Episode 11: Stress Incontinence - How to Sneeze, Jump, and Laugh Again Without Leaking
If you cross your legs before sneezing, avoid your once-favorite HIIT class, or laugh so hard you need more than a tissue, you're not alone. And despite what you've been told, stress incontinence isn't "just a part" of motherhood or aging. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca and Dr. Alex debunk the myths keeping people suffering in silence and offer real, evidence-based solutions for leaking. Whether you're postpartum, an athlete, or just tired of planning life around bathrooms, we'll give you the tools to reclaim confidence and ditch the "just in case" pads.
What You’ll Learn
- "Stress" incontinence isn't about life stress (but may involve everyday habits working against you).
- Why TikTok's "engage your core all day" advice is terrible (& may ruin your sex life).
- Why addressing a "minor" leak in your 30s could keep you out of a nursing home in your 80s.
- How to tell if your pelvic floor is stuck in "overdrive".
Tune In If You’ve Ever Thought
- "I just have a weak pelvic floor from having kids."
- "I've never had kids, so why am I leaking during workouts?"
- "I do Kegels all the time, so why am I still leaking?"
- "It's just a minor annoyance—I can live with it."
