Postpartum Dyspareunia
With up to 40% of individuals experiencing dyspareunia at the 2 month mark, this is a conversation that we need to nurture, especially since symptoms can and should be treated. In this episode I speak about 3 common contributors to pain with penetration in the postpartum period, how they may present and potential treatment options. My hope is to reduce stigma and fear through information sharing and improve comfort and confidence when communicating about this topic, whether that’s with a partner, friend or health care provider.
Solo episode:
Candice Langford, pelvic and sexual health physiotherapist.

Vaginismus Medical Management, Dr. Allyson Shrikhande
In todays episode, Dr. Allyson Shrikhande from @pelvicrehabilitation shares generously about a medical management approach to treating patients with GPPPD, namely vaginismus.
We highlight that vaginismus treatment is not one dimensional, and that patients typically engage with a multidisciplinary team (not limited to physiotherapy, psychology and medical doctors). Dr. Shrikhande details the medical facet of treatment utilised by the Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine team.

With an extensive background in mainstream clinical medicine, she also makes use of many alternatives, holistic and homeopathic approaches.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse is a diagnosis often accompanied by fear! Clare is changing this by normalising the narrative and sharing valuable information enriched by personal and clinical experience.

Lil-Lets Bladder Leaks, Megan Ross
Postpartum leaks are common!
Not the norm
And… they can be treated
With this said, we understand that capacity (mental, physical, emotional) does not always allow for immediate intervention or management… we believe that using the correct pads can help take the pressure off, hopefully giving you confidence, relief and reprieve from what may have felt like overwhelm.
We hope that this will help you create the necessary space (mental, physical, emotional) to seek the help you deserve from a health care professional.
I chatted to Megan Ross about the new Lil-Lets incontinence range of pads and liners and she also shared about her personal experience and subsequent passion on the topic.
At the end of this episode, I share a a few details of information that will be valuable in your first consult with a health care professional as well as tips to start to manage your incontinence today!
Todays Guest:
Megan Ross is an award-winning writer, mom, and the responder manager and lead moderator for Lil-Lets Talk, a powerful, free online platform dedicated to answering all your menstrual cycle and incontinence-related questions run by Lil-Lets.

Additional info re. PAP vs HPV screening.
”The new cervical screening test procedure is similar to a Pap smear test. For both tests a doctor or nurse takes a sample of cells from the cervix. However, the Pap smear test used to look for abnormal cells in the cervix, while the cervical screening test looks for HPV infection. The new test for HPV can identify women who could be at risk of cervical cancer earlier than the Pap test could.”

“Low Libido”, Candice Langford
As a pelvic physio working with individuals with painful penetration, the topic of ‘low libido’ comes up a lot. So here are a few foundations that I have found to be helpful in exploring ‘what to do’ about ‘low libido’.
“Low libido” or as you will learn “FSIAD” is a common and juicy topic!
We cover a lot;
Human S. Response Cycles, Arousal NON-CONCORDANCE, DUEL CONTROL MODEL, Responsive Desire…
As well as TOOLS for you to explore!
But this is still just the tip of the iceberg, it’s an interconnected topic with many factors weighing into your experience of altered desire and arousal!
Note; research populations are changing to become more inclusive. If you hear me saying ‘female’ in relation to a study - it is relating to the parameters set in that study. We can assume that the individuals included, identified as ‘female’.
In addition to this, most research is based on heterosexual relationships. This too is changing to include different relationship structures & preferences.

Permission and Sexuality, Catriona Boffard
In listening to Catriona’s Podcast, (Asking for a friend) the topic of “permission” flowed so beautifully and powerfully through each episode!
I was therefore delighted to have her on the Nurture Pod to lean in on the topic!
Catriona shares and helps us identify the potential of this ‘simple’ tool; not only in our comprehensive education but also in our; capacity for pleasure, expression, identity, intimate narratives, expectations, communication…
