I want to discuss a topic that isn't always discussed outside of my community but affects many of us: pelvic organ prolapse. If you're a woman in your 20s and beyond, chances are you've heard about it or even experienced it firsthand. The mere mention of prolapse can send shivers down your spine, conjuring up fears about exercise, sex, having more children, and the need for surgery. But fear not! ...

Want to Know the Secret to a Functioning Pelvic Floor?

Ladies, we need to talk about a part of our body that often gets overlooked but is crucial for maintaining our overall health and well-being: our pelvic floor. And, more specifically, the connection between our pelvic floor and diaphragm. You might be wondering, what is the diaphragm, and how does it relate to my pelvic floor? Well, let's div...

Let’s All Have a Dry January!

Leakage is something that we rarely talk about, and why? Because it is only considered unacceptable in society if the person doing it is under seven or over 70. Anyone in between must keep quiet because it is disgusting and abnormal. No, no, no, it’s all wrong! And this opinion makes me cross. I also find it so hard to stomach that this attitude is still so prevalent...

We discuss many taboos in our community, most of which revolve around our genitalia. But not all. Another taboo topic that we discuss a lot is mental health.

Times are changing, and the taboo is decreasing, but it is still very hush-hush. There is no denying that. Many of our community members are struggling because two of the biggest concerns in their life – pelvic health and mental health – are...

Time Management…those two dreaded words.

When I speak to anyone about their pelvic health, the first thing I talk about is commitment. If we don’t commit to making changes and seeing improvement, we won’t move forward. Unfortunately, just sitting on our bums is not going to create results. It’s tough. It’s so tough, and I know this because I have been there too. I have experienced pelvic health c...

Times are changing. So many taboo topics are discussed more nowadays, and that’s great. But are times changing quick enough? Are menopausal women getting the help and support that they need and deserve? That question is debatable. Most women know what menopause is and around what stage in their life it will occur. But most do not know what to expect regarding the physical and mental changes they w...

In our community, the same question is asked time and time again…how do I know if something is “wrong” with my vagina. And it’s an excellent question. So many women ask this because we are not encouraged to get to know our vaginas at any point in our lives. Not when we are at school, not during sex education, not as we go through puberty, and most surprising of all, not when we are starting a fami...

The Covid Cough: How to Avoid Prolapse Deterioration 

2020 started like any other year, but just a few weeks later, Covid became a massive part of our lives. Back then, we didn’t know how much it would control what we did on a daily basis, and we also had no idea that our lives would still be affected so dramatically almost two years later.

Pelvic organ prolapse affects 50% of women globally a...

There is no disputing that when our babies are born, they receive the best possible care. They are loved and cherished as they deserve; those tiny, precious human beings place this huge responsibility in our hands. For most of the population, we embrace that responsibility and wear it as a badge of honour. We want to nurture them. It comes instinctively. But what about us? Are we loved and cherish...
