Postpartum painful sex, Candice Langford
Postpartum Dyspareunia
With up to 40% of individuals experiencing dyspareunia at the 2 month mark, this is a conversation that we need to nurture, especially since symptoms can and should be treated. In this episode I speak about 3 common contributors to pain with penetration in the postpartum period, how they may present and potential treatment options. My hope is to reduce stigma and fear through information sharing and improve comfort and confidence when communicating about this topic, whether that’s with a partner, friend or health care provider.
Solo episode:
Candice Langford, pelvic and sexual health physiotherapist.

Vaginismus Medical Management, Dr. Allyson Shrikhande
In todays episode, Dr. Allyson Shrikhande from @pelvicrehabilitation shares generously about a medical management approach to treating patients with GPPPD, namely vaginismus.
We highlight that vaginismus treatment is not one dimensional, and that patients typically engage with a multidisciplinary team (not limited to physiotherapy, psychology and medical doctors). Dr. Shrikhande details the medical facet of treatment utilised by the Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine team.

Prolapse in Parenthood, Clare Bourne
Prolapse in Parenthood, Clare Bourne
Pelvic Organ Prolapse is a diagnosis often accompanied by fear! Clare is changing this by normalising the narrative and sharing valuable information enriched by personal and clinical experience.
If you are a parent (or not, as this is NOT a diagnosis limited to postpartum) and the topic of prolapse impacts your daily life, be it; talk of a pregnancy, exercise, heavy lifting, intimacy …We discuss it all!

Lil-Lets Bladder Leaks, Megan Ross
Lil-Lets Bladder Leaks, Megan Ross
Postpartum leaks are common!
Not the norm
And… they can be treated
With this said, we understand that capacity (mental, physical, emotional) does not always allow for immediate intervention or management… we believe that using the correct pads can help take the pressure off, hopefully giving you confidence, relief and reprieve from what may have felt like overwhelm.
We hope that this will help you create the necessary space (mental, physical, emotional) to seek the help you deserve from a health care professional.
I chatted to Megan Ross about the new Lil-Lets incontinence range of pads and liners and she also shared about her personal experience and subsequent passion on the topic.
At the end of this episode, I share a a few details of information that will be valuable in your first consult with a health care professional as well as tips to start to manage your incontinence today!
Todays Guest:
Megan Ross is an award-winning writer, mom, and the responder manager and lead moderator for Lil-Lets Talk, a powerful, free online platform dedicated to answering all your menstrual cycle and incontinence-related questions run by Lil-Lets.
