In this week’s episode, Dr Shauna is joined by Dr Lynsey Hayward - a gynaecologist with extensive experience treating all aspects of pelvic floor dysfunction such as prolapse and urinary incontinence. Based in NZ, Dr Hayward is passionate about supporting women with their urogynaecological problems, working to raise awareness on an international level and provide support for women with prolapse and incontinence issues. Urinary incontinence is a common yet taboo issue among women, especially in midlife during the perimenopause and beyond. Many find it embarrassing to talk about, even to their doctor, but today we’re breaking down those barriers. In this conversation, Dr Shauna and Dr Hayward unpack exactly what urinary innocence is. Does childbirth have an impact? How can it affect your sex life? What do treatment options like pelvic floor therapy, lifestyle adjustments or surgical interventions look like, and what might be right for you?
