Doctor’s Story: Why I Recommend Kegel8 for Pelvic Floor Recovery By Dr Louise Wiseman, GP & Women’s Health Expert

Life After Childbirth – My Pelvic Floor Struggle

After my second emergency caesarean, I damaged my pelvic floor through excessive lifting. The impact was immediate: weakness, discomfort, and a loss of control. Like many women, I quickly realised how essential these hidden muscles are.

I turned to the Kegel8 Ultra 20 Electronic Pelvic Toner, and within just a few weeks I was able to return to my normal exercise routine — and carry on living my life.

“I used a Kegel8 Toner after my second emergency caesarean, when I damaged my pelvic floor by excessive lifting. Within a few weeks I was able to return to my normal exercise regime and carry on living my life. I cannot recommend the Kegel8 Ultra 20 highly enough.”

Why the Pelvic Floor Matters

Women’s bodies are incredibly complex. Our pelvis contains the bladder, womb, ovaries and bowel, all supported by the pelvic floor – a muscle group shaped like a bowl. Over time, pregnancy, childbirth, heavy lifting, sport, menopause and ageing can weaken this support, leading to:

Bladder leaks when coughing, sneezing or laughing
Urgency to rush to the loo
Prolapse symptoms and dragging sensations
Bowel control difficulties
Impact on intimacy

The Importance of Kegel Exercises

Kegel (pelvic floor) exercises are often recommended, but many women struggle to do them correctly. Physiotherapists can help, but if the muscles are very weak, progress can be slow.

That’s where technology comes in.

Why I Recommend Kegel8 Ultra 20

As a doctor, I always say: check with your GP first, especially if you have conditions like pelvic cancer, a pacemaker, or recent surgery. But if it’s safe for you, I cannot recommend the Kegel8 Ultra 20 highly enough.

It automatically exercises your pelvic floor with gentle electrical stimulation
You can choose an internal probe or external electrodes (like a TENS machine)
It targets symptoms including incontinence, prolapse, bladder leaks and night-time weeing
Results can start in just 1–2 weeks, with best results in 12 weeks

At first, I used mine lying down, following the programme settings. Now, many women even use it while staying active.

Real Results – Back to Life in Weeks

For me, the results were clear: within weeks I regained control, strength, and the ability to exercise again. Many other women report the same — from better bladder control to improved intimacy.

As I tell my patients: Don’t suffer in silence. There are solutions that work.

A Message to Women Everywhere

What upsets me most as a doctor is that too many women simply don’t know what’s available to help them. That’s why I’m passionate about awareness, prevention, and female empowerment.

We need to talk more openly about prolapse, incontinence and pelvic health — not just when problems arise, but earlier, with our daughters and friends.

The Kegel8 Ultra 20 is one of the best tools to give women back their confidence, health and control, all in the comfort of their own home.
