You finish your wee.
You stand up.
Then… surprise dribble.

Or maybe it’s that heavy, dragging, “something’s not right” feeling.

In this episode, Ruth and pelvic health physio Lizzie tackle one of the most common — and least talked about — women’s health issues: prolapse.

Up to 50% of women who’ve had a vaginal birth may experience some level of prolapse. Yet most of us are sent home with zero guidance on what that actually means for exercise, running, lifting, sex, or simply living comfortably.

We cover:

• What prolapse actually is (in plain English)
• Why it happens
• That “bulge” or “egg” feeling
• The link with bladder symptoms
• Can you still run, lift, or train?
• Why outdated blanket advice needs to go
• Simple, practical tips that genuinely help

The big message?
Prolapse is not life-threatening. But it can shrink your world if fear takes over.

This episode is about reclaiming confidence, getting properly assessed, and understanding that the question isn’t “Can I exercise?”

It’s “How can I get strong?”

Honest. Practical. No fluff.
