I pee every 5 minutes<\/p>\n
Do you?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve gone to 4 different doctors<\/p>\n
How about you?<\/p>\n
They all tell me it\u2019s a UTI<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not true<\/p>\n
I have pelvic floor dysfunction<\/p>\n
And you probably do too<\/p>\n
Pelvic floor dysfunctions are common in 1 of 3 women. Most of the time people live undiagnosed because they are too scared\/embarrassed to report their symptoms or are misdiagnosed. They are not life threatening but can significantly affect the quality of life. Women, especially WOC, tend to underreport their symptoms and so they are the most affected by this. It is important to talk about your pelvic floor muscles and how you can get treated. Part of the reason why there\u2019s still such a mystery regarding the dysfunction and ways to treat it, is because women\u2019s health issues are understudied and at times ignored. Men with pelvic floor dysfunction experience erectile dysfunction\u2026 and guess what? THERE\u2019S A CURE FOR THAT.<\/p>\n
What can we do about this? Talk about your symptoms! Talk to your friends, doctors, join facebook groups, and continue to seek help. It\u2019s okay to be in pain but it is not okay to hide it.<\/p>\n
