Women: Do you have a healthy pelvis?

That's probably a question nobody ever thinks to answer until they no longer have a healthy pelvis.

Did you know there is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing women with healthy pelvis and wellness information?

That organization is called the Women's Health Foundation. According to the website, the WHF is made up of individuals united in their goal to have this sisterhood of silence become a sisterhood of strength: connecting, educating and empowering women who struggle with pelvic health issues.

Did you know that more than half of the 150 million adult women in the United States suffer from some sort of urinary incontinence (UI)?

Many women think pelvic organ prolapse (POP) only affects post-menopausal women but that is a misnomer. Pelvic organ prolapse refers to slippage of the pelvic organs, such as the uterus, vagina, bladder, or rectum. The cause of the slippage is because the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and structures no longer provide adequate support.

Women of all ages suffer POP and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Causes include menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal changes. Pregnant women who never experienced urine leakage prior to being pregnant may suffer urinary leakage while pregnant and after pregnancy. Other factors are obesity, diabetes, hysterectomy, smoking, chronic coughing, and constipation.
