A TikTok doctor has shared the top secrets to a healthy v*gina including a workout routine, the perfect way to pee, and how to wipe your behind correctly.

Dr Teresa Irwin, who has 92,000 followers (@dr.teresa.irwin) is a self-proclaimed “v*ginacologist” specialising in female pelvic dysfunctions and is also a surgeon.

Over the years, she has noticed that patients' health issues are often linked to a lack of education on how to treat their bodies, so the good doctor has now revealed her top advice on keeping your v*gina in tip-top shape.

HOW TO PEE THE RIGHT WAY:

To start, Dr Irwin tackles how to pee, including taking at least a full minute to do so and sitting in the right position.

"A minute may not seem like a long time, but when I tell people to do this, it can seem like an eternity but it’s not!” Teresa told NeedToKnow.online.

"Many women do not take the time to fully empty their bladder, when you feel in a rush to pee it can cause you to have a forceful stream which will put pressure on the surrounding muscles.

"Many women are taught to pee by sitting straight up on the toilet, which causes some of the urine to stay in the bladder.

"The most popular position to prevent this issue I call the cowboy position, you simply lean forward to put your elbows above your kneecaps, making sure to keep your feet level on the ground."

ALWAYS WIPE FRONT TO BACK:

Dr Irwin also advises why you should always wipe front to back.

She said: “You can either wipe front to back from the front or front to back from behind.

“This is to prevent the tracking of bacteria from your anus, your b*tt hole, to your pee hole, therefore, preventing infection.”

HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR V*GINA:

In a recent clip on TikTok, which has racked up over 834,000 views as well as 104,000 likes, Dr Irwin also tackles the topic of v*ginal strength.

She can be seen on the floor, showing five different yoga positions for v*ginal strengthening.

In the first one, Teresa is laying on her back with her legs in the air and holding onto her feet, known as the happy baby.

In the second, she can be seen doing a position similar to the crab, while. pushing her pubic bone up, similar to an upward plank.

The third position is a ‘bridge’, which almost mimics a thrust.

She then shows 'The Goddess', an easy position, but great for strengthening your v*gina.

And finishes with the one-leg pigeon pose, a comfortable yet strong one to end on.

As well as the yoga positions, Dr Irwin advises keeping up with Kegel exercises.

She added: "I know that you have probably all heard the advice to 'do your kegels', but why?

"Your pelvic floor muscles line the interior of your pelvic bone; they act as a net to keep your reproductive and elimination organs in place, when the pelvic floor becomes weak, it can no longer hold those organs in place and it can lead to prolapse and other dysfunctions.

"Hypopressives will also help, this is an uncommon but highly effective technique to strengthen the pelvic floor.

"It is a breathing exercise that helps strengthen your core to relieve pressure on your pelvic floor by learning to lift and support the weight of the organs through the supporting muscles."
