Several measures can be taken to prevent straining and its associated complications:
Dietary modifications: A high-fiber diet can prevent constipation and reduce the need to strain during bowel movements. Regular exercise: Strengthening pelvic floor muscles through exercises like Kegels can enhance pelvic health. Proper lifting techniques: Avoiding heavy lifting or using proper techniques can reduce strain. Maintaining a healthy weight: Reducing body weight can decrease the pressure on pelvic organs. Managing chronic coughs: Treating underlying conditions that cause chronic coughing can help.
