Pelvic blood circulation plays a major role in human health as a whole and in the reproductive sphere. After all, the pelvis is home to the prostate gland in men, and the ovaries and uterus in women, Ukr.Media reports.
Stagnation of blood in the pelvis leads to many troubles. First of all, they concern the reproductive and genitourinary systems. One of the first problems that men begin to experience is decreased potency, erectile dysfunction, and later prostatitis. For women, stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs is a risk of developing uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and impaired fertility.
Also, impaired blood circulation in the pelvis affects the body's fluid balance and overall tone. Let's see what we can do to get the blood moving, not stagnating.
A sedentary lifestyle leads to blood stagnation in the pelvis
It may seem trite, and you know it, but a sedentary lifestyle is the cause of many diseases. Among other things, it causes blood stagnation in the pelvis. Therefore, we get up and do exercises. If you have a sedentary job, you need to do physical exercises every hour, stretch, walk. Try to build your work schedule so that in addition to a sitting position, there are phases of active movement.
Those who drive often lead a sedentary lifestyle by force, moving along the route: “home – steering wheel – office – steering wheel – shop – steering wheel – home”. Not everyone has a gym and a massage therapist's office included in this “chain” that is harmful to health. If a person leads a sedentary lifestyle, unfortunately, neither the absence of bad habits such as smoking nor proper nutrition will save their health. Because nothing can replace movement. Therefore, it is important to overcome inertia and develop the habit of walking at least within a kilometer radius of the house and office every day. In addition, accustom yourself to regular walks at least 3-4 times a week, for 1-1.5 hours.
Pelvic floor exercises to combat blood stasis
Body movement to the sides
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms extended to the sides. Keeping your pelvis fixed, move your body from side to side to the maximum amplitude. The important point in this exercise is a stationary pelvis. Another version of this exercise for the small pelvis is to move your body diagonally – in both directions. Feel all the pulling sensations.
Pelvic movement
The position is the same as in the previous exercise. Keeping the body still, move the pelvis to the sides. Then tilt the pelvis back and continue to perform side-to-side movements. Then push the pelvis forward and do the same movements.
Pelvic rotation
The position is the same. Keeping the body still, we rotate the pelvis with maximum amplitude in both directions.
Eight
In the same position, we perform a figure eight movement with the pelvis. The right part of the pelvis describes the right part of the figure eight, the left part describes the left. Listen to your sensations, they can be very interesting.
Washing floors is useful for preventing blood stagnation in the pelvis
This is a very useful exercise for women's health, if done correctly. Unfortunately, thanks to mops, women have practically forgotten how to wash the floor by hand, as their grandmothers did. The secret to quality performance is in a relaxed pelvis. You take a rag in your hands, lean forward so that your back and spine hang freely under your weight, bend your knees slightly and wash the floor.
We make characteristic movements from side to side, one leg straightens, the other bends slightly, we move from side to side, leading the rag along the floor. We move in one direction on inhalation, in the other on exhalation. Perform this movement slowly, enjoying it. Do it from the heart, thank your body for the possibility of such a movement, which is very useful for women's health.
But be careful. You can relax and not notice the furniture and walls, hit. If you have a tight space in the house, just find a free place and imitate this movement. In addition to a relaxed pelvis, this exercise gives rest to the upper back, blood flow to the head, which, when performed regularly, improves blood supply to the head.
It is important with this exercise: the main load should fall on the legs, not on the lower back. If the lower back hurts, shift the balance of the body forward, straightening the legs. A characteristic sign of the correct performance of this exercise is that your mood will improve.
Exercises to correct lumbar lordosis
Lumbar lordosis — excessive forward curvature of the spine in the lumbar region and, accordingly, backward curvature in the pelvic region — does not contribute to the best functioning of the organs and blood circulation of the pelvic organs. This means that it needs to be corrected. Special exercises for the lumbar region will help with this:
Rack against the wall
You need to lean against the wall so that there is no deflection in the lower back, and the spine is completely pressed against the wall. Your abdominal muscles will help you with this. Then move away from the wall and try to hold this position for as long as possible.
Lying with a roller
Lie on your back, place a cushion under your buttocks. Do nothing, just lie there, concentrating on the muscles in your lower back. They will start to stretch. They may feel like they are being pulled, they may relax, and you may even fall asleep in this position.
Yoga exercises to prevent blood stagnation in the pelvis
Twisting
Lie on your back on a mat. Bend one leg at the knee. Spread your arms out to the sides. If your right leg is bent, rotate it to the left until the knee touches the floor, with your arms spread out to the sides and pressed to the floor. Hold this pose for 30 to 60 seconds, then do it to the other side.
Butterfly
Lie on your back, bend your knees and spread your legs as far apart as possible, touching your feet. Hold this position for as long as is comfortable.
Frog
It is performed in the same way as the butterfly, only lying on your stomach. You need to put soft pillows under your knees. Leaning on your hands, try to put your pelvis on the floor, stretching your knees.
Camel pose
Kneel down and lean back until your hands touch your feet or grab your ankles. If you can't reach your feet, lean back as far as you can. Hold this position for 30 seconds.
Fish pose
Kneel down, lean back, lie on your back so that your buttocks are on your heels. You can place your hands along your body, or stretch them behind your head. Make light rocking movements with your pelvis from side to side. Attention! This is a difficult pose, if you can't do it, don't despair. People suffering from gonarthrosis should also not do this exercise so as not to injure the knee joints and overstretch the ligaments.
Bridge
Not everyone can do the bridge from a standing position, you can do it from a lying position, pushing yourself off the floor with your hands and feet. Push your pelvis up. The main thing here is the strength of your hands, which hold your body above the floor. Hold this position for 30 seconds, if you can't do the bridge, do a half-bridge, with your back lowered and your pelvis raised.
