How can I help my pelvic floor?

Daily pelvic floor exercises
Try to drink 1.5-2litres of fluid per day avoiding irritants like caffeine, citrus, fizzy drinks, and alcohol
Aim to wee every 3-4hrs during the day and once overnight is normal
Sit, relax, and don’t rush on the toilet
Keep a good fibre intake – brown carbs (bread, rice, pasta) and fruit with skin on (pears, prunes, apples, nectarines, grapes and berries)
Don’t strain to have a poo
