Did you know there's a connection between ADHD and your pelvic floor? Hint: it has to do with our nervous system. What about the fact that 20-25% of women over 40 have at least early stage prolapse?…

The next thing that I love to talk about is some action steps that ladies can start taking today.
Things that you want to watch out for is if you know that you have had back pain before.
The fascial tissue that holds up our bladder actually wraps all the way around our neck.
So oftentimes this position where we're sitting in front of a computer doing this is actually making our bladder issues worse.
So the first two things that I would say is stop wearing heels because they pitch your pelvis forward and they create more downward pressure on your pelvic floor.
And what you want to do with those compressive garments is roll down the waistband past your hip bone because that will really help alleviate that downward pressure.
The next thing I would tell women is to use a squatty potty or a toileting stool for both peeing and pooping.
Because if you are chronically constipated and you're straining, which many women are dealing with, it really does a number on your pelvic floor.
Sorry, I was going to ask earlier, is constipation one of the signs of pelvic floor dysfunction?
The real answer is if you have an enteroseal, which is the falling and dropping of the intestines due to other types of prolapses, yes, that can create slower digestive motility in the digestive tract and constipation, but most times women are dealing with other digestive diagnoses such as Crohn's or IBS or something like this that then, you know, has this domino effect in causing pelvic floor issues as well.
