And in case you don’t love listening to a podcast, here’s Isa explaining the issues in a blog post format as well…
If You Are Suffering From Leaking, Painful Intimacy and Pelvic Discomfort, Then Here’s What You Need to Know
First off, you are not alone!
30 million women in the United States are suffering from pelvic floor disorders.
Which means that 30 million women are suffering from debilitating and embarrassing symptoms such as urine leaking, painful sex, weak or non-existent orgasms and pelvic organ prolapse. (1-3)
Unfortunately, this condition is often misdiagnosed and/or mistreated leading to shame, prolonged suffering, and worsening symptoms. (2, 3)
And it’s not your doctor’s fault – they’re often not taught about this in medical school even!
What Are Pelvic Floor Conditions?
Female pelvic floor conditions are physical conditions.
They are not emotional, psychological or sexual disorders.
And many female pelvic floor conditions can be healed with noninvasive natural, holistic therapies and medications are rarely needed. (4,5) I know this from personal experience…
After the birth of my child I suffered from what I call the new “mom trifecta”: pain with sex, urine leaking and pelvic organ prolapse (when your organs are not held in place by your pelvic floor muscles) .
The nurses and doctors all told me what I was experiencing was normal. The pain with sex “normal”. The urine leaking when I carried my baby “normal”. The ache and pressure in my pelvis “normal”.
Being a licensed physical therapist and trusting my female intuition, I decided to go on a quest to heal myself.
What I Discovered After Performing 14,704 Pelvic Healings..
Not only was I able to heal myself, but I also started a clinic helping other people in NYC (Renew Physical Therapy).
And the cause of most pelvic pain, bladder issues, leaking, prolapse and abdominal pain turns out to be “the pelvic floor muscles.”
Instead of doing experimental drugs, injections, and surgeries, you can actually fix these problems naturally and with better chance of success.
What’s the secret, you ask?
Your Pelvic Floor Muscles Are KEY!
Our pelvic floor muscles AKA vaginal muscles are highly innervated, vascularized, and complex, and are susceptible to injuries.
The pelvic floor muscles are involved in what I call the 5 functions of life. They support our organs, close off our urinary sphincters, enhance sexual function, stabilize our hips and spine and act as a sump pump for the pelvis.
The pelvic floor muscles are also the deep connectors to the upper and lower extremities and when there’s an issue with them, such as scarring from births, episiotomies, spasms, trigger points or they are too weak or too tight, they can contribute to symptoms such as urinary and fecal incontinence, pain with sex, pelvic discomfort and low to non-existent orgasms.(10)
Research has shown that very few doctors, during routine gynecological exams, perform a digital exam of the pelvic floor muscles, the area where the women are experiencing most of their pain and symptoms. (11) Heck I’ve never had a doctor examine my pelvic floor or even speak to me about it. Have you?
But don’t despair…
Let Me Tell You About A Natural Way To Heal Your Pelvic Dysfunction
What you probably don’t realize is that you can heal yourself through integrative and holistic practices that include massages, exercises, yoga, and meditation and mindfulness training all which can be incorporated into a self care program. (12,13)
As a matter of fact, The Center For Disease Control and National Institutes of Health have recommend natural therapies such as pelvic floor muscle training as the first line of defense in resolving symptoms related to leaking, pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic pain.(14,15)
