A small leak during a big laugh might hint towards a bigger story. In this episode exploring the pelvic floor, Dr. Olga Ramm and patient Nicole Curutchet answer the age-old question- what's really going on down there? Nicole Curutchet starts off by sharing her experience of developing pelvic floor prolapse, which felt like a “tampon that's halfway coming out.” She tackles the issue of finding the right provider, and shares about her surgery and recovery. On speaking out despite stigma, she says, “this is our bodies and it's the truth, and we don't want people to suffer, so why not talk about it?” For many people with vaginas, pelvic floor leakage, pain, and other symptoms, are often dismissed as just a fact of life. Dr. Ramm and Nicole argue that it doesn't have to be that way. A variety of treatments exist for managing pelvic disorders, including physical therapy, insertable devices, and surgery. As Dr. Ramm reveals “birth remains the most common inciting injury to the pelvic floor...It's something that affects a whole lot of us.” Dr. Ramm also discusses research that shows that trauma of all kinds impacts the pelvic floor, “almost like a linear relationship between the number of adverse events that you report and the prevalence of chronic pelvic pain.” In a topic often characterized by silence, Dr. Ramm encourages providers to proactively ask about the pelvic floor. She emphasizes the value of informing patients about all the types of care available to them and respecting patient autonomy: “You don't have to follow a specific algorithm. Let the patient make the choice based on their individual values, their goals for themselves and their own personal case scenarios that they want to avoid.” Dr. Olga Ramm's Website: https://www.ucsfhealth.org/providers/dr-olga-ramm UCSF Center for Urogynecology and Women's Pelvic Health: https://www.ucsfhealth.org/clinics/center-for-urogynecology-and-womens-pelvic-health Study That Links Duration of Pushing Phase to Degree of Obstetric Anal Sphincter, Led By Dr. Olga Ramm Injuries: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29324610/ Chronic Pelvic Pain Society of North America: https://www.pelvicpain.org/public The Body Keeps the Score: https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score Past episodes of our podcast to follow this one up: Vagina Obscura: A Conversation with Rachel E.

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson interviews Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald, a urogynecologist specializing in pelvic floor disorders. They discuss the importance of open conversations about women's health, particularly regarding prolapse and the misconceptions surrounding childbirth. Dr. Fitzgerald shares her journey into social media advocacy, the challenges women face in understanding their health, and the need for better education and separate specialties in women's health. The conversation highlights the systemic issues in healthcare that affect women's treatment and the importance of empowering women with knowledge about their bodies. In this conversation, Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald and Dr. Kelly Casperson discuss the complexities of women's health, particularly focusing on menopause, the role of healthcare providers, and the challenges faced in the healthcare system. They emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach to women's health, the importance of vaginal health, and the radical nature of urogynecology as a feminist act. The discussion also touches on the future of OB-GYN, reproductive rights, and the necessity for women to take action in advocating for their health. Takeaways Prolapse is often misunderstood and not openly discussed. Education can reduce anxiety about childbirth and its consequences. Women often feel ashamed or broken due to health issues post-childbirth. IUD placement pain is often inadequately addressed in women's health. Obstetrics and gynecology should be separate specialties for better care. The healthcare system often undervalues women's health procedures. Women need to be informed about the risks associated with childbirth. Empowering women with knowledge can lead to better health outcomes. Ob-Gyns often lack knowledge about menopause-related issues. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for women's health. The healthcare system can be toxic and burdensome for providers. Urogynecology plays a crucial role in women's health post-childbirth. Vaginal estrogen is vital for maintaining vaginal health. Incontinence is a leading cause of nursing home admissions. Reproductive rights are under threat and require advocacy. Reliable male birth control could change societal dynamics. https://www.instagram.com/jjfitzgeraldmd/ Sedona in October: https://www.ascendretreats.com/menopause-and-sexual-health-2025 Order my book "You Are Not Broken: Stop "Should-ing" All Over You Sex Life" Listen to my Tedx Talk: Why we need adult sex ed Take my Adult Sex Ed Master Class: My Website Interested in my sexual health and hormone clinic?

Guest: Dr. Terry Dunn This is can be a very stressful time for everyone but women tend to juggling a lot of responsibilities over the holidays. Studies have shown nearly half the women have increased levels of stress and cortisol over the holidays compared to men. The most important thing women can do is make a plan and delegate task. If being organized and delegating task is hard for you then it is ok and let the stress go. One small thing you can do before going to a party is eat something health before you go and drink water, this will help you from overeating. Stay active if you have a workout routine. The most important part of all this is sharing time with your friends and family. Be realistic, don't beat yourself up, and except yourself is where you are. https://urogyns.com/

Guest: Dr. Terry Dunn There has been a recent study that has found 16 different metals in female hygiene products and not knowing the impact they can have on women’s bodies. They found in tampons metals such as lead, arsenic, iron, copper, zinc and mercury. Having these mentals in the body can cause health problems such as diabetes, fertility, dementia, and even cancer. Women should be on the lookout for changes in their menstrual cycle changes in cramping duration, heaviness of flow. It's so important that women know their body and know that health and wellness is important. https://urogyns.com/

After being unexpectedly recalled from his surgery fellowship at Yale to serve in Air Force hospitals during the first Gulf War, Dr. Red Alinsod discovered his passion for cosmetic gynecology.Following the war, Dr. Alinsod went on to build his career in pelvic reconstructive surgeries such as labiaplasty and vaginoplasty in Los Angeles. Later establishing his practice in Laguna Beach where most women are in their mid-40's, Dr. Alinsod became known as the “second chance doctor.” He specialized in restoring the moisture, blood flow, sensitivity, and bladder control women had in their 20's and 30's, often without the need for surgery.Through radiofrequency microneedling, lasers, Botox + PRP injections, and amniotic fluid injections, Dr. Alinsod is saving women's self esteem, intimacy, and comfort.Driven by his passion for advancing the specialty of cosmetic gynecology, Dr. Alinsod shares instructional videos on labial surgeries and non-surgical feminine rejuvenation treatments with other doctors through his online training platform, GynFlix.To learn more about Dr. Red AlinsodFollow Dr. Alinsod on Instagram @vageniusmdGynFlix online aesthetic gynecology trainingSubscribe to the feminine wellness newsletterSubscribe to the cosmetic gynecology newsletterSubscribe to the labiaplasty newsletterABOUT MEET THE DOCTOR The purpose of the Meet the Doctor podcast is simple. We want you to get to know your doctor before meeting them in person because you're making a life changing decision and time is scarce. The more you can learn about who your doctor is before you meet them, the better that first meeting will be.

Low sexual desire in women partnered with men is typically presumed to be a problem—one that exists in women and encourages a research agenda on causation and treatment targeting women. In this paper, we present a distinct way forward for research on low sexual desire in women partnered with men that attends to a more structural explanation: heteronormativity. A heteronormative worldview assumes that relationships and structures are heterosexual, gender (usually conflated with sex) is binary and complementary, and gender roles fit within narrow bounds including nurturant labor for women. We propose the heteronormativity theory of low sexual desire in women partnered with men, arguing that heteronormative gender inequities are contributing factors. We outline four hypotheses and their predictions related to: inequitable divisions of household labor, blurring of partner and mother roles, objectification of women, and gender norms surrounding sexual initiation. We discuss some mechanisms—social, physiological, and otherwise—for the heteronormativity theory, especially related to stress, objectification, and nurturance. We close by noting some limitations of our paper and the ways that the heteronormativity theory of low sexual desire in women partnered with men provides a rigorous, generative, and empirical way forward....Article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8382213/Andrea Martin, DNP, CRNP, WHNPAndrea is a board-certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, which enables her to offer reproductive and sexual health care to all genders.

March 22, 2024Mark, Scott, and Ray discuss the Change Health cyberattack, G2211 developments and questions that came into the PRS Network.We have been receiving denials for our Urodynamics appointments because authorization was obtained under a provider that differs from the provider that signed off on the note day of services. For non-medicare plans (and plans that do not adhere to 100% of medicare guidelines) are we able to have a provider that is not on-site at the time of the UDS appointment sign off on the note?We are a multi-specialty practice that all share one TIN. If we send an established patient to be seen by a provider that practices under a different taxonomy, can this provider then bill under a new patient encounter? For example, Urology refered to Urogynecology or if Oncology referred to Urology? Additionally, can these pts be seen by differing specialties, at different office locations on the same day?

In this episode, we discuss how important our pelvic floor is to our overall health with guest Ingrid Harm-Ernandes. Many women experience symptoms in the pelvic region during menopause. These are known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and are often not discussed with women as they transition through menopause.Ms. Harm-Ernandes is a physical therapist, board certified in Women's Health (WCS) and Pelvic Floor Biofeedback who has been specializing in women's health for 27 years. During her 20-year tenure at Duke University Health System, she treated a wide variety of pelvic patients in the Urogynecology and Physical Therapy (PT) clinics. In addition to her role as the Co-Director and a mentor for new Pelvic PTs in the Duke Women's Health Physical Therapy Residency Program, she was also responsible for the Women's Health team program development and participated in Pelvic Floor Disorder Network (PFDN) research projects.One of the frustrating things Ingrid encountered during her practice was how it would take patients experiencing symptoms decades before they would see her and get the help they needed. As a pelvic health PT specialist, she has addressed a myriad of pelvic health conditions that dramatically impact women's lives. She realized that there is a lack of education in pelvic health on both the practitioner's and patient's side. In 2021 she published her book, The Musculoskeletal Mystery - How To Solve Your Pelvic Floor Symptoms, which helps to better educate patients and practitioners about women's bodies, pelvic health conditions they may suffer, and what pelvic PT is all about. Her book contains guidance and support for those suffering from the physically, emotionally stressful, and often undiagnosed, pelvic floor disorders, pelvic pain, irritable bowel syndrome, endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, prostatitis, pain or discomfort during sex, and incontinence.Ingrid is a member of the National Menopause Foundation's Medical Advisory Committee (MAC). She is passionate about demystifying and destigmatizing this topic by providing individuals with the knowledge they need to advocate for themselves and get proper pelvic care. In this episode, Ingrid talks about:The importance of our pelvic floorThe effects of menopause on the pelvic floorThe importance of holistic health during menopauseThe value and importance of incorporating healthy habits and practices from an early age.Connect with Ingrid Harm-Ernandes, PT WCS, BCB-PMDLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingrid-harm-ernandes-5057773b/Instagram: @harmernandesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ingrid.harmernandes.71/Additional informational link:American Physical Therapy Association

In today's episode I get to introduce you to my friend Dr. Betsy Greenleaf. She is the First Board Certified Female Urogynecologist in the United States. She is also a Distinguished Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Obstetrics & Gynecology, a Premiere Women's Health Expert and a Motivational Speaker. Dr. Betsy was in private practice for almost 20 years and now she's building online experiences for women to heal themselves in the urogynecological area. Urogynecology is the area of medicine that covers the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the bladder, reproductive system, and rectum, including pelvic floor disorders. Urogynecologists can be urologists or gynecologists trained in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. Today we talk about urogynecology and general pelvic and vaginal health. What is a Pelvic Organ Prolapse? A uterine prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissue in your pelvis weaken. This allows your uterus to drop down into your vagina. Our pelvic organs are open to gravity because we don't have bone structures at the bottom of the pelvic floor. All we have is muscles and ligaments, and those ligaments are not even that strong, so anything that causes a lot of pressure, and the pelvis can rip and tear those ligaments. Then the uterus may not stay up where it's supposed to be, or the bladder, or the rectum, and then those three organs that are very close to each other and lean on each other can end up pushing each other out. Most commonly women who've had long and difficult pregnancies or have given birth to a large baby or multiple babies are at risk of a prolapse. Also, women who are chronically constipated, or do effort constantly like lifting heavy objects or gymnastics, or even people with asthma attacks or chronic bronchitis where they're hard coughing all the time, all these things are going to put a lot of pressure on the pelvic floor. How is a Pelvic Prolapse Treated? Surgery is an option that has been around for long, using the mesh as in hernia surgery, but they found out overtime that when you put mesh in the pelvic floor it doesn't work as well as it does when you put it in for hernia and there were some women who ended up developing problems over the years, so unfortunately there's not great surgery for this. Furthermore, these surgeries have shown to not be permanent so once you've had one surgery you're at higher risk of it dropping again and having to get another surgery. Some non-surgical options that are available include a device called a pessary which folds up inside the vagina and they just wedge in place so they can hold all the organs. Another option is prevention by strengthening the pelvic floor. Here is where Kegels which involve tightening and then releasing the muscles in your pelvic floor to strengthen them. We start losing 8 to 10% muscle mass every decade of our lives so if you don't start strengthening those muscles it's definitely going to be a factor of prolapse risk. Other exercises include sitting down and putting a ball or pillow between your legs and squeezing your knees together. Physical therapy can help too. It is important to start this therapy as soon as possible. For example, in France when women give birth they automatically get put into a physical therapy program after birth and not surprisingly France has the lowest rate of incontinence and prolapse. What About the Relationship Between the Pelvis and the Microbiome? There's now something called next generation sequencing where we can swap the vagina and we can see everything that's there and so we're getting a better understanding of what's going on with the microbiome of the vagina. With this advanced testing we're discovering other bacteria and so the exciting part about this is that women can now understand why some conventional treatments are not working for some issues. What they're finding out with these newer tests is that there's many more bacteria that are interacting in our bodies. In Dr. Betsy's case what happened was she was getting chronic yeast infections and the yeast medicines were not working. Then she started looking into the gut microbiome testing and finally found out that her gut was filled with yeast. So, a lot of times when you're someone getting vaginal symptoms it's really a symptom of a larger problem going on with the microbiome of the gut. So, in this case we need to balance the gut out to get the vagina healthy. What's even more interesting is that scientists are finding that there's this like microbiome connection between the vagina and the brain through the vagus nerve. So, if the bacteria in the vagina is off that is going to dampen our sex drive and a lot of women are going to their doctors thinking if they don't have a sex drive it must be hormonal, but it may be a microbiome issue. We have also seen evidence of more problems with infertility when the microbiome in the vagina is off. It really is exciting because it gives more treatment possibilities, it helps us to see and so women don't have to be just struggling with infertility, low libido, or chronic infections, when we can actually be detectives and identify the imbalances both in the urovaginal area and the gut. There are also natural ways to rebalance the microbiome in the vagina. We want the healthy bacteria to stay there and get the bad bacteria out. One way of doing this is balancing the PH in the vagina. The vagina is naturally very acidic and so in a very high acidic (3.5 to 4.5 acidity range) the healthy bacteria thrives, and the bad bacteria doesn't. One of the products that's out there is Boric Acid. Boric Acid will balance out the vagina whether it's yeast or bacteria. Are There Good and Bad Products to Use Vaginally? When it comes to cleaning, plain water is the best option. If we want to use soaps or other products, we should definitely look at the ingredients and stay away from sodium lauryl sulfate which can be very irritating and polypropylene glycol that is in a lot of woman's products that is a mucosal irritant. And avoid fragrances, dyes and detergents. Also, it's a good idea to avoid the use of lubricants because they can throw off the PH balance in the vagina. There are also some products out there that promote acidity in the vagina like lactic acid products, the only thing is if you have a milk allergy you kind of want to stay away from lactic acid. Also, there are some vaginal probiotics that come in suppositories that are over the counter that promote healthy bacteria growth. When it comes to vaginal douching we have to be careful because if you have a bacterial infection douching can spread that bacteria into the uterus, the fallopian tubes and into the abdominal cavity and that can make you really sick. The best thing to do to promote vaginal health is to also address your gut health as there is evidence that these systems are connected. The more you improve your gut health, drop inflammation, and get your digestion working as well as your gut bacteria the more you're going to see a positive impact in your vaginal microbiome and overall health. We can also see how the gut health is related to HPV, when you have a persistent HPV case one of the first things to do is to get your gut health and gut bacteria on point, this will in turn improve your vaginal acidity and microbiome and make it harder for the HPV virus to thrive. What About Regenerative Medicine for Pelvic Health? This is something that's changing every day. We're coming up with new options and treatments that could be done at home or at practitioner's offices. There's PRP which is when platelet-rich plasma is injected where stem cells multiply and grow new younger tissue. PRP can regenerate the vaginal tissue. This procedure works by stimulating stem cells to grow healthier vaginal tissue. There's also laser or light therapy to rejuvenate tissue using devices in the vagina that work on light energy, penetrating the tissue and making a little hole. Then the body reacts to heal that hole and it floods it with growth factors. There's radio frequency therapy using sound waves to generate heat to cause the tissue to regenerate. We're kind of entering this world where anything that's being done for rejuvenation purposes cosmetically is now being applied to the vagina and other areas of the pelvic floor too. Doing all these things in combination can give people better results because they work on the tissue in different ways.

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Dee Fenner, Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor. She walks us through her journey to medicine, Ob/Gyn and ultimately, Urogynecology. She shares insight into her past as a trainee during a time at which there were very few female medical students and even fewer female physician mentors to turn to. And we round out the episode with Dr. Fenner offering her advice to any women pursuing leadership positions, giving actionable guidance on how to navigate doing it well but also authentically. Not only is Dr. Fenner a force of nature in pioneer in the field of Ob/Gyn, but she is also an incredible mentor and teacher. We are so excited to share this episode with you and will be thinking about her advice for years to come!

“Vaginal Rejuvenation” is a term tossed around in movies, TV shows and social media, but how many of us actually know what it is? Some think it's all about nipping and tucking for better sex. Others think it's a procedure to beautify the outer and inner parts of female genitals for that “Barbie-effect”. But A LOT of us have no clue what vaginal rejuvenation entails. In general, it's a broad term that encompasses anything that alters the vulva (the external portions of the genitals) or the vagina (the internal portions of the genitals). But the truth is, any kind of vaginal treatment, both elective and non-elective, shouldn't be taken lightly and should be thoroughly understood from a medical perspective before diving in. There are a lot of false claims being made out there, especially since the business of vaginal rejuvenation is now a multi-billion dollar industry. May, Kelly and Tamlyn try and separate fact from fiction with the help of a leading expert in Urogynecology who specializes in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Cheryl Iglesia knows what's going on “below the belly” and she has A LOT to say about how women need to rethink their perspective on their bodies and their sexual health. This episode is bursting with incredible information and, at times, some blush-worthy and squirm inducing moments, but it's all worth it! And many thanks to our very first show sponsor Le Mieux! We have a special segment how we care for and rejuvenate our skin so you'll want to stay tuned for those tips! For more information about Le Mieux, go to lemieuxskincare.comNOTE: Some of the content in this episode is explicit, but very educational for mature audiences.

In this episode, Dr. Oakley & Holly will go over some of your questions below: • I am 44 years old and about 6 months ago, I had an issue with an itchy bottom. It is not all the time, but it seems to be worse when it is time for my monthly menses. I didn't ask the doctor when I had my recent pap smear, but he said everything looked normal. However, I am really embarrassed by it. What could be causing my vagina to itch so much? • Do hormone balancing supplements work? If so is there one you recommend? I'm wondering about it for weight, hot flashes, night sweats etc... I've been told I'm not in any stages of menopause but I'm having trouble with all of these things at 40. Any advice or help would be appreciated. • What can you use/do to feel fresh after having intercourse, since douching is not recommended? Thank you for listening.

In this bonus segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee discuss pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery with urogynecologist Dr. Shashoua of Austin Urogynecology. Dr. Shashoua treats conditions including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and bowel incontinence. When organs prolapse, or protrude into the vagina, it causes both functional and cosmetic issues. Depending on the severity of the prolapse, there are non-surgical interventions like silicon pessary devices that give support to prolapsing organs. For more difficult cases, reconstructive surgery can restore quality of life and sexual function. Dr. Shashoua also offers cosmetic surgery options including labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, and other procedures that are growing in popularity.

Pelvic health dysfunction is something that is rarely discussed. Most often than not, people with pelvic health conditions choose to suffer in silence due to embarrassment and lack of knowledge on where to get help. In today's episode, Dr. Kylie speaks with Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, America's first board-certified female urogynecologist and a distinguished fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Obstetric and Gynecology, an honor bestowed on a few. She has dedicated her life to treating vaginal and pelvic health conditions.

Your pelvis changes during menopause–inside and out. The vaginal and vulvar tissues become thinner; the pH and microbiome in your vagina can shift; and the scaffolding that supports your pelvic organs can weaken, increasing your risk for pelvic organ prolapse. There's help for all of that, so you can continue running, riding, lifting, having sex, and enjoying an active life free from pain, infection, and injury. We talk about all that and more this week with urogynecologist Kathleen Connell, MD.
