Watch those pelvic floor muscles..

[Hassled]

...because according to this Guardian article:
"By the age of 80... 11% of all women will have undergone an operation for incontinence or pelvic-organ prolapse (when the womb collapses into the vagina and the bladder or bowel can slip out of place)".

read this today too.
I was particularly alarmed by the trampoline warning!

Sadly I worked out recently that my trampolining days are well and truly over .

Work those pelvic floors girls

Speaking as one whos PF collapsed, it really makes life nicer if it does it's job

11% sounds pretty low to me- just over 1:10?

Not disagreeing- already had my op at 37!

I had no idea that PVM collapse was such a common problem - can't have been nice for either of you.

I was 35 - & that was after 6yrs of symptoms

We should as MN to put some sort of header as a reminder to do our daily excercises!

I'm going for my pelvic floor op at the end of the month. Trampoline here I come

We usually have Broccoli to tell us that, COV - I now have a Pavlovian reaction to seeing her name.

Not a bad idea, COV- I'd support that! I always say I'm going to leave post-it's all over the house commanding me to to clench, but I'd be horrified if anyone found them.

You don't have to have PFX on your post-its a dr said write Bananas- anything, as only you know what it means!
