Self-Care

Pelvic health affects so much more than just bladder control—it touches your whole sense of well-being. Whether it’s leaks when you laugh, pain during intimacy, or persistent pressure, these signals shouldn’t be ignored. At Embody Health, we believe pelvic health is about dignity, strength, and empowerment. Here’s what every woman should know about true pelvic wellness.

What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?

Your pelvic floor supports vital organs, controls bladder/bowel function, and enables intimacy. Dysfunction means that support system isn’t working right. This can look like:

  • Urinary incontinence (leaks with laughter, coughing, exercise)

  • Pain during sex

  • Pelvic pressure or heaviness

  • Constipation or frequent urges

It’s common—up to 25% of women experience symptoms—but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it.

Causes & Risk Factors

  • Pregnancy, childbirth, and C-sections

  • Menopause (due to estrogen decline)

  • Chronic coughing (asthma, smoking)

  • High-impact exercise without prep

  • Obesity and chronic constipation

  • History of surgery or pelvic injury

Understanding the root cause helps us tailor treatment—whether it's strengthening, relaxing, or retraining.

Signs You May Need Help

  • Do you leak urine when you laugh or lift things?

  • Is sex painful or uncomfortable?

  • Feel pressure or heaviness in your pelvis?

  • Difficulty fully emptying your bladder or bowel?

  • Have frequent urges without relief?

If any of the above resonate, it’s time to seek expert care.
