This week's podcast is about prolapse—what it is, how it affects daily life, and what you can do about it. A few weeks ago, I joined Janice Mitchell from MyPFM and had the chance to answer some incredible questions from her coaching group. The conversation was honest, insightful, and filled with the kinds of questions I hear every day in my practice.
We talked about whether prolapse can improve after childbirth, how to manage symptoms without surgery, and what to know if you're considering one. I also shared tips on pessary use and how to find a skilled urogynecologist and even addressed one of the most personal topics: sex and prolapse.
If prolapse has left you feeling unsure or overlooked, this episode is for you. These are the questions real women ask and the answers they deserve. Listen and learn.
