“I Hated Sex” - Painful Sex Explained (And How to Heal It) with Emily Abbott

from In Her Era · host Monique Took

I wish more women were having conversations like this, especially as someone who struggled with pain with sex for years.In this episode, we go deep into pain with sex and ANY pelvic floor pain, and why so many women are dealing with symptoms they think are “normal” or have been told it’s “their fault”.We talk about:why sex can become painful (and the real reasons behind it)the connection between your emotions and pelvic painendometriosis pain and period cramping - could this also be causing it?why “just doing kegels” isn’t the answer for most women and the tangiable strategies if you’re experiencing symptoms pregnancy + postpartum pelvic floor support (what actually matters and when) We also get into the things that aren’t spoken about enough, the shame, the relationship dynamics, and how much that actually affects your body and your pelvic floor (and it’s way more than you think)This episode is for you if: you’ve ever felt like something is “off”… you’ve felt ashamed that you experience pain with sex, or have any type of pain in your pelvic region. This episode is part tangiable strategy part honest vulnerability but will probably make you feel a lot less alone in your body.🤝 CONNECT Emily Abbot - Women's Health PhysiotherapistInstagram: @emilyjane_unspoken🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOWPlease Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!
