The pelvic floor is usually not something a person regularly thinks about. Unfortunately, it's not something someone necessarily pays attention to until they experience a problem. When a woman becomes pregnant and has a baby, many women start to recognize just how important their pelvic floor is and that they may need to seek help. Pelvic floor health is not the sexiest topic, but it's a vital one, especially for expecting women and mothers. And today's guest, Dr. Marcy Crouch, is an expert talking with us all about vaginas and the pelvic floor.
