Pregnancy should not be a painful situation.”Dr. Luly Diez“We are not mental health counselors, but we do really show up fully for these women and their rehab.”Dr. Kat Why pain exists during sex with menopausal women; “Aging has a lot to do with hormone shifts. Lack of estrogen can cause the vaginal tissue to atrophy and dry up. So it is two things- the tissue is not as plump and the area is not well lubricated. This is something we treat.” Dr. Kat “Just because you are cleared to have sex or exercise 6 weeks after giving birth doesn’t mean you need to feel ready to do those things. It just means your body has healed and won’t be dangerous for you.” Dr. Luly Diez TIMESTAMPS0:00- 3:15 | Introduction3:15- 12:45 | Dr. Kat and Dr. Luly personal birthing stories12:45- 17:50 | The business of birth and induction17:50- 20:00 | Choosing this career 22:50- 27:00 | About Painless Pregnancy. 27:00- 32:40 | Why it is important to treat the scar area for cesarean moms 32:40- 36:00 | Combatting traumatic c-sections 36:00- 39:35 | Why pain exists during sex with menopausal women 39:35- 41:45 | How common is it for pre-menopausal women to experience painful sex after giving birth41:45- 45:10 | Treating prolapse 45:10- 49:00| Patience in recovery -- PROMOS: Painless Pregnancy is a group of physical therapists located in South Florida who specialize in helping pregnant and postpartum women prevent dysfunction and heal… in the comfort of their own homes.
