Leaking when you sneeze. A sudden urge that makes you sprint for the bathroom the moment you pull into the driveway. Constipation that won’t quit. Pelvic pain that’s hard to explain and even harder to bring up. We’re getting practical and specific about pelvic floor dysfunction, because “just deal with it” is not a plan and it’s not the standard you deserve.
I’m joined by Dr. Greet Baestaens, a pelvic floor rehab specialist, to unpack what the pelvic floor actually is, what it’s supposed to do, and why so many people get stuck doing endless Kegels with zero results. We break down the two big urinary patterns, stress incontinence and urgency incontinence, then connect the dots to overactive bladder habits that can shrink bladder capacity over time. We also talk about nocturia (waking up at night to pee) and why the cause might be bladder irritation, hydration choices, or even fluid shifting from swollen ankles and legs.
From there, we go where most conversations never do: constipation and straining, pelvic floor tightness and spasm, and why pain can show up in the pelvis, hips, or low back. Dr. Baestaens explains what evidence-based pelvic floor therapy looks like, including symptom journals, muscle testing, biofeedback, ultrasound imaging, and retraining the coordination between the bladder and pelvic floor. If you’re active in the Southwest Florida heat, you’ll also love the simple hydration checkpoint you can use today.
