It’s Tip Tuesday!

Did you know your breathing affects your pelvic floor?
Take a few minutes each day to practice deep belly breathing — it helps your pelvic muscles relax, reduces tension, and improves core strength.

How to do it:
1️⃣ Sit or lie comfortably
2️⃣ Inhale slowly through your nose, letting your belly rise
3️⃣ Exhale gently through your mouth

A few minutes of mindful breathing can go a long way for your pelvic health and overall well-being.

Tip Tuesday….Myth-buster edition….

Myth: Urinary incontinence is due to a weak pelvic floor.

Fact: While this can be true, more often urinary incontinence is due to a tight pelvic floor.

The pelvic floor muscles are like a trampoline. They need to be able to both contract and lengthen in order to work properly. If a muscle is already in a tightened, or contracted, position, it can’t contract further to respond to the demands placed on it. Think of the extra pressure imposed on your pelvic floor when you cough, sneeze, or jump.

Daily stressors, sitting for prolonged periods of time, crossing your legs, shallow breathing, and lack of stretching and general mobility can all contribute to extra tension your pelvic floor.

The answer to urinary leakage is NOT always kegels! In fact, these can make your symptoms worse if you already have a tight pelvic floor.

It's Tip Tuesday...

Are you dealing with dryness down there??

There are many things that can lead to uncomfortable vaginal dryness, several of which have to do with decreasing estrogen levels. This could be stages of life that have decreased estrogen levels such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, perimenopause (where the estrogen levels vary), or menopause. We can also have decreased estrogen levels certain medications, smoking, and stress. Stress increases your cortisol level, which will in turn decrease your estrogen level. This is a big one that we can control!

There are other mechanisms that can lead to vaginal dryness as well. These include urinary tract infections, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, pelvic surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and using harsh soaps and detergents.

Call or message me for more information on how to manage and treat vaginal dryness!

It's Tip Tuesday!

Diaphragmatic breathing is a key exercise I give to most of my patients. It helps relax muscles, calm the nervous system, center one's focus, and gain soft tissue mobility.

To properly perform diaphragmatic breathing, lie on your back and rest your hands on your lower abdomen. Next, imagine a balloon resting in your pelvis; as you inhale, the balloon is going to inflate. You should feel your lower abdomen rise under your hands. Make sure you are not pushing or forcing air in.

Then slowly exhale, imagining the balloon passively deflating. You will feel your hands slowly lower back to their starting position. This should be controlled but not forced breathing.

Practice this 3-5 minutes at a time, several times throughout the day to reap all the benefits of diaphragmatic breathing!

Call or message me for more information.

As I drive to my first bone density scan, I have so many thoughts and emotions going through my head.

Let’s back up a couple of years….I went to my P*P because I was crazy fatigued all the time, like could not sit down in a comfy chair without falling asleep. I thought for sure my iron was low. Or I was just an overtired, working mom of three-one which I was still breastfeeding. My blood work came back and my iron was fine but my parathyroid hormone level was high. We monitored this along with my Calcium and Vitamin D levels for the next few years. Last year I underwent a radioactive CT scan that showed one of the four parathyroid glands was overactive. I went to the surgeon last fall and she recommended having the overactive parathyroid gland removed to help normalize my PTH levels. Needless to say, I did not jump on having surgery when I felt fine but knew the risk of early onset osteoporosis was increased.

So here we are today, my blood PTH and Calcium levels remain high and now I wait for the results of my bone density scan to see how much bone loss I currently have.

Am I foolish for delaying this surgery where they have to slice the front of my neck open? Am I just delaying the inevitable and causing more damage? Or am I going to be able to squeeze out of needing this surgery?

It’s so hard for me to wrap my head around having a major surgery and being down for the count when physically I feel fine. But at the same time I know how important it is to take care of myself before things get real bad.
