The best time to focus on toilet training is always during the holidays. Now, of course, there are challenges that come with this because all the kids want to do is play, and well, toilet training can be a little boring. What we can do to encourage children to sit on the toilet during this period is to make it a bit more fun and eventful so that they’re still with the Christmas spirit, they’re not missing out and maybe they’ll feel more motivated to actually sit down. So why not decorate the place with some fun christmas decorations to look at just to keep things interesting. Be careful not to make it too fun, which could distract them! Have fun!

This busy time of year is when we can experience heightened anxiety and stress, causing us to clench our jaw and in turn our pelvic floor muscles. So in relaxing our jaw, we relax our pelvic floor. But how do we do that?

🎄Simply being aware is always the best start. A 🟢, 💙, 🌟 or even a candy cane on your hand, is a great reminder to check in with your body.

🎄Scan your body from head to toes. Do you feel tension or tightness anywhere?

🎄Drop your shoulders

🎄Next, we need to breathe...in through your nose and into your tummy, relax your jaw muscles and focus on the relaxed movement of your pelvic floor muscles. Allow your jaw and pelvic floor to relax or “drop,” and while inhaling, focus on the feeling of these muscles lengthening and loosening

🎄 Now for some exercises

Place your fingers on the top of your front bottom teeth.

Slowly pull down until you feel slight tightness of your jaw. Hold for 30 seconds, and then slowly release your jaw back to the starting position.

Repeating this stretch three times.

- The relaxed jaw position

Put your lips together, tongue at the roof of the mouth, and let your teeth fall apart.

- Jaw joint stretch

This exercise helps stretch the muscles of the jaw and neck.

Press the tip of your tongue onto the roof of your mouth, directly behind your top front teeth, without touching them. Next, use your tongue to apply gentle pressure. Slowly open your mouth as wide as you can, then slowly close it shut.

Stop at the point where you feel discomfort. Repeat 3 times.

- Smile stretch

This stretch helps eliminate stress in the facial muscles, upper and lower jaw, and neck.

Smile, the widest smile you can without feeling tightness or pain. While smiling, slowly open your jaw. Inhale deeply through your mouth, then exhale while letting go of the smile. Repeat 3 times.

🎄And Sing! Belt out Mariah’s “All I Want For Christmas”.

While strengthening your pelvic floor muscles is important, it's just as important to relax them.

Remember to drop your jaw to the floor to relax your pelvic floor!

Lichen Sclerosus (LS) — What You Need to Know

LS is a chronic skin condition that affects the v***a, a**s, or p***s.
It’s not contagious, may have a genetic or autoimmune link, and is most commonly diagnosed in people in their 40s and 50s.

Signs & Symptoms
✨ Persistent itching, burning or soreness
✨ White, pale or crinkled patches of skin
✨ Skin that’s thin, fragile, or easily torn
✨ Dryness, fissures, blisters or bruising
✨ Possible scarring or narrowing of openings (v***a/anal LS)
✨ In people with a p***s: often affects the fo****in or head of the p***s

Management & Treatment in Australia
✔️ Prescription steroid ointment
✔️ Topical oestrogen when helpful
✔️ Gentle skin-care routines
✔️ Silicone-based lubricants for intimacy
✔️ Vaginal stretching with dilators or vi*****rs (if relevant)

Why Pelvic Health Physio Matters
Our clinicians are experienced in recognising LS and can help guide you back to your GP for diagnosis and medical treatment.
We also support you with secondary pain, tightness, and intimacy-related discomfort, helping you return to comfortable s*xual activity.

Why Awareness Is Important
LS can sometimes be missed — not all clinicians see it regularly.
Knowing the signs means you can ask the right questions and get help sooner.
Early treatment reduces inflammation, prevents scarring, protects long-term v***al health, and improves comfort.

How We Can Help at Pelvic Health Melbourne
✨ Identify likely LS lesions and guide appropriate referral
✨ Support with scarring, narrowing, and dilator programs
✨ Advise on moisturisers and lubricants
✨ Help manage nerve-related pelvic pain and persistent v***al burning

L***a Colour Changes: Totally Normal, Totally Common 💗

Let’s talk l***a colour — because yes, it varies a lot, and yes, it’s normal!
Your l***a can be light pink, brown, purple, deep red… or change over time. Bodies are beautifully diverse, and so are v***as.

💫 What’s normal?
It’s super common for the inner l***a to be darker than the outer. Genetics, hormones, and blood flow all influence colour — just like skin tone anywhere else.

🌈 When colour changes happen:
• Puberty: Hormones can naturally darken things.
• Pregnancy: More blood flow = deeper colours (often purple-ish).
• Menopause: Lower estrogen may mean paler tissue.
• Arousal or your period: Temporary darkening is totally normal.

🚩 When to get things checked:
Pop in to a health professional if you notice:
• Sudden or uneven colour change
• New dark or light patches
• Pain, itching, burning, swelling
• Sores or texture changes
• Unusual discharge or odour

These can be signs of irritation, infection, or skin conditions — all treatable.

✨ Remember:
There is no one “normal” v***a. Colour, shape, size — it all varies. What matters most is comfort, function, and your overall health.

If something feels off (or you just want reassurance), a pelvic or women’s health professional can help you understand what’s normal for you.

Premature ej*******on (PE) is one of the most common s*xual concerns for men — but it’s still something many people feel uncomfortable talking about. It can impact confidence, intimacy, and relationships… but the good news is it’s treatable.

So, what is PE?
It’s when ej*******on happens sooner than you or your partner would like — often with minimal stimulation or shortly after pe*******on.

Why does it happen?
PE can be linked to things like:
• Overactive pelvic floor muscles
• Stress, anxiety, or performance pressure
• Hormonal or neurological factors
• Habits developed over time (like rushing s*x or ma********on)

What can help?
• Learning to relax and retrain the pelvic floor
• Breathing and body-awareness techniques
• Mind-body strategies to reduce anxiety
• Medical assessment or medication when needed

A pelvic floor physio or s*xual health professional can help you build confidence and improve control with personalised strategies.

PE is common — and nothing to be ashamed of. Starting the conversation is often the hardest part, but it’s also the first step toward meaningful change.

Why does my child still wet the bed sometimes?

Bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) can be worrying for parents, especially when it happens only sometimes. The truth is, occasional bedwetting is actually very common in children and often part of normal development.

Why it can happen:

Bladder and brain are still learning to communicate overnight

Deep sleep makes it harder to wake to bladder signals

Small bladder capacity

Family history (bedwetting can run in families)

Constipation or fluid habits can play a role too

When to be reassured:
Occasional accidents — especially under the age of 7 — are usually normal.

When to seek support:

If accidents are frequent or worsening

If bedwetting continues past age 7–8 consistently

If your child also has daytime wetting, pain, or constipation

If your child struggled with bedwetting for longer than you’d expect, it is likely that they may have a bedwetting episode x1/year ongoing with many factors coming into play including the ones mentioned above. This is still normal even into adulthood because of their history.

Bedwetting is not your child’s fault, and it’s not laziness. Gentle support, healthy bladder habits, and professional advice if needed can make a big difference.
