Pelvic Floor Issues after Pregnancy and Birth | Isis Parenting - 2013

Part of the Isis Parenting Expert Speaker Webinar Series
Speaker: Dr. Roger Lefevre
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Department of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery

Pregnancy, Birth and Pelvic Floor Issues

Do you squeeze your legs and worry you'll leak urine each time you sneeze or run for the bus? Do you have a difficult time controlling bowel movements or gas? Do you secretly hope these symptoms will get better on their own? If so, you aren't alone.

Although a significant number of reproductive-age women suffer from Stress Incontinence, Urge Incontinence and bowel issues months or years after pregnancy or birth, many moms are hesitant to talk to their doctors about them. Recently polled new moms told us they didn't speak up because they were too embarrassed, confused about what was normal, or worried there was nothing available to help them.

Not only are these problems common -- there is a range of options to treat them! Detailed information will be provided, including assessment, exercise, medications, and outpatient surgical options. This webinar is appropriate for clinicians, nurses, doulas and others who work with women to attend, in addition to all expecting and new mothers, women of all ages, and those who care for them.
