What the heck is a pelvic floor?
Manage episode 380042190 series 3516275
You may think “leaking bladder” is something that happens only to very old women, but just wait until you’re 41 and you attend a kid’s birthday party at a trampoline park. Now it's real! And this very unpleasant problem has everything to do with your mysterious pelvic floor.
Sarah's totally unfiltered pelvic floor-related questions include:
What exectly is a pelvic floor? (And if there's a pelvic floor, is there a pelvic ceiling?)
Why are we just hearing about this in the last decade or so?
What causes pelvic floor disorders?
Other than peeing when you sneeze, what are other effects of a weak pelvic floor?
What can we do about it?
The guest for this episode is Dr. Andrea Crane, a urogynecologist from WakeMed, who has heard every euphamism for "vagina," and isn't shy about sharing. Find out more about her at www.wakemed.org.
