This is a dedicated space where we aim to provide insightful, thought-provoking, and practical information that resonates with women. Our mission is to empower you with knowledge about pelvic health, fostering open conversations and breaking down taboos.
Navigating the Information Landscape
The internet is flooded with information on pelvic health—some informative, some not so much. It’s often challenging to discern credible sources from misleading ones. At Intima Health, we strive to be your trusted resource, offering up-to-date, evidence-based content presented in an informal, easy-to-understand manner. Our goal is to dispel common myths and empower you to take control of your pelvic health.
Breaking the Silence
Despite advancements in healthcare, discussions about pelvic health remain limited. Many women, regardless of their confidence in other areas, hesitate to talk openly about issues related to their bladders, vaginas, and bowels. This silence can lead to feelings of isolation for those experiencing conditions like incontinence, prolapse, constipation, or sexual dysfunction. Moreover, it often results in underreporting or delays in seeking medical attention, potentially postponing treatment for conditions ranging from urinary incontinence to more serious concerns.
Empowering Through Education
Our commitment is to create a supportive environment where pelvic health topics are discussed openly and without embarrassment. By providing reliable information and fostering conversations, we aim to empower you to take charge of your health, support loved ones facing these issues and encourage healthcare professionals to join us in this educational journey.
Dispelling Common Myths
Misinformation can hinder proper understanding and management of pelvic health. Let’s address some prevalent myths:
Fact: Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect individuals of all ages, not just older adults. Factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, obesity, chronic constipation, and certain medical conditions can contribute to pelvic floor issues in people of varying ages.
Myth: Bladder leakage is a normal part of ageing.
Fact: While urinary incontinence is more common as women age, it isn’t “normal” or an inevitable part of ageing. Urinary frequency or incontinence should be addressed when it affects quality of life.
