Myth-Busting Corner

Let's set the record straight on some common pelvic health myths.

❌ Myth: "Leaking is just part of being a woman."

✅ Truth: Leaking is COMMON, but it's not NORMAL. It's a sign that something needs attention — and it's treatable!

❌ Myth: "Just do Kegels and you'll be fine."

✅ Truth: Kegels aren't always the answer. Some women need to RELAX their pelvic floor, not strengthen it. You need an assessment to know what YOUR body needs.

❌ Myth: "It's too late for me — I had my baby 10 years ago."

✅ Truth: Postnatal doesn't have a time limit. I see women 15+ years postpartum who make incredible improvements with the right treatment.

❌ Myth: "Surgery is the only option for prolapse."

✅ Truth: Conservative management (physiotherapy, pessaries, lifestyle changes) can be incredibly effective for many women. Surgery isn't always necessary.
