Urinary incontinence: why aren’t women talking about it?
Interesting read. I feel that treatment should progress from least invasive ie Physio and appropriate pelvic floor exercise program to more invasive ie electrical stim to surgical intervention. But interesting that it's recommended to avoid pelvic floor exercises straight away after delivery to allow for rest..makes sense (and I think that's what we do anyway,so now it's guilt-free!)
