Running with poor pelvic floor- what is your solution

So my pelvic floor isn't great after two vaginal deliveries, one that was forceps. I do my exercises (prob too late)

I'm running again and it is often difficult to control. I've tried tena lady (well the Aldi version) but sometimes that becomes sodden and then I have a great lump in my pants.

Is there anything I can do?

I had TVT in the new year and for the first time in 18 years I can walk without leaking, and if I need to run, I can and not wet myself. Drastic action and needs time off work but so worth it.

Sometimes sadly no matter how many pelvic floors you do, damage has been done and an op is all that can repair it.

Good luck

Go to your GP and get them to refer you to a physiotherapist. I did after having my 2 and the physio got annoyed because I wasn't tensing my pelvic floor. I was but there was very little to tense...
