Article Review: Millions of Women Injured During Childbirth. Why Aren't Doctors Diagnosing Them?

Using this article as a springboard to talk about about how:

So many people are having injuries during birth and are just left to deal with the consequences

Kegels aren’t always the answer to leaking

How a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist is the most appropriate provider to diagnose pelvic floor dysfunction and help you treat it, and how SO many people don’t know about it, prolonging the amount of time they suffer before finding the right provider.

Some striking statistics from the article:

77% of people had persistent back pain one year after delivery

49% of people had continued urinary incontinence one year after delivery

Issues postpartum were not limited to people who delivered vaginally; people after C sections saw similar rates of pelvic floor dysfunction
