Women should actively prevent pelvic floor disorders Pelvic floor disorders refer to the general term for women with pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, including bulging of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls, stress urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse. Many people believe that wetting pants is a normal physiological phenomenon in old age, just as wrinkles appear on the face when a person gets old, which is related to the aging and degeneration of various organs in the human body and cannot be changed. Some older women even have to go to the hospital for examination and treatment only when they have erosion or rupture. As modern people live longer and longer, the incidence of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence in older women is increasing. In general, pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence are always “companions”. 40% of elderly women with pelvic organ prolapse also suffer from stress urinary incontinence, while if elderly women suffer from urinary incontinence, some of them generally suffer from organ prolapse. The pelvic floor of women is often compared to a self-regulating hammock that automatically adjusts its tension depending on the environmental changes in the body. After entering old age, because of pregnancy, childbirth, estrogen secretion decline and other reasons, the “hammock” will become loose, the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments gradually weaken the support role, the urethral sphincter becomes loose and inelastic, the angle between the bladder and urethra has changed significantly, resulting in urinary incontinence and pelvic organs of elderly women. This leads to urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse in older women. The prolapse of the pelvic organs can cause spasm of the urethral muscles, leading to urinary retention and urinary tract infections in elderly women. So, if an older woman has a pelvic floor disorder, does she have to undergo surgery? The usual treatment is to remove the prolapsed uterus and the bulging vaginal wall and surgically close the damaged fascia. However, this surgery is more invasive and harmful to the patient, and there is a great possibility of recurrence in the future. In recent years, with the gradual development of medicine, various minimally invasive puncture suspensions have been invented, which greatly relieve the pain of patients and also greatly reduce their financial pressure. In daily life, how do we elderly women prevent and control the occurrence of pelvic floor disorders? First, we should pay attention to maintaining adequate hydration. Older women should develop the habit of drinking water diligently, drinking at least 1.5 —-2 liters of plain water every day, and develop the habit of urinating regularly, with each interval not exceeding 4 hours, to reduce the chance of urinary tract infections. The second is to pay attention to increase the intake of dietary fiber. For those middle-aged and elderly women who have constipation disorders, pay attention to the development of good bowel habits, try to pay attention to not to force too hard when defecating. Pay attention to the daily intake of sufficient dietary fiber to alleviate the occurrence of bladder atrophy. Third, we should pay attention to controlling our weight. Studies have shown that obesity is a major cause of pelvic floor dysfunction, so middle-aged and older women who are obese should actively reduce their weight to reduce pelvic floor dysfunction. At the same time, we should actively treat the accompanying diabetes and urinary tract infections and other diseases.
