Everything You Wish You Knew About Your Pelvic Floor

from The Living Well Women's Health Podcast

Can I jump again? Can I lift weights? Is my pelvic floor making it harder to orgasm? Can my partner help me through chronic pelvic pain?These are the questions women are quietly Googling at night — and the ones they don't have time to ask in a 15-minute appointment.In our second PelviCare community chat, Jessica Chesser sits down with pelvic floor PT Lee to walk through the questions the community sent in. No script, no jargon — just a pelvic floor therapist answering the things almost no one is being told.What's covered: why your quiz result might not match what you came in for; endometriosis and the pelvic floor; painful orgasms and what's actually causing them; why "just Kegel harder" makes weakness worse; jumping again with prolapse or incontinence; the weight-lifting leak myth (leaking is not the sign you're working hard); how to advocate for a pelvic floor PT referral when your doctor isn't sure; diaphragmatic vs. 360 breathing; bringing your partner into chronic pelvic pain recovery; and why mashing a trigger point usually makes it worse.The new PelviCare tracker logs food, drink, bathroom patterns, leaks, and your cycle — and after 30 days, the AI gives you a report you can take to your provider. Plus new pregnancy and menopause courses, a favorites feature, and streak reminders to keep you moving.Download PelviCare: https://www.pelvicare.com/These chats happen once a month. If one woman is asking, five more are wondering the same thing. Bring your questions next time.Subscribe so you don't miss the next community chat. We're learning to trade shame and embarrassment for strength and dignity.
