Pre-natal and Post-partum Dyspareunia (or painful intercourse)
I wanted to share this series of educational articles on a very sensitive condition – Dyspareunia or painful intercourse, which affects 1 in 10 women in North America. It can be a problem that affects women pre-natally and post-partum. It is not normal to have painful intercourse before or after having a baby. Thankfully there is effective treatment for this pain - Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy.
As a practitioner focusing on women’s health issues, I am passionate about raising awareness and promoting health and wellness. I am also very excited about how well this condition responds to pelvic floor physiotherapy. Women often will shy away from talking about this problem and don’t often realize that this pain is not normal and can be completely resolved with appropriate care. Thank you for taking the time to share this with other women. Please contact me should you have any questions. Read up on Dyspareunia at YolatesRehab.com.Click here to get the article.
