I have felt discomfort during sexual intercourse since giving birth. What can I do?
The best thing to do is to go to an aesthetic gynecology centre, where there is a gynecologist and a pelvic floor physiotherapist. After childbirth, small contractions can sometimes appear in the pelvic floor, tightening the vagina and causing pain or a burning sensation. The same symptoms may appear if you have had a scar as a result of a caesarean section, episiotomy or tear.
Faced with all of these symptoms, physical therapy is the first choice of treatment and produces surprisingly fast results.
Is it always good to do contractions of the pelvic floor (Kegel)?

You must go to a specialist in order to receive a correct assessment, and so that they can provide you with appropriate recommendations to follow at home.
Since my pregnancies my tummy has not been what it was before. What should I do?
After the distention caused by the pregnancy, the abdominal rectus muscles move away from the midline and partially lose their function and hernias (lumps) can appear in the midline of the abdomen and navel.
We reinforce the abdomen through abdominal exercises, hypoppresive exercises and other techniques.
Although in more severe cases in which there is greater separation of the muscles, plastic surgery (abdominoplasty) is required to repair the abdominal wall. Through physiotherapy, the muscle regains its function function and the abdomen is reconstructed through surgery, so that the structures and muscles return to their original position.
