Chapter 543 Kegel Exercises and Kegel Exercises
After explaining the abdominal binder, Li San Niang clapped her hands, signaling everyone to take a midday rest.
After returning to the Li family home with Li's mother and the others, Li's second brother quickly went up to Li's third sister and said, "Wang Ye has arrived with his men regarding your exchange shop."
(Chapter 456 plot)
Li San Niang followed Li Er Xiong into the main hall, where she saw Li's father sitting at the head of the table, talking to Wang Ye and another man who were sitting below him.
After looking at Wang Ye, Li San Niang glanced at the other man Wang Ye had brought over. To her surprise, she realized it was someone she had met once before.
He was the young man named Bi Yuanjia, whom Li San Niang had met when she went to participate in the Chang'an Medical Alliance.
(Chapter 123 plot)
"Dr. Li!"
"Dr. Wang! Dr. Bi! Are you both well?"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wang Ye got straight to the point: "I know Dr. Li is usually very busy, and I know you have to give a lecture next door today, so I'll get straight to the point."
This Doctor Bi is a relative by marriage. I happened to tell him about how I got into your exchange hall through Doctor Tang. He thought it was a good idea as soon as he heard it. I think he has the same vision as me, so I brought him here directly.
Dr. Li, what do you think?
"Is Dr. Bi qualified to enter that exchange hall?"
Facing the gazes of Wang Ye and Bi Yuanjia, Li Sanniang nodded with a smile.
"What a coincidence! To be honest, Dr. Wang, I met Dr. Bi when I went to the Alliance for reference. We even chatted for a bit back then."
Wang Ye was very surprised and turned to look at Bi Yuanjia. Bi Yuanjia nodded shyly and said to Wang Ye, "It's not that I deliberately hid it, it's just that it happened more than a year ago."
I was also afraid that if I rashly told you that I knew Dr. Li, things wouldn't go well, so I didn't tell you, my cousin.
Wang Ye nodded knowingly, agreeing with Bi Yuanjia's words.
Next, Li San Niang asked her father and second brother to invite Wang Ye and Bi Yuanjia to a restaurant outside for lunch.
During the meal, everyone started chatting, and Li San Niang learned about Bi Yuanjia's activities in Chang'an over the past year.
After being admitted to the Medical Alliance, Bi Yuanjia was assigned to the clinic, where he practiced medicine for about half a year. Due to his superb medical skills, he gradually built up a good reputation.
"It was a coincidence. At that time, the Department of Surgery of the Imperial Medical Bureau was recruiting people. The head of the clinic where I worked thought I was very suitable for the Department of Surgery. They said they wanted young men, so they recommended my name."
Luckily, I ended up going directly to the Imperial Medical Bureau for my shift.
I had originally signed up for the call-up of surgeons to the front lines, but I wasn't selected. I guess it's because I haven't been involved in the field long enough.
Only then did Li San Niang realize that the young man had already entered the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Li San Niang looked at the young man in front of her, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old but was actually only seventeen or eighteen, with some surprise, and she was truly impressed.
"I've read quite a few of the books written by Dr. Li and your colleagues, and they've all been very useful!"
"If I had known my cousin knew you, I would have begged him to come and see you long ago."
The meal was very enjoyable. Bi Yuanjia greatly admired Li Sanniang's theories and skills in ulcer treatment, and a barrage of questions came out of his mouth like bullets.
In the end, Li San Niang couldn't take it anymore. "Doctor Bi's attitude of seeking knowledge is very good. However, my boss has to go to the school to give a lecture this afternoon, so there really isn't enough time."
"Once we've arranged a time, I'll formally process Dr. Bi's membership application. Then we can discuss things in more detail, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Bi Yuanjia blushed deeply. Realizing that he had caused trouble for Li Sanniang, he quickly waved his hand and nodded in agreement with her.
In this way, Li San Niang was able to quickly run to the midwifery school.
Upon arriving at the destination, Li Sanniang tidied herself up at the entrance before stepping inside.
"In addition to external abdominal binders, I would like to introduce two more exercises that I came across by chance in foreign books."
There is a movement called the Kegel Movement, which was proposed by someone named Kegel from another place.
There's also an exercise called Kegel exercises.
Instead of demonstrating the movements directly, Li San Niang hung up a pre-drawn diagram in front of the stage.
Li San Niang used a jujube tree branch as a pointer, explaining the meaning of the two movements to everyone using a simple muscle diagram she had drawn.
"Come, look, after a woman gives birth, because the uterus was stretched during pregnancy, it affects the abdominal muscles."
During childbirth, the abdominal muscles separate and the pelvic floor muscles relax in order to allow the baby to be delivered smoothly.
These will all affect and cause the issues you raised this morning.
These muscle weaknesses can be addressed through exercise.
Li San Niang used a jujube tree branch to point to the muscles she had marked with a vermilion brush, such as the rectus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles, and explained them to the crowd.
Then Li San Niang demonstrated Kegel exercises for everyone directly on the ground where a cloth was laid out.
Since Li San Niang had demonstrated the knee-chest position to them before, the women were not surprised when she demonstrated the Kegel exercise again.
(Chapter 476 plot)
Not only that, Li San Niang also specifically called out to the bolder Cheng Wanwan, "Come here, put your hand on me, and when I move, you can feel the muscles in this area working."
Cheng Wanwan obediently followed Li Sanniang's instructions and tried to feel the pelvic floor muscles working when Li Sanniang did Kegel exercises.
"I know you're probably going to be too embarrassed to come again, so I won't urge you to do this exercise and experience it for yourselves."
You all should watch carefully what I'm making first. When you go home, you can try making it yourself in bed when you're alone.
This exercise is really helpful for postpartum women, and it's also very effective for urinary incontinence and can prevent vaginal prolapse.
As for the Kegel exercises, Li San Niang herself was initially overjoyed, but after she had calmed down, she carefully explained them to everyone.
According to what Li San Niang said, even the older women in the audience, such as Li's mother and the midwife Sun, blushed, let alone the younger women.
"Okay, okay, don't feel embarrassed."
Eating, drinking, and excretion are among the most important things in a person's life.
You guys, don't think it's dirty or anything, and instinctively want to skip over these things.
Since we want to be a modern, good midwife, we naturally need to be different.
Only after overcoming these challenges can you say that I am a modern midwife who graduated from the Li Family Midwifery School.
However, looking at the expressions on the faces of the crowd below the stage, Li San Niang couldn't help but find it amusing and burst out laughing again.
