But in the long term:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2192 the problems can worsen
\u2192 comfort decreases
\u2192 protective gear and assistive devices are expensive<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prescribed pelvic floor rehabilitation is mostly covered by the CPAM.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Investing in your pelvic floor often means preserving your freedom of movement for years to come.<\/p>\n

The Most Common Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2192 Doing sit-ups that are too intense
\u2192 Holding your breath
\u2192 Thinking you have to \u201csqueeze\u201d all the time
\u2192 Ignoring the first signs of leakage<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A strong pelvic floor isn\u2019t a tense one\u2014it\u2019s a coordinated one.<\/p>\n

When should you see a doctor?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

It is recommended that you seek consultation if:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u21d2 you experience leakage during exercise
\u21d2 you feel a sensation of heaviness in your pelvis
\u21d2 certain exercises cause discomfort
\u21d2 you have concerns about your pelvic floor<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A professional can tailor your treatment plan to your specific sports activities.<\/p>\n

Exercise isn\u2019t the enemy of your pelvic floor, but it sometimes requires more coordination than you might think.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The real goal isn\u2019t to avoid exertion\u2026but to learn how to better manage the pressures your body faces every day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At Sugar, we believe that with the right support, your pelvic floor can often help you keep moving, running, and living without fear.<\/p>\n
