Most women ignore these signs… but they could be symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. If you’re dealing with pelvic pain, bladder leaks, or pressure, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on—and what you can do about it.

In this episode, Jessica and Lee break down the real-life symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, including pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse—three of the most common (and most misunderstood) conditions affecting women today.

You’ll hear what these issues actually look like in everyday life:

• Leaking when you laugh, sneeze, or exercise
• Feeling a constant urgency to find a bathroom
• Experiencing pressure, heaviness, or discomfort in your pelvic region
• Dealing with ongoing pain that’s often dismissed or misunderstood

They also explain the different types of incontinence (stress, urge, and mixed), how pelvic organ prolapse develops, and why pelvic pain is so often overlooked or normalized.

More importantly, this episode helps you connect the dots—so if you’ve ever wondered “Is this normal?” or “Is this happening to me?”… you’ll finally have clarity.

Because the truth is: Too many women are told to live with these symptoms—or simply don’t know where to start.

But you don’t have to stay stuck.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• The most common signs of pelvic floor dysfunction
• How pelvic pain, incontinence, and prolapse show up in daily life
• Why these symptoms are often ignored or misdiagnosed
• What’s actually happening in your body
• Where to start if you’re ready to take control

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to live this way.

Pelvic health issues like incontinence, pelvic pain, bladder leaks, and pelvic organ prolapse affect millions of women—yet many still suffer in silence. Why? A mix of stigma, lack of education, and a major shortage of pelvic floor therapists means that even leading research hospitals can’t meet the demand for care.

In this episode, we explore the hidden gaps in women’s healthcare, why pelvic floor therapy is often treated as optional instead of essential, and how cultural silence around these issues has left generations of women thinking they just have to “live with it.” From pregnancy and postpartum recovery to long-term pelvic health, we discuss why proactive care and education should be the standard—not the exception.

We also talk about the growing movement of women breaking the silence, sharing their stories, and building supportive communities where conversations about pelvic health are normalized. When women understand their bodies and have access to reliable resources, they can seek help earlier, prevent long-term complications, and reclaim confidence in their health.

If you’ve ever wondered whether bladder leaks, pelvic pressure, or chronic pelvic pain are normal, this conversation is for you. You are not alone—and solutions exist.

To help bridge the gap in access to care, the PelviCare app provides education, guided programs, and support for women navigating pelvic health challenges—from pre-pregnancy preparation to postpartum recovery and beyond.
