Is your pelvic floor holding you back — literally? This week on the Growing Older Living Younger podcast, Dr. Nicole Fleischmann joins Dr. Gillian Lockitch to shatter the myths surrounding women's pelvic health. Discover why “the second mouth” — your pelvic floor — is key to nervous system regulation, continence, and vitality as you age. Learn how pushing to pee could be damaging your body, why Kegels might not be the answer, and how a simple sniff can reconnect you with your core. This is a must-listen episode for every woman over 40 who wants to age with grace, strength, and confidence. Dr. Nicole Fleischmann is a board-certified urologist specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. She earned her MD from SUNY Downstate and completed her training in urology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, followed by a fellowship at NYU. With over 25 years of clinical experience, she currently directs the FPMRS program at White Plains Hospital Center and serves as Assistant Clinical Professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Fleischmann is the author of The Second Mouth: One Woman's Journey to Decode a Hidden Language for a New Era of Women's Health. Her integrative approach blends science and somatic awareness, helping women reconnect mind and body for lifelong pelvic health. Episode Timeline 0:00 – Introduction Dr. Gillian introduces the podcast theme of aging youthfully and welcomes Dr. Nicole Fleischmann to discuss pelvic health, aging, and the nervous system. 4:00 – Why Dr. Fleischmann Wrote The Second Mouth Nicole shares her motivation: translating intuitive understanding into a narrative that reframes pelvic floor function as neurological and energetic, not just mechanical. 6:30 – Urinary Issues and Aging Discussion of prevalence: incontinence affects up to 80% of women by age 80. Why pelvic floor dysfunction is universal yet misunderstood. 8:30 – What Is Embodied Awareness? Nicole defines “interoception” — tuning in to how your body feels from the inside — and why it's critical to aging well. 10:40 – What is the Second Mouth? How the pelvic floor functions like a jaw and why “opening” it via breath awareness is crucial to urination and defecation. 14:00 – Dysfunctional Urination Explained Dr. Fleischmann describes the three common (and harmful) ways women urinate and how proper breathwork can retrain this system. 17:30 – Childhood Origins of Dysfunction How toilet training ingrains habits of pushing, setting the stage for adult dysfunction — and what neurological milestones are missed. 21:30 – The Medical Establishment's Blind Spot Nicole explains why mainstream urogynecology hasn't caught up and why breathwork offers a path beyond surgery and drugs. 23:30 – Why Not Kegels? A passionate critique of Kegels and chest breathing — and how both disrupt pelvic harmony and nervous system regulation. 26:30 – The Sniff Technique Demonstration of a simple sniffing maneuver to engage the diaphragm and drop the pelvic floor — a key to functional urination and core stability. 29:00 – Unconscious Behaviors and Structural Damage Exploring how daily habits like pushing to urinate can lead to prolapse and why posture and breath matter more than strength. 33:00 – The One Habit to Build Today Dr. Fleischmann's no-nonsense advice: stop sucking in your belly. Let it out to free your diaphragm and align your body for healthy aging. 36:00 – Takeaway Message Breath is the key to nervous system regulation. Awareness can't be explained — it must be felt.

Episode 327: Bladder Leakage Is Common, But That Doesn't Mean It's Normal — with Dr. Alex Rogers I'm joined this week by my brilliant colleague and fellow urologist, Dr. Alex Rogers, for a candid, informative conversation about something way too many people silently struggle with: bladder leakage. We're two urologists talking all things pee — from stress incontinence to overactive bladder, and everything in between. Whether you're dealing with a sudden urge to run to the bathroom, leaking when you laugh or sneeze, or you're just confused about what's going on down there, this episode is for you. We break down the two most common types of bladder leakage — overactive bladder and stress urinary incontinence — and explain why they require totally different treatment approaches. We also talk about the huge impact of hormones on bladder health, especially in menopause (yes, estrogen matters here too!). Dr. Rogers and I dive into: Why bladder leakage is so common — and why we shouldn't normalize it The real science behind overactive bladder Why Botox is an underutilized but super effective treatment option How pelvic floor therapy fits into the bigger picture What's new and exciting in urology (hello, neuromodulation and telehealth) The frustrating role of insurance in limiting access to care How to find a provider who actually knows what they're doing when it comes to bladder health This isn't just a “deal with it” issue — it's a quality of life issue. And the good news? There are solutions. Real, evidence-based, life-changing options. But only if we talk about it. So let's talk. Takeaways: Bladder leakage is common but under-discussed Hormonal changes play a huge role in bladder function Overactive bladder ≠ stress incontinence — and treatments vary Botox is a powerful and underutilized option Telemedicine and new tech are changing the game Education empowers patients to advocate for better care Insurance hurdles are real — and we need to fight for better access Find the right specialist — not all care is created equal Let's stop suffering in silence and start empowering ourselves and our patients with facts, not shame.

Bladder leaks, dryness, and low libido aren't exactly dinner table topics… but maybe they should be. These issues are way more common than we think, especially during and after menopause, and they have a huge impact on how we feel day to day. That's why I sit down with Dr. Rena Malik, a Board-Certified Urologist and Sexual Medicine Specialist who's made it her mission to talk about the things most people won't. We talk about everything from pelvic floor problems to how hormones like estrogen and testosterone affect our sexual health and bladder function. Dr. Rena shares why stress makes things worse (yep, even your bladder feels it), and how simple things like breathing or pelvic floor therapy can help you get back in tune with your body. She also breaks down what options are really worth exploring—like vaginal estrogen, testosterone therapy, and a few new treatments you may not have heard of yet. If your body's been sending signals you've been ignoring, consider this your sign to tune in and start listening. And hey, if you're in the mood to give your body a little extra support, I've been loving the new Mighty Maca Mango lately. It's refreshing, light, and packed with all the superfood goodness—plus, it tastes amazing in sparkling water (or turned into a popsicle).

That's a normal thing. And it's not. And same thing with UTIs. They're not normal." [00:11:45] – Dr. Rena Malik "I would argue that scheduling intimacy is probably one of the underrated tools that people use. We schedule date night to go have dinner and talk.

When symptoms move through me, the first place I want to discuss it is here on this podcast. This week I have had some pain, and my JournalSpeak revealed some interesting patterns in my life that it may be time to challenge. I have always had an innate desire to control things, people, situations... am I alone? When I am unable to do so, sometimes my body clocks the danger. Yet, when I reflect on these impulses, I have to admit - I'm not so sure if they are "working." Today I invite you into my heart and mind. Hopefully my insights will shed some light on your own stuck places. Sending big love! xoxo n.

If bladder issues in menopause are keeping you from jumping for bone density or for jumping for joy. Or if laughing and sneezing or a need to consider hydration needs against access to a bathroom are real life and every day concerns you… we've got you today. Bladder issues in menopause don't need to keep you from activities, and they may come with signs and symptoms that aren't the obvious urgency, burning or leakage. The information here about testing beyond traditional options just might make you want to re-listen and share this one. My Guest: Dr Kelly McCann is a board certified internist and pediatrician specializing in functional, integrative and environmental medicine. She graduated Brown undergrad, Tulane Med School, fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Her medical practice, the Spring Center, is located in Southern California. She hosted virtual summits on MCAS and can be found on many podcasts, summits and @drkellymccann. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:09:09] What is a bacterial biofilm and how does that relate to bladder issues in women? [00:08:21] How do you know if you have a biofilm colonization? [00:13:26] Can you explain the testing technology and how it differs from a urinalysis and urine culture? [00:25:09] Other than UTIs and bladder issues, what might be some other signs that bacterial biofilms might be an issue? [00:26:55] Are there other things that we should understand about this? (often associated with hypercoagulability which can mean an increased risk for heart disease) [00:30:58] Are there other options before or instead of antibiotics? If you personally got results back suggesting you do have bacteria, would you go the route of herbs or antibiotics? [00:35:00] Cost of the test? And is it covered? Bacterial Biofilm as Bladder Issues in Menopause What is a Bacterial Biofilm? Mucus-like structures where bacteria live, can be found in the mouth, nose, GI tract, vagina, etc. These bacterial “homes” protect microbes from detection in standard lab tests. That means you can have symptoms, but your test results still show “normal.” What is Next Generation Sequencing? Gives a complete and accurate picture of what's causing your symptoms, even when your urinalysis and cultures are ‘normal'. Procedure: Scans the DNA of everything present in your sample (e.g. urine). Matches it to a vast DNA library of known organisms. Identifies exactly which microbes are in your bladder, how many, and in what percentages. Recommends treatment options by checking the medical literature for which antibiotics are effective against each bacteria. MicroGenDX does this test. Signs You Might Have Biofilm Colonization: Chronic bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, burning) without a confirmed UTI Recurrent UTIs that don't resolve or keep returning “Normal” urine tests but ongoing discomfort Other unexplained inflammation-driven symptoms like fatigue, rashes, headaches, joint pain, and more. Relation to Heart Disease: Bacteria can travel from brushing your teeth and can end up in your coronary arteries and bladder. Biofilms can trigger clot formation for individuals who are genetically predisposed to forming clots or fibrin mesh. Systemic inflammation risk for individuals with low-level bacterial colonization that their body Connect with Kelly: Website - Dr. Kelly McCann Website - The Spring Center Facebook - Dr. Kelly McCann Instagram - @drkellymccann Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Solving Sleep Issues with CBD and Other Perimenopause Symptom Solutions Next Episode - What Stem Cell Therapy Taught Me About Recovery, Mindset, and Reinventing Downtime More Like This - True Core Confidence: Revolutionizing Pelvic Floor Fitness After 40 Resources: Short & Easy Exercise videos in this 5 Day Flip Challenge.

If you've ever been prescribed medication for overactive bladder, you might wonder what it's actually doing and what the risks are. In this episode, I break down the two main types of medications used to treat OAB: anticholinergics and beta-3 agonists. We'll talk about how they work, the side effects (including memory concerns), and how to weigh the benefits and risks. I also explore alternative options like Botox and nerve stimulation, and why shared decision-making with your provider matters more than ever. If bladder urgency or leaking has been part of your life, this episode will help you make informed, confident choices about your treatment path.For more information on this topic: https://journals.lww.com/fpmrs/abstract/2017/05000/augs_consensus_statement__association_of.4.aspx#:~:text=Given%20the%20available%20evidence%2C%20which,medications%20in%20patients%20at%20risk.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34213600/Timeline00:30 Introduction to Overactive Bladder 00:48 Behavioral Treatments for Overactive Bladder 00:57 Medications for Overactive Bladder 01:18 Anticholinergic Medications and Memory Concerns 01:37 Types of Medications for Overactive Bladder 03:55 Studies on Anticholinergics and Cognitive Impairment 03:23 Clinical Guidelines and Recommendations 04:26 Prevalence and Types of Overactive Bladder 05:00 Side Effects and Risk Factors 05:38 Research Findings on Anticholinergics 08:32 Considerations for Prescribing Medications 10:38 Alternative Treatments and Final Thoughts
Episode 194: Acute low back pain. Future Dr. Ibrahim presents a clinical case to explain the essential points in the evaluation of back pain. Future Dr. Redden adds information about differentiating between a back strain and more serious diseases such as cancer, and Dr. Arreaza shares information about returning to work after back strain.Written by Michael Ibrahim, MSIV. Editing and comments by Jordan Redden, MSIV, and Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Dr. Arreaza:Welcome back, everyone. Today's topic is one that every primary care provider, emergency doctor, and even specialist sees routinely: low back pain. It's so common that studies estimate up to 80% of adults will experience it at some point in their lives. But despite how frequent it is, the challenge is to identify which cases are benign and which demand urgent attention.Jordan:Exactly. Low back pain is usually self-limiting and mechanical in nature, but we always need to keep an eye out for the rare but serious causes: things like infection, malignancy, or neurological compromise. That's why a good history and physical exam are our best tools right out of the gate.Michael:And to ground this in a real example, let me introduce a patient we saw recently. John is a 45-year-old warehouse worker who came in with two weeks of lower back pain that started after lifting a 50-lb box. He describes it as a dull, aching pain that radiates from his lower back down the posterior left thigh into the calf. He says it gets worse with bending or coughing, but he feels better when lying flat. He also mentioned some numbness in his left foot, but he denies any bowel or bladder issues. His vitals are completely normal. On exam, he had lumbar paraspinal tenderness, a positive straight leg-raise at 40 degrees on the left and decreased sensation in the L5 dermatome, though reflexes were still intact.Dr. Arreaza:That's a great case. Let's take a minute and talk about the straight leg raise test. This is a bedside tool we use to assess for lumbar nerve root irritation often caused by a herniated disc. ***Here's how it works: the patient lies supine, and you slowly raise their straight leg. If pain radiates below the knee between 30° and 70°, that suggests radiculopathy, especially involving the L5 or S1 nerve roots. Pain at higher angles is more likely due to hamstring tightness or mechanical strain.Michael:Right. So, stepping back: what do we mean by "low back pain"? Broadly, it's any pain localized to the lumbar spine, but it's often classified by type or cause:Mechanical (like muscle strain or degenerative disc disease), Radicular (nerve root involvement), Referred pain (like from pelvic or abdominal organs), Inflammatory (AS), and Systemic or serious causes like infection or malignancy. Jordan:In John's case, we're thinking radicular pain, most likely from a herniated disc compressing the L5 nerve root. That's supported by the dermatomal numbness, the leg pain, and that positive straight leg test.Dr. Arreaza:Good reasoning. Now, anytime we see back pain, our brains should run a checklist for red flags. These help us pick up more serious causes that require urgent attention. Let's run through the red flags.Michael:Sure. For fracture, we think about major trauma or even minor trauma in the elderly, especially those with osteoporosis or on chronic steroids. Also, anyone over 70 years old.Jordan:Then we have infections, which could include things like discitis, vertebral osteomyelitis, or epidural abscess. Red flags include fever, IV drug use, recent surgery, or immunosuppression.Michael:Malignancy is another critical one, especially if there's a history of breast, prostate, lung, kidney, or thyroid cancer. Clues include unexplained weight loss, night pain, or constant pain not relieved by rest.Jordan:And don't forget about inflammatory back pain, like ankylosing spondylitis, which is often seen in younger patients with morning stiffness that lasts more than 30 minutes and improves with activity.Dr. Arreaza:And of course, we always rule out cauda equina syndrome: a surgical emergency. That's urinary retention or incontinence, saddle anesthesia, bilateral leg weakness, or fecal incontinence. Missing this diagnosis can be catastrophic.Michael:Thankfully, in John's case, we don't see any red flags. His presentation is classic for uncomplicated lumbar radiculopathy. But we must stay vigilant, because sometimes patients don't offer up key symptoms unless we ask directly.Jordan:And that's where associated symptoms help guide us. For example:Radicular symptoms like numbness or weakness follow dermatomal patterns. Constitutional symptoms like fever or weight loss raise red flags. Bladder/bowel changes or saddle anesthesia raise alarms for cauda equina. Pain that wakes patients up at night might point to malignancy. Dr. Arreaza:So when do we order labs or imaging?Michael:Not right away. For most patients with acute low back pain, imaging is not needed unless they have red flags. If infection is suspected, we'd get CBC, ESR, and CRP. For cancer, maybe PSA or serum protein electrophoresis. And if inflammatory back disease is suspected, HLA-B27 can be helpful.Jordan:Yes, imaging should be delayed for at least six weeks unless red flags or significant neurologic deficits are present. When we do image, MRI is our go-to especially for suspected radiculopathy or cauda equina. X-rays can help if we're thinking about fractures, but they won't show soft tissue or nerve root issues.Michael:In the example from our case, since the patient doesn't have red flags, we'd go with conservative management: start NSAIDs and recommend activity modification. As this is the acute setting, physical therapy would not be recommended.Jordan:For the acute phase, research shows no serious difference between those with PT and those without in the long term. However, physical therapy is really the cornerstone of management for chronic back pain. It's not just movement: it's education, body mechanics, and teaching patients how to move safely. And PT can actually reduce opioid use, imaging, and injections down the line for patient struggling with long term back pain.Dr. Arreaza:Yes, and PT is not one-size-fits-all. PT might include McKenzie exercises, manual therapy, postural retraining, or even neuromuscular re-education. The goal is always to build core stability, promote healthy movement patterns, and reduce fear of motion.Jordan:Let's take a minute to talk about the McKenzie Method, a physical therapy approach used to treat lumbar disc herniation by identifying a specific movement, (often spinal extension) that reduces or centralizes pain. A common exercise is the prone press-up, (cobra pose for yoga fans) where the patient lies face down and pushes the upper body upward while keeping the hips on the floor to relieve pressure on the disc. These exercises should be done carefully, ideally under professional guidance, and discontinued if symptoms worsen.Michael:For our case patient, our working diagnosis is mechanical low back pain with L5 radiculopathy. No imaging needed now, no red flags. We'll treat conservatively and educate him about proper lifting, staying active, and recovery expectations.Jordan:We also emphasized to him that bed rest isn't helpful. In fact, bed rest can make things worse. Keeping active while avoiding heavy lifting for now is key.Dr. Arreaza:Return-to-work recommendations should be individualized. For example, an office worker, positioning while working, or work hours may be able to return to work promptly. However, those with physically demanding jobs may need light duty or be off work.Ice: no evidence of benefit. Heat: may reduce pain and disability in pain of less than 3 months, although the benefit was small and short.And we should always teach safe lifting techniques: bend at the knees, keep the load close, avoid twisting. It's basic knowledge, but it is very effective in preventing recurrence.Jordan:Now, if a patient fails to improve after 6 weeks of conservative therapy, or if they develop new neurologic deficits, that's when we think about referral to spine specialists or surgical consultation.Michael:And as previously mentioned: in cases where back pain becomes chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks) a multidisciplinary approach works best. That can include:Physical therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) And sometimes pain management interventions. Jordan:We can't forget the psychological toll either. Chronic back pain is associated with depression, anxiety, and opioid dependence. Increased risk factors include obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and previous back injuries.Dr. Arreaza:Well said. So, let's summarize. Michael?Michael:Sure! Low back pain is common, and most cases are benign. But we have to know the red flags that point to serious pathology. A focused history and physical exam are more powerful than many people realize. And the first step in treatment is almost always conservative, with a strong emphasis on maintaining physical activity.Jordan:And don't underestimate the value of patient education. Helping patients understand their pain, set realistic expectations, and stay active is often just as important as the medications or therapies we offer.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

Bladder cancer remains a significant clinical concern, with more than 85,000 new diagnoses and nearly 19,000 deaths reported annually in the United States. While current treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation can be effective for early-stage disease, many patients with advanced or recurrent cancer face limited options. A recent review, published in Oncotarget by researchers from the University of California, Irvine, analyzes the growing body of evidence supporting the combination of radiation therapy and immunotherapy for bladder cancer. Led by Nazmul Hasan, the work synthesizes clinical data and biological mechanisms that suggest this strategy could enhance anti-tumor responses in specific patient groups.

If you've tried lifestyle changes and medications for overactive bladder, but you're still dealing with urgency, frequency, or leaks, you're not out of options. In this episode, I break down tibial nerve stimulation, a lesser-known but powerful treatment for overactive bladder that's often overlooked in early care plans.I discuss what neuromodulation means in pelvic health, and how it works, why the tibial nerve (yes, the one near your ankle!) plays a key role in calming bladder activity, the differences between transcutaneous, percutaneous, and implant-based tibial nerve stimulation, what to expect from the procedure, how often it's done, and why so many women tolerate it well, and the best part? Minimal side effects and multiple delivery methods make this a versatile, low-risk option for many women, especially if medications haven't worked.For more information on this subject, check out:S2E12: Finding Freedom with Sacral Nerve StimulationS2E35:Innovations in Overactive Bladder Solutions with Isaac OppenheimLivezida.comAvation.comTimeline00:30 Introduction to Tibial Nerve Stimulation 01:14 Understanding Neuromodulation 02:05 Causes and Symptoms of Overactive Bladder 03:13 Sacral Nerve Stimulation Overview04:21 Focusing on Tibial Nerve Stimulation 06:18 Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation 11:47 Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation 16:20 Conclusion and Future Episodes
In the US, an estimated 70-75% of women who give birth use an epidural for pain relief during labor. Epidural anesthesia during labor can affect bladder function by delaying the return of bladder sensation and potentially leading to urinary retention. This can be due to the nerves that control bladder function being affected by the epidural, reducing the sensation of bladder fullness and the urge to urinate. Intrapartum, there is no universal guidance regarding bladder management with labor epidural analgesia (LEA). Does one method of bladder care intrapartum affect mode of delivery more than the other? Is it better to have an indwelling catheter or to perform intermittent caths. What about patient self-voiding with a bedpan. Let's summarize the data.

If you've ever joked about “peeing just a little” when you sneeze, or you're the kind of person who always has to know where the bathroom is, this one's for you. Vanessa is sharing her personal (and super vulnerable) journey with bladder issues: how it started, the surprising symptoms, the anxiety it caused, and the expert-backed tools and tricks that actually helped. We asked our community if they've experienced bladder problems — and 62% of women said yes. So if you're in that group, or just curious to hear a side of health and intimacy we've never talked about before, tune in. This episode might just be a game changer for you. Here's a peek at what we cover: That awkward moment when you realize… something's off The role of pelvic floor physical therapy (and who V followed to learn more) Bad habits no one tells you are actually bad The urologist visit from hell (you won't believe what they said) How Vanessa trained her bladder like a dog (yes, really) Small changes that made a HUGE difference — and why Vanessa finally sleeps through the night Disclaimer: This episode is based on personal experience and is not intended as medical advice.
