The 3 C's that frequently factor, when I'm talking to women with pelvic floor dysfunction are 1) Comfort - not only of prolapse, but of pessaries and general pelvic cavity comfort. 2) Conditioning - not only how exercise can trigger pelvic floor symptoms, but also how symptoms can be managed (and improved) with effective exercise practice! 3) Confidence - The biggie! Confidence, not only aesthetically, but also more generally. From exploring intimacy and new sexual partners, to confidence out socially, when you're not sure how your pelvic floor might behave (or not!)And the link to receive 20% off my next 6 Week: Transform Your Core & Pelvic Floor is www.FitFannyAdams.com/PODCASTVIP but Only until April 1st 2023!Which 'C' affects you most?

In episode 330 I interview Avril about her two birth experiences under private obstetric care. Her first baby was diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and after weekly ultrasounds from 30 weeks, she opted to be induced at 38 weeks. Following hours of posterior labour, she chose to have an epidural and because of her baby's posterior position and deflexed head, a forceps-assisted birth was necessary. Avril had a postpartum haemorrhage and was diagnosed with a prolapse, both of which contributed to birth trauma. Her second birth was a positive induction where she advocated for what she wanted; a slow release syntocinon drip and a light epidural so she had more awareness and control while birthing.
Physiotherapist Eryn Matheson joins us to talk all things pessary: what they are, how they can help with pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, and how to get fitted.

Eryn also drops a truth bomb on the ONE thing you can do to protect your pelvic floor health over the course of your lifetime, and it's not what you think!

Dr. Lamia Gabal is a Urologist with a sub-specialty in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. She talks about all kinds of concerns women bring to a Urologist, information about the treatment options, and how to go about it. Sexual issues that bring women to urologists Women come to urologists for various kinds of sexual concerns. While traditionally urologists were thought to be “Male gynecologists”, Dr Lamia says urologists deal with much more than that. Women come with issues of Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Tract Infection, orgasmic dysfunction, female sexual dysfunction, libido issues, and more. Many women who come with these concerns back away from having sex with their partners because of the embarrassment they feel around it. Sometimes fixing their medical problems also helps them with their sex lives. While male concerns around this subject are already well understood and treated, female sexual dysfunction has only received a “trash can diagnosis”, says Dr. Lamia. There are several types of female sexual dysfunctions and each needs to be treated accordingly. Urologists also deal with hormonal changes and core dysfunction. Thinning of vaginal tissue as women age can also lead to sexual dysfunction. Pelvic organs prolapse after childbirth can also lead to sexual dysfunction and can be painful. Medical concerns that drive women away from having sex There's an overlap of urologists and gynecologists in the sub-specialty of female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, with each performing their roles. However, not all urologists or gynecologists specialize in the field Dr Lamia does. She categorizes the kinds of concerns patients come in by their age. While most of her patients are post-childbirth age, she also treats young women who come in with issues of painful sex which could be pelvic floor dysfunction or dyspareunia and is usually associated with sexual trauma or PTSD. Women who are of child-bearing age often come in with recurring Urinary Tract infections. Women who are getting older and are past having kids struggle with pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and fecal incontinence. All the concerns Dr. Lamia mentioned can drive women away from having sex or from having a satisfying sex life. According to Dr. Lamia's advice, women who experience Urinary Tract Infections that have constipation, pelvic prolapse, and vaginal atrophy (thinning of vaginal tissues) should consult a urologist. Where does sex intersect in terms of conversations with patients? As a doctor, there's no training you get in medical school that prepares you to have these conversations about sex with your patients. It's often one's interest to seek out more information and awareness that leads to these conversations with patients. Dr Lamia says it's important to talk about sex with their patients to provide better health care, it aids in understanding how it affects their body and to make important decisions. However, most doctors don't have these conversations for reasons of not having enough time or not being comfortable enough. Sometimes because of the assumption that an older patient might not be sexually active, which should not be done. Pelvic Organ Prolapse – treatment options Pelvic Organ Prolapse commonly occurs after childbirth and is more common with vaginal deliveries. All of these factors put pressure on organs making them lean into the vaginal wall. It increases the risk of urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and UTIs, and the most severe case can cause kidney dysfunction. It can be treated by “Pessary” which delays or prevents the need for surgery. Surgeries like cystocele repair, rectocele repair, and slings for incontinence are also an option, but patients can expect them to be redone after 15-20 years. It can impede sexual intercourse when the patient is constipated or something else. The surgery fixes vaginal laxity caused by this which can benefit sexual intercourse for both partners. Treatment options for Urinary Tract Infections To treat Urinary Tract Infection, all the other causes of the infection has to be ruled out through either a physical exam, an ultrasound of the kidneys, or a cystoscopy. Dr. Gabal explains some treatments that could help such as maintaining good sexual hygiene, treating constipation, emptying bowels regularly, consuming fiber and a lot of water, peeing before and after sex, using plenty of lubrication that isn't “warmed or flavored” can help to reduce the infection. Using antibiotics after intercourse and using probiotics to normalize vaginal bacteria can also help. She suggests supplements like cranberry and D-mannose prevent certain types of UTIs. Conditions That Can Cause Sexual Pain Dr. Lamia talks about pelvic floor dysfunction as the most common cause of dyspareunia or painful sex. It causes mild pelvic floor muscle spasm to vaginismus where the vagina doesn't open and causes pain. To treat this, she suggests soaking in a tub, putting heat on the area, or taking muscle relaxant drugs prescribed by the doctor. Pelvic floor physical therapy is the most effective of all and is done by specially trained pelvic floor physical therapists. Post-menopausal vaginal atrophy could also be the cause. She talks about birth control as an understated cause that causes thinning of vaginal tissue and a change in PH levels causing painful sex. She recommends putting topical testosterone mixed with estrogen to treat it. Biography Dr. Lamia Gabal, MD, FPMRS, is a board-certified physician who specializes in several areas of medicine, including urology and restorative surgeries. Dr Gabal has more than 20 years of experience in the field of general medicine and urology. The doctor and her staff take great pride in offering many of the newest, cutting-edge treatment options and strive to continually provide the latest in technological advancements. She graduated from the University of California at San Diego Medical School in 1995 and performed two separate residencies at the UCSD Medical Center. She was the recipient of the “Patient's Choice Award” from 2011 to 2013. Currently, Dr Gabal serves residents of Southern California at Prestige Medical Group in Santa Ana, CA.

Meet Dr. Lubahn – Mom, entrepreneur, urologist and creator of https://ondrwear.com/ Learn about both of our crazy stories about becoming urologists. Incontinence is very common. 50% of women!!! There are common reasons that people leak. Stress incontinence – increase in abdominal pressure – leaking with cough, sneeze, laugh. It is a pelvic support problem. Urge incontinence – “I gotta go now!!” It is a bladder problem. Overflow incontinence – the bladder can't empty well, so it overflows with urine. The myth of “incontinence is normal when we get older”. Lifestyle changes – watch the amount of fluids you take in. Avoid or decrease caffeine and alcohol. Strengthen your pelvic floor with physical therapy. Use a Pessary or Poise Impressa. Surgery for Stress Incontinence – urethral bulking agents, midurethral slings Learn how Dr. Lubahn's quest for baby diapering solutions lead her to make the perfect underwear for women.

In this episode, I speak with mother-of-one Shani McGee about her entry to motherhood and Fourth Trimester with her daughter Harper.Shani takes us through her ventouse delivery and subsequent days at Birthcare where she felt great physically but her anxiety began to take hold. We cover her breastfeeding journey which seemed easy at first but resulted in Harper not gaining weight so Shani decided to transition to formula feeding, of which we discuss the things she loved about it, as well as the challenges such as judgment from others. Shani openly speaks of her discovery and diagnosis of her stage three uterine prolapse and the recovery which included seeing a postpartum physio and wearing a pessary. She also bravely speaks about the ensuing anxiety that came about from this and how she sought professional help over a number of months from a therapist. As difficult as this has been for Shani, she looks at what her recovery has given her: presence with her daughter.Follow Shani McGee on Instagram. Follow her childrenswear brand, Everyday.

In today’s episode, I speak with the incredibly knowledgeable Caitlin Day, mum of one and a qualified women's, men's and pelvic health physio. She goes by The Vagina Physio on Instagram so that says it all really - we talk about vaginas.. a lot. But we also go over c-section recovery, sex after birth, returning to exercise and above all else, what ideal postnatal recovery looks like. Therefore, we also cover what lies outside of that as pelvic floor issues, such as prolapse, vaginal tightness, abdominal separation, and discomfort during sex. We go into detail about pessaries too. You’ll quickly discover from our chat that despite it often being regarded as such, leakage or pain 'down there' doesn’t have to be your new normal, but it is really common. My hope for anyone listening to this conversation is that if you feel like something’s not right ‘down there’ that my chat with Caitlin makes you feel at ease and empowered to take your pelvic health into your own hands and consult a physio. I’m 12 months postpartum and I’ve booked in to see Caitlin myself, so even if you, like me, don’t think you have any issues, consider this permission (not that you really need it but sometimes it’s nice to be reminded) to put yourself first and get your pelvic floor checked by a professional. This episode is not sponsored, I reached out to Caitlin myself. If you'd like to book in for a postpartum pelvic health consultation with her, visit www.innercorephysio.co.nz and keep an eye out on Instagram to hear when Cailtin's new physio and pilates studio, Unity Studios will be open.Thanks so much, Caitlin!Follow Caitlin Day of The Vagina Physio on Instagram.

There was so much positive feedback from Episode 37: The Awkward Truth About Your Pelvic Floor that Amber invited her husband and urogynecologist Dr. Taylor Brueseke back on the podcast to answer your questions. Listen in as they talk all about pesseries, pelvic prolapse surgery, and if you really can damage your bladder by holding your pee for too long.
We start the episode chatting about our Clarity and how it feels. It feels GOOD. Julia feels good about where she is, where she wants to go. “Clarity on the NO.” We coined a new phrase! Sarah feels clear about a few things she does NOT want to do - and what she wants to focus on. We are looking ahead to 2019 and our Menopodcast Empire - or Menopyre, if you will. We’re planning to use the 12-week Year to achieve our goals - check out the book. It’s a super-detailed system for how to get things done. We quote Dr. Phil: What’s the story you’re going to tell yourself when you don’t achieve this thing? Bible Study: Chapters 7, 8, & 9 Menopause Confidential by Dr. Tara Allmen - you can buy it - we love this book! Chapter 7 of the book is called “What’s the Skinny on Weight Gain?” According to the book, it’s about aging, not about menopause. Boom. It’s about our metabolism has slowed down. The Dr. wants us to talk about gaining better health, and not losing weight. Sarah wishes she could lose weight, but would not care about the Number, if she FELT thin and her clothes fit better. Julia lost 15 pounds in the first part of the year, and has gained back 7. She’s struggling with her food choices. Julia realizes there’s no point wearing clothes that don’t fit - so she got a pair of comfy jeans. We discuss how uncomfortable Spanx are. Sarah announces that she has a goal of running a 5K by the end of Q1. It’s a question of endurance for her. And her flexibility is lacking as well. Fitness goals! According to the book, it’s not rocket science - weight loss is a question of the way you eat, not the way you work out. Note - not all calories are created equal. Dr. Allmen calls it a “pattern of eating” instead of a diet. She mentions Weight Watchers as a method, because it helps teach you a good pattern of eating. She mentions a sad statistic - 52% of the vegetables Americans consume are potatoes and tomatoes, in the form of French fries, potato chips, ketchup and pizza sauce. We reminisce about foods from the 70s, like Banquet Fried Chicken and Swanson Frozen Dinners. Chapter 8 - “To Pee or Not to Pee?” Turns out not everyone who gets old needs to use Depends. Do your Kegels! It’s really important to have a strong Pelvic floor. Not just for the urinary incontinence… There are two types: Stress and Urge. Like laughing or coughing - and getting on a trampoline. But it can be related to a medical problem as well, so get that checked out. And then the Dr. mentions something called a Pessary, which we had never heard of, which is something that can help prevent stress incontinence. It’s kind of like a diaphragm, but it supports your urethra. Plus there are apparently physical therapists who can help with pelvic floor biofeedback - to help you teach yourself to strengthen those muscles. And we mention the dreaded bladder infections. Keep it clean! Chapter 9 - “Who is that Wrinkly Old Woman in the Mirror?” Sarah has sadly looked in the mirror and said that to herself recently. It feels like the wrinkles came on not that long ago and are exponentially multiplying. But both Sarah and Julia are bothered more by the age spots than the wrinkles. Ugh. Growing up in Hawaii, sunblock was when the cloud went overhead. We never used any, so we did damage to our skin years ago. Neither of us like to Tan anymore. Dr. Allmen mentions she has had some Botox. Julia and Sarah would like to get the eye lift probably because the droopy-ness bothers us. Sarah has researched getting her age spots removed, but isn’t interested in getting Botox. Sarah wants the age spots removed from her hands and has seen a new spot on her face. Double ugh. And smoking is very bad for your skin! Julia admits she’s a little judgy about smoking and wishes people would save their $$ and their health by not doing it. And the chapter also mentions how, as we age, our skins heals more slowly from wounds, too. It’s the lack of Estrogen. Hot Flashes? Nope! Yay!
Stress incontinence caused by lifting is extremely common, but not part of normal pelvic floor function. Cassi and Katherine start this conversation by discussing their different experiences with stress incontinence, including what they’ve discovered through research and physical therapy, and their strategies for managing pesky pee while under the barbell.

Author: Jared Scott, M.D. Educational Pearls: A pessary is a device inserted into the vagina for medical purposes. Examples include birth control and mechanical support of the pelvic structures. In older women, collapse of the pelvic structures is common, and many may have pessaries to aid in treatment. References: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2876320/
