What happens?
Research has shown 1 in 3 women have their pelvic floor muscles damaged after having children. The effects disrupt daily life and a healthy lifestyle. Some examples:
1. That awful little trickle comes at the worst moments…
2. Leakages during daily activities (cough, laugh, jump, lift)
3. The gym class with jumping jacks you totally avoid. Or running..
4. Feelings of shame and embarrassment.
6. Side effects from pills to stop an overactive bladder.
7. Skin irritation and infections from wearing plastic in your underwear.
8. Adult incontinence
9. The options? Expensive surgeries or wearing pads forever (and eventually diapers).
