In this podcast, I answer frequently asked questions about urinary health, touching on the efficacy of D mannose for preventing urinary tract infections, the impact of vitamin D deficiency and supplementation on bladder health, the role of vaginal estrogen in treating urinary symptoms, and when to treat asymptomatic urinary tract infections.
I'll also cover how to differentiate between urine leaks and sweat during exercise, the relationship between bladder issues and pelvic floor health, the benefits of pelvic floor physical therapy postpartum, and managing bladder symptoms in the third trimester of pregnancy. I address misconceptions about the pelvic floor's role in urinary health and offer practical advice for women experiencing these common issues.
