It completely frustrates me to know something as simple as bending over triggers more pain. Especially after I proactively stretched and paced myself. • • • To the doctors who may downplay pelvic pain, repeat after me... PELVIC 👏🏻 HEALTH 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 HEALTH👏🏻. Getting any pelvic diagnosis and correct treatment in regards to sexual, menstrual or urinary pain is a rigorous uphill climb for so many of us. It can sometimes take over 10 years of suffering to convince a doctor to do more than throw hormones or antibiotics at us. This happens despite the fact that so many pelvic conditions drastically reduce quality of life. Is it because of gender? Or is it because there is still lack of chronic pain education and pelvic floor dysfunction awareness? Addressing this is such an important step to better care for all.
