There's a lot of information on social media. But I think that women really need a menu of options to access healthcare. And it's amazing that we're in a day that that really is possible.
Mythos, totaler Mythos, nicht akzeptabel. Es gibt etwas, was man definitiv tun kann. Keine Anzahl von Leckungen ist normal. Just do Kegels fixes all pelvic floor issues. Myth. Absolutely not. It's like saying doing crunches fixes back pain. It's very nuanced what you should do to address your pelvic floor, which is what I cover in the book. What exercise path should you take?
Myth. They can affect you at any age or stage from periods to sex to perimenopause and postmenopause.
Explain that. So, your pelvic floor is muscles. And when you think about weak bicep muscles and you have a hard time lifting something, it's the same thing for the pelvic floor. If these muscles are weak or lengthened, you can't close the sphincters to hold in urine and stool. You can't contract for sexual health or orgasms. And you can leak or have pelvic organ prolapse.
Peeing just in case is good bladder training. Myth. You should only pee when you have the urge to go. We women are notorious for going to the bathroom every time we cross one and that can train your bladder to actually shrink and then you have to go to the bathroom more often. So only pee when you have the urge to pee. The normal range is between two to four hours during the day.
Before bed, before sex and before exercise are the only just in case piece allowed. Should you pee before sex or after sex?
Both? Yeah. Why? Well, one, it cleanses the urinary tract of bacteria. And sometimes if you have a full bladder, it can make sex feel like you might pee. Holding your pee is bad for your pelvic floor. Truth. You should, again, go to the bathroom when you have the urge to go. It should be between that two to four hour mark during the day.
Or at nighttime, it should be once or twice or none at all, but not more than that. Sarah, du bist so wundervoll. Wir werden dieses Buch natürlich teilen, damit die Leute wissen, wo sie es finden können. Aber wo können die Leute dich finden?
Wie wir erwähnt haben, bin ich auf Social Media als TheVaginaWhisperer auf Instagram und dann als TheVagWhisperer auf TikTok, weil TikTok das Wort Vagina nicht mag. Oh, lass uns das mal schnell erzählen.
Sie akzeptieren den Account mit Vagina, also bin ich TheVagWhisperer auf TikTok.
Yeah, Instagram will accept it. But I'm like a dinosaur on Instagram, so I've been there forever. So maybe I just got grandfathered in. And then my website with, you know, a ton of blogs, pelvic health exercises, and all about the book where you can pre-order it is thevaginawhisper.com.
And everybody who pre-orders the book gets 30 days of pelvic floor workouts along with it, so you can start your journey right away.
Thank you for having me, Dylan. And yes, I am the vagina whisperer on social medias and to all of my friends.
This could go many different directions.
You know, I wish I could take credit for it. So I am a physical therapist by training. I have a doctorate degree. And then I specialized in pelvic floor physical therapy. And when I was after graduate school practicing, I would get together with my girlfriends and their families every summer and practice.
A few summers after I specialized in this field, I ended up like sitting in a hot tub with all of their moms talking about their bladder problems. And all of my friends said, oh my gosh, she's like the vagina whisperer. And then when I created my Instagram account in 2017... I created it for my group of girlfriends. I was pregnant. We were all going through pregnancy and postpartum.
And I just was sharing tips on social media for them to find so they could know how to prepare. And I named it The Vagina Whisperer because that's what they called me. And so it really has blossomed, you know, over the years, several hundreds of thousands of folks following along. And I think that that growth is a real testament.
One, maybe the name is funny, but two, that women really want this information about their pelvic floors and they're not getting it from anywhere else. So it's just been an incredible journey to go from starting an Instagram account to now being a published author, talking all about the pelvic floor and the vagina.
Awesome. Thank you. You know, and I think that that's one of the thing is I'm a medical professional. I'm a medical provider. But I think when we start using this jargon and all of these really medical terms, people get lost and then they can't understand what we're talking about. And so I want to meet people where they are.
And the other thing is, you know, I've treated, you know, thousands, tens of thousands of women. And this is a really intimate part of their body that we're talking about. They're sharing things with me that they've never told anyone sometimes. And I want them to feel comfortable doing that and less alone in the process and that I also understand it as a woman.
