About this episode

The Growing Concern: Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Menopausal Women Prevalence: Studies show that pelvic floor disorders affect nearly 50% of postmenopausal women. The decline in estrogen weakens pelvic muscles, leading to urinary incontinence, prolapse, and sexual dysfunction.   Knowledge Gap: A recent survey found that many menopausal women lack awareness about pelvic floor health and available treatments. This lack of education prevents women from seeking help early.    Workforce Impact: With women over 50 making up a significant portion of the labor force, untreated pelvic floor issues can lead to absenteeism, reduced productivity, and increased healthcare costs.
