Dr Riva Preil 03:29
People don't sit around at the dinner table talking about their bladder issues, their sexual dysfunction, for understandable reasons. But then what happens is people end up suffering in silence for far too long, without knowing that help exists
Dr Riva Preil
So, to whatever degree people feel comfortable talking about these matters, it just helps to D stigmatize it. And the same way a person would get their shoulder fixed or their knee rehabbed if they have issues with those body parts, then the same should be the case with the pelvic floor as well.
Dr Riva Preil
Kegels are fortunately making their way more into pop culture what people know about it, it's being referenced in shows and magazines and people are aware. But what people aren't aware of is that Kegels aren't appropriate for everyone.
