Leaking when you laugh? Peeing every five minutes? Waking up several times a night to pee?

In this episode of dismissed., Jeni and Amy talk about what most of us women are dealing with: urinary leakage, bladder urgency, frequent urination and nighttime peeing. And they talk about what can be done: pelvic floor physical therapy and surgery options.

Jeni shares her very real postpartum leaking story and how she eventually found relief with TVT surgery. Amy shares how pelvic floor PT improved her nighttime bathroom trips.

Then they bring in Ksenia Mack of Lakeshore Physical Therapy to explain what the pelvic floor actually is, why your bladder may be acting like a needy toddler, and why the answer is not always “just do more Kegels.”

Plus, Dr. Burki from GynoInfo! podcast joins once again to answer “Do I still need a gynecologist after menopause?” She explains why annual well-woman visits still matter, how pap smear schedules are different from yearly exams, and what your gynecologist can help monitor in midlife and beyond.
