Episode Description:

Pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the most common yet least talked-about issues women face—and it affects everything from intimacy and confidence to basic daily comfort. In this episode, we’re back with Dr. Erica Lambert, board-certified urologist and founder of Uplift Medical Aesthetics, to break the silence around what’s really going on “down there.”

We cover what the pelvic floor actually is, how to know if yours might not be functioning the way it should, and the treatments that go far beyond kegels. Kristina shares her own experience of realizing symptoms she thought were “just normal” were actually signs of pelvic floor dysfunction—and how addressing them made her feel more connected to her body again.

This is part two of our conversation with Dr. Lambert (catch part one in Episode 30 for her background and a deep dive into perimenopause and hormones).
