Thriving in Your Body: The Real Talk on Women’s Health with Dr. Maria Canter
The whispered conversations in women's locker rooms and quiet confessions between friends reveal a universal truth: pelvic health affects virtually every woman, yet remains shrouded in uncomfortable silence. This powerful episode pulls back the curtain on the taboo topics of urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction with renowned urogynecologist Dr. Maria Cantor.
"Over 50% of women experience urinary incontinence," Dr. Cantor reveals, debunking the myth that these issues only affect a small minority. From the woman who avoids laughing too hard at parties to the new mother afraid to return to exercise, these conditions profoundly impact quality of life—yet many suffer needlessly, unaware of the range of treatments available beyond surgery.
The conversation ventures into territory rarely explored in public forums: the surprising parallels between postpartum and menopausal bodies, the complex interplay of hormones affecting sexual health, and the revolutionary non-surgical interventions transforming women's care. Dr. Cantor explains how pelvic floor physical therapy, vaginal pessaries, and targeted hormonal treatments offer relief without requiring major procedures.
Perhaps most eye-opening is the discussion of sexual health across life's transitions. "When you think about it, if your thyroid isn't working anymore, your doctor gives you thyroid medication... but if your ovaries stop creating estrogen, what are we to do?" This frank examination of how hormonal shifts affect everything from libido to lubrication offers validation and solutions for women at every life stage.
Whether you're a new mother experiencing unexpected changes, an active woman dealing with exercise-related leakage, or someone navigating the complexities of menopause, this episode provides the information, reassurance, and treatment pathways too often missing from women's healthcare conversations. Listen, share, and help break the silence that keeps too many women from thriving physically at every stage of life.
