Did you know that drinking coffee can significantly impact the risk of bowel incontinence? The caffeine in coffee acts as a stimulant for the digestive tract, increasing colon muscle contractions, which can cause stools to move faster throughout the bowels, leading to urgency and even diarrhea. Coffee can also induce a laxative effect, resulting in watery stools which can be harder to control.

By limiting caffeine intake in your diet and maintaining adequate water consumption this can reduce risk of incontinence and help regulate healthy bowel movement.

If you are experiencing persistent issues regarding bowel incontinence, we highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional to identify the root cause and develop a personalised management plan to further benefit your health. ☕🤗

Struggling to empty your bowels comfortably? Your posture can make a big difference. Using a footstool, such as a Squatty Potty, helps lift your feet into a squat-like position, which supports easier and more effective bowel movements.

Mastitis can develop quickly, especially during the early weeks of breastfeeding. Continuing to breastfeed or express regularly, ensuring optimal latch and positioning, and avoiding tight or restrictive bras can help reduce the risk of blocked ducts.

If you notice pain, redness, swelling, a lump in the breast, or flu like symptoms, early support is key. Women’s health physiotherapists can assess breast tissue, feeding mechanics and posture, and provide treatment and education to support recovery and help prevent recurrence.

Bedwetting, also called nocturnal enuresis, is very common in children. It can be stressful for families, but in most cases it is a normal part of development and not something your child is doing on purpose.

Here are some key facts that often help parents feel reassured:

• Bedwetting affects around 1 in 10 children at age 7
• Many children simply take longer for bladder control to mature overnight
• Deep sleep, genetics and bladder capacity can all play a role
• It is not caused by laziness, bad behaviour or poor parenting

When might extra support help?
Pelvic health physiotherapy can be helpful if:
• Your child has daytime accidents, urgency or constipation
• Bedwetting is new after a long period of dryness
• Your child feels anxious, embarrassed or avoids sleepovers

How pelvic health physiotherapy can help
A pelvic health physio works gently and age appropriately to:
• Assess bladder habits and bowel health
• Improve bladder awareness and capacity
• Support healthy toileting routines
• Educate and reassure both child and parent

The goal is always to build confidence, not pressure.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month 💙

A gentle reminder of the importance of cervical screening and prioritising your health. Cervical screening is a key tool in the early detection and prevention of cervical cancer, helping identify changes before they become a problem.

If you have been invited for screening or are due to check your eligibility, consider booking in. Taking time to care for your health is an important step.

Abdominal separation, also known as diastasis recti, happens when the two sides of your abdominal muscles (your “six-pack”) separate due to stretching of the connective tissue that runs down your stomach. It’s common after pregnancy but can affect others too.

Signs include a bulge or gap along the midline, poor core strength, or lower back pain.

If you think you might be experiencing abdominal separation, give us a call on 9431 2530 or visit our website.💙

Pudendal Neuralgia is when there is irritation or damage to the pudendal nerve which results in chronic pain. Symptoms include burning, shooting, or stabbing pain which can be exacerbated when sitting and relieved to an extent when lying down. Factors relating to this condition include childbirth, surgery and trauma, while symptoms involve bladder/bowel issues, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic pain, often leading to misdiagnosis and significant quality of life impact. If you relate to any of the symptoms of Pudendal Neuralgia book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists at WomanKind today to help manage this condition and improve quality of your life. 🤗
