@passion4pelvichealth Replying to @CloudBuster Are those that have been infected with Covid getting more urinary tract infections? Some evidence is saying yes! You can help prevent UTI’s with some simple interventions. Methanamine, D-mannose, cranberry supplements and vaginal estrogen for those in a low estrogen state (menopause), can be very helpful. Talk to your doctor if you are noting more frequent UTI’s. Prevention is always better than having to take too many courses of antibiotics. #uti #urinarytractinfections #bladderproblems #bladderhealth #covid19 #coviduti #askdrsonya #drsonya #womenshealth #urogynecologist #vagtok #fyp ♬ Storytelling - Adriel

@passion4pelvichealth There are many reasons outside if menopause to have vaginal dryness and painful sex. Low dose oral birth control can often cause this in young women.

@passion4pelvichealth #duet with @Barbara Taylor, M.D. menopause causes major changes in the vagina that can be symptomatic. We used to call this vaginal atrophy but that term didn’t truly encompass the spectrum of symptoms associated with these changes. We now say genitourinary syndrome of menopause, or GSM. Dryness, pain with sex, frequent urinary tract infections, urinary frequency… just to name a few symptoms. #womenshealth #urogynecologist #genitourinarysyndromeofmenopause #menopause #menopausesymptoms #menopauseisnotfun #overactivebladder #pelvichealth #bladderhealth ♬ original sound - Barbara Taylor, M.D.
@passion4pelvichealth How old will most women be when they experience prolapse? Most likely in their 70’s. I believe the average age in my practice is 63, but i’ve seen women from 19-98.

@passion4pelvichealth Reply to @autigers81 the answer to this question is unfortunately complicated. If you have a hysterectomy because of prolapse it can increase your tisk for future prolapse requiring surgery. If the hysterectomy is for other indications it may not increase your risk. #pelvicorganprolapseawareness #POP #PROLAPSE #pelvicorganprolapse #womenshealth #urogynecologist #askdrsonya #drsonya #cystocele #rectocele #uterineprolapse #tiktokdoc ♬ Lofi hiphop perfect for travel background music(996331) - IWAI Noriko
@passion4pelvichealth Summer sports and activities can aggrevate conditions of the vulva that women suffer from all year long. Don’t forget to moisturize the vulva. Just like the skin of our face and hands, the vulva requires special attention especially as we get older allure vulvar moisturizer is an all natural cream formulated by me to be gentle enough for your vulva.

@passion4pelvichealth Reply to @shellymclennan pelvic organ prolapse can be there with no symptoms in early stages. As it progresses the most commin symptom is a bulge sensation, feeling like something is in the vagina, like a tampon not sitting right. It can also lead to difficulty emptying the bladder and bowel. #womenshealth #pop #pelvicorganprolapse #urogynecologist #bladderproblems #cystocele #rectocele #uterineprolapse #DrSonya #womenshealth @Dr. Sloane ♬ Lofi hiphop perfect for travel background music(996331) - IWAI Noriko

@passion4pelvichealth #HavaianasLivreDeCliches What is pelvic organ prolapse? A disorder that occurs when pelvic floor muscles or connective tissue weakens or tears. This causes pelvic organs, bladder,bowel, uterus, to fall downward into the vagina similar to a hernia. Women may feel or see tissue coming out of the opening of the vagina as this disorder progresses. The most common symptoms include bulge sensation at the vaginal opening and pelvic pressure.#pop #askdrsonya #womenshealth #DrSonya #pelvicorganprolapse ♬ BORN FOR THIS - Foxxi

@passion4pelvichealth #duet with @pumpupfitness while i love the display of strength of mind and body, as a urogynecologist i can only think of her pelvic floor.

@passion4pelvichealth Pessaries are a great option for management of prolapse in women who choose not to have surgery or may not be good surgical candidates. They can be used short term or long term.
