Why Is Pelvic-Floor Health So Important? What Makes Minor Urine Leakage Worsen? What Are Urinary Urgency Triggers? How Can You Avoid Them? Does Peeing When You Sneeze Lead to Bigger Issues? With Guest & Pelvic-Floor Specialist Dr. Wendy Chorny

Dr. Wendy Chorny is back after  What Happens to Our Vaginas As They Age & What Does Estrogen Have To Do With It? 

• What do Pavlov’s dogs and your coffee-break and post-commute habits have in common?
• How can understanding pelvic-floor dysfunction help you slow things down?
• Do you know the difference between urinary urgency and stress urinary incontinence? And why does it matter? 
• How can you identify early signs it may worsen sooner than it has to? 
• And when is it time to seek professional help?

Dr. Wendy is a doctor of physical therapy specializing in the treatment of pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, perimenopause, and more.  She is an educator and author, affiliated with the University of Dayton Doctor of Physical Therapy Program & currently doing research on Diastasis Recti in Women.

MAV Tip: You're not alone. There is help available. And hiding or feeling shame (or taking "logical" steps to reduce the frequency of your urinary urges) will only make it worse. Seek support, even if it's just plugging into an anonymous community to learn (like the MAV Sisterhood) or following VETTED pelvic-floor experts on social to get a feel for the things nobody very taught us!

Take care of yourself. And take care of your vagina!
