In this episode, I tackle the pelvic floor and pelvic floor dysfunction: what it is, how it shows up, and why it impacts the quality of life far more than people realize.
We cover symptoms like incontinence and prolapse, bust the myth that this only affects postpartum women, and dig into the treatment options that are actually available. Spoiler: you don’t have to just live with it.
If you have been quietly dealing with pelvic floor symptoms or you’re caring for someone who is, this episode is worth a listen.
