Up to 15% of women sustain pelvic injuries during childbirth that do not heal, according to research published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Injuries caused by childbirth can last a long time.

Childbirth is arguably the most traumatic event the human body can undergo, and recovery from the pelvic injuries sustained can take 8 months or longer.

Kegel exercises, also known as pelvic floor training, are commonly prescribed and involve tightening and contracting the pelvic muscles, which is easy to do at any time.

They aim to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the uterus, bladder, small intestine and rectum.
