Anterior midline vessel (Conception Vessel)
In the perineal region, on the midline: in men, midway between the root of the scrotum and the anus; in women, midway between the posterior commissure of the labia majora and the anus.
The pelvic floor area: heaviness and a feeling of weakness low in the pelvis after long sitting. In self-help it mainly serves as a landmark for gentle breathing work with the pelvic floor muscles.
Direct pressure is not used in self-help. Use the point as a landmark: sitting or lying, on the out-breath gently draw the perineum in and up, hold 2-3 seconds and fully release; 5-8 repetitions, 1-2 sets a day.
Intimate area: direct pressure is not suitable for self-help — work only with breathing and a soft muscle contraction. Do not use during pregnancy. Skip the exercise with inflammation, haemorrhoids, fissures or recent surgery in this area.
