They follow through on every exercise, attend every appointment, and still find their symptoms cycling in and out without explanation. What most of them are never told is that their pelvic floor does not operate in isolation. It is profoundly responsive to hormones — and if the hormonal environment is not addressed, even the best physical therapy can only take you so far.In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur walks through the direct and measurable connection between estrogen, progesterone, and pelvic floor function — and what it means for women dealing with bladder urgency, urinary leaking, pelvic pain, and bowel dysfunction.
