In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Tia Ukpe-Wallace, a pelvic health physical therapist based in Oakland, California who shares her personal journey from experiencing chronic UTIs, fibroids, and pregnancy loss to becoming a specialist in women's pelvic health.
Dr. Tia reveals the often-overlooked connection between pelvic health, fibroids, and fertility, explaining how:
- Fibroids can compete for blood supply and lead to pregnancy complications
- Scar tissue from fibroid surgeries and other procedures can impact conception
- The six ligaments supporting your uterus play a crucial role in fertility
- Dark or irregular periods might signal fibroid presence or other pelvic health issues
Whether you're dealing with fibroids while trying to conceive, recovering from pregnancy loss, experiencing painful intercourse, or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation demystifies pelvic health therapy and provides actionable insights for your reproductive journey.
Dr. Tia emphasizes that pelvic health isn't just about internal examinations—it encompasses everything from how you walk and breathe to jaw tension and posture. Discover why addressing these issues could be the missing piece in your fertility puzzle, especially when fibroids are involved.
