Living Well: Pelvic Floor Survey

It’s something moms often joke about issues with their pelvic floor after having children.

It’s common, affecting about a third of women.

However, experts are getting the word out that pelvic floor issues are not normal or something women should have to live with.

A new survey from Orlando Health shows most Americans think it’s normal for women to experience pain, pressure, and incontinence after having children.

71% agree having some urinary leakage after having kids is normal, and more than half (51%) believe the same about experiencing pain during sex after childbirth — all common signs of damage to the pelvic floor.
