The answer is YES!👍🏽⁠
⁠
You can do Kegels, and other pelvic floor exercises during your menstrual cycle. Not only can this help strengthen your pelvic floor, but it can help relieve menstrual cramps. ⁠
⁠
Here are some helpful tips for using tampons during your Pelvic Floor Exercises: ⁠
⁠
➡️ Tampons can help you connect with your pelvic floor muscles, which in turn, can help you perform Kegels properly. Use the tampon to help activate the muscles you need to be working while doing your exercises.⁠
⁠
➡️ The muscles you relax to take our your tampon, are the same muscles you use you relax during your Kegel exercises.⁠
⁠

The risk of a miscarriage for women with endometri

The risk of a miscarriage for women with endometriosis is almost 80% higher than for women without it.⚠️⁠
⁠
While we need more research into why endometriosis impacts miscarriage, the sad truth is that it is more likely for women who have the condition.❣️⁠
⁠
➡️ If you have signs of miscarriage – vaginal bleeding, pain in your lower back or abdomen, fluid or tissue releasing from your vagina, or a cessation of pregnancy symptoms – you should seek medical attention.⁠

These certain types of nerve damage have the potential to lead to PFD ⬇️⁠
⁠
A variety of causes can create nerve damage that leads to pelvic floor dysfunction, including...⁠
⁠
• vaginal childbirth⁠
• diabetes⁠
• stroke⁠
• heavy metal poisoning⁠
• brain or spinal cord infection or injury⁠
• and multiple sclerosis⁠
⁠
When the nerves responsible for bladder enervation are damaged, it can lead to a condition called neurogenic bladder, which affects millions of Americans. ⁠
⁠
❗Neurogenic bladder can take many forms, but it ultimately leads to a lack of bladder or sphincter control.⁠
⁠
There are other types of nerve damage that can lead to pelvic floor disorders ➡️ for example, injury or irritation of nerves in the vulvar region can lead to a condition called vulvodynia, which causes long-lasting pain, irritation, and burning around the opening of the vagina. ⁠
⁠
Nerve damage to the pudendal nerve, which is the main nerve of the perineum, can lead to pudendal neuralgia. This is a rare condition that leads to pain and discomfort in the pelvis or genitals. ⁠
⁠
And patients with spinal cord injuries may struggle with both bladder and bowel control.⁠
