Pelvic Health Expert

Pelvic health is a very complex issue. It can involve pain experienced from a young age, such as during the first stages of being sexually active, making it difficult to enjoy intimacy with a partner. It can also include postpartum pain – particularly for women who experienced significant tearing that required stitching, which may have caused tightening in the pelvic floor muscles. Leakage issues can also prevent people from enjoying social activities, like shopping or spending time with friends, due to the fear of embarrassing accidents in public.

All these issues highlight how pelvic health challenges can impact a person’s ability to enjoy life – whether it’s intimacy with a partner, participating in social outings, or even running essential errands.

That’s why I take a very global approach to my assessments. I consider all the factors that could be contributing to someone’s symptoms, which is not something you can get from watching videos on social media, taking a pill, or even undergoing surgery. In fact, surgery can sometimes lead to scar tissue, which can cause pain too.

Many other medical providers, such as surgeons, urologists, or OBs, often have very limited time to spend with their patients. This makes it difficult for them to truly get to the root cause and address the various factors contributing to pelvic health issues.

I pride myself on taking the time to sit down with my patients, listen to their concerns, and problem-solve all the different areas of their lives that may be contributing to their symptoms. This includes considering how these challenges impact daily life – whether it’s their relationship with a spouse or significant other, their role as a parent, or their social interactions with friends.
