Overall, physical activity is highly encouraged for most pregnant women – particularly if you are low-risk. Everyone can benefit from exercise in some form within certain precautions. The most important part is that it feels good to you.

Vestibulodynia- Pain at the Opening of the Vagina

Vestibulodynia- Pain at the Opening of the Vagina

Vestibulodynia is chronic pain or discomfort that occurs around the opening to the vagina: the vestibule is where the lips of the vulva meet your vagina. It is a very sensitive part of your body and contains multiple glands to help with lubrication/discharge as well as the urethra. Pain may occur when the area is touched, during sex, when using a tampon or other certain movements like prolonged sitting. The area may even be chronically red and inflamed.

Stop Peeing Every 5 Minutes!

Stop Peeing Every 5 Minutes!

It is normal for most people to go to the bathroom six to eight times per day – maybe more if you drink a lot of water. IT IS NOT NORMAL for you to go to the bathroom more than every 2 hours UNLESS you have something that causes Bladder Irritation.

So what is Bladder irritation? This is where the inside lining of the bladder (this inside lining closely resembles the inside of your mouth) gets irritated and causes the bladder to contract.

Pain in the Piriformis

Pain in the Piriformis

The Piriformis comes in: a long, slender muscle about the size of a hotdog buried deep under our gluteus maximus muscle. It runs from the side of the sacrum (near the tailbone) to the femur (the top part of our thigh bone). It is considered part of the “deep six” hip rotators that are responsible for stability at the hip and pelvis, especially when we are moving.
There are two things we need to know about the piriformis: it is a workaholic and a drama queen. And schedule an appointment with pelvic floor physical therapy. You will thank us, we swear.
