A little more common than you may think, probably because it’s something we feel we still can’t talk about freely, is the experience of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). May be even more taboo is the experience of this visitor…. after sex! With an estimated prevalence of over 150 million UTIs each year, young women come up trumps in those figures.
Sex, Secrets and the Pelvic Floor
Have you ever had pain during or after sex? Do you accidently fart and feel like you can’t control it or hold it in? Do you leak when you cough, laugh or exercise and not told anyone thinking it will go away? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, there are signs of possible Pelvic Floor problems or dysfunctions that you might need help with!

We’re giving a little more time to celebrate International Women’s Day this March. Calling out any bias, discrimination, harassment and abuse and the effects on our health can be significant. It’s important to get an awareness and grasp how these can affect us or others we know and look to ways of always moving ahead and forward in every aspect of our lives……and that includes our pelvic floor and sexual health.
