👶 Celebrity Postpartum Quote: Brittany Mahomes 👶

Brittany Mahomes recently dropped some serious postpartum wisdom, shedding light on a common but often overlooked issue: pelvic floor health. She’s absolutely right—women, especially when they’re younger or expecting, often don’t get the education they need on this topic.

Pelvic floor problems can arise from a variety of factors, including pregnancy and childbirth, but they’re not something to brush aside. They can lead to issues like urinary and f***l incontinence, organ prolapse, and even back pain. That’s why taking care of your pelvic floor is crucial, especially after having kids.

Whether it’s through graded pelvic floor strengthening or breathwork to downregulate the nervous system, there are ways to rehabilitate those muscles. And trust us, it’s worth the effort! So let’s take a page from Brittany Mahomes’ book and prioritize our pelvic floor health. Your future self will thank you! 💪

Blog Post: Endometriosis & Central Sensitization

Endometriosis is characterized by endometrial-like lesions that grow outside of the endometrium. People with endometriosis have symptoms such as: chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain, and more. About 20% of patients with endometriosis treated through surgical excision or ablation continued to experience chronic pelvic pain and other endometriosis symptoms. Moreover, 70 to 80% of patients with chronic pelvic pain with confirmed endometriosis lesions do not have lesions in the areas where they experience symptoms.

Central sensitization is the excessive firing of the nociceptors in the central nervous system and eventually starts to, “amplify and perpetuate the perception of pain long after the initiating pathology resolves.” (Aredo, et al.) Eventually, patients start to experience allodynia (pain from a non-painful stimulus) and/or hyperalgesia (increased pain to a painful stimulus). Three processes may be responsible when it comes to chronic pelvic pain:

1. Viscerosomatic convergence: visceral (organ) input to the brain almost always includes nearby muscle and skin input via viscerosomatic convergence
2. Viscerosomatic reflex: both visceral and somatic nociceptors connect with interneurons in the spinal cord that can activate alpha and gamma motor neurons that innervate skeletal muscle
3. Chronic, repeated local pain stimuli may affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis leading to decreased cortisol levels and thus exacerbate pain.

Over time, dysfunction in the muscle and surrounding connective tissue via the viscerosomatic processes can lead to myofascial pain and trigger points. People with confirmed endometriosis often have trigger points in the abdomen and pelvic floor. It is no wonder then, that most people with endometriosis also have pain with s*x, constipation, and painful urination (however conditions of these organs can occur concurrently as well).
