PELVIC HEALTH
Pelvic health and pelvic floor concerns can look different for everyone. For some it’s associated with back, hip, coccyx or genital pain, for others its light bladder leakage and rushing to the toilet. Some people experience constipation, prolapse symptoms, pain with vaginal penetration, menstrual pain or sexual dysfunction. Regardless of the symptoms it can be hard to navigate the healthcare system, and knowing who you should see can be challenging. Many suffer in silence, too embarrassed or not sure where to ask for help.
