1. Understanding the pelvic floor
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles located between the pubis and the coccyx. It contributes to urinary comfort, support of the pelvic organs and overall well-being.
2. Relaxation exercises
- Gentle exercises: softly contract the pelvic floor muscles for a few seconds, then release. Repeat at your own pace.
- Abdominal breathing: breathe in deeply, letting the belly expand, then breathe out slowly. Repeat for a few minutes to relax.
3. Daily habits
- Hydration: drink water regularly throughout the day.
- Limit irritating drinks (coffee, alcohol, sodas).

Consult a healthcare professional (doctor, specialized physiotherapist, midwife or urologist) if symptoms persist, in case of pain, or whenever you have any doubt about your health.
