Pelvic Health Matters: Beyond Kegels, Finding Real Solutions
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.
