Did you know pelvic organ prolapse can impact younger women too? Factors like pregnancy, childbirth, heavy lifting, and even chronic coughing can weaken your pelvic floor, leading to prolapse. It’s not just an age-related issue—women in their 20s and 30s are at risk, especially if there’s a family history or certain lifestyle habits in play.

However, there are ways to protect your pelvic health. Regular pelvic floor exercises, maintaining a healthy weight, and being cautious with heavy lifting can make a big difference.

Did you know that COVID-19 could impact your pelvic health?

Chronic coughing, common in COVID-19, can lead to urinary incontinence, f***l incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse.

Why does this happen? Every time you cough, your abdominal muscles contract, increasing pressure on your pelvic floor. Over time, this repetitive pressure can weaken these muscles and tissues, leading to bladder and bowel control issues.

If you've had COVID-19 and are experiencing pelvic health issues, we recommend talking to a health professional.

The Pelvic Floor: A True Superstar! 🌟⁣
⁣
Your pelvic floor plays a crucial role in supporting your bladder, bowel, and uterus. However, when it becomes weakened or stretched, the pelvic organs can descend through the vaginal canal, leading to pelvic organ prolapse (POP).⁣
⁣
Many of us aren't taught about the pelvic floor, so it's no surprise that we don't think about it until issues arise. That's why our social channels are dedicated to raising awareness about the pelvic floor and POP.⁣
⁣
We're developing a custom pessary to match your unique anatomy and support with managing symptoms of prolapse. Our goal is to create a pessary that is:⁣
⁣
- More comfortable⁣
- More secure⁣
- Easier to insert and remove than existing options⁣

While we can't completely prevent pelvic organ prolapse (POP), there are strategies you can use that can help reduce the risk of developing it. If you are diagnosed with POP or develop it in the future, remember it is not your fault. POP can occur for many reasons, so please don't blame yourself. The goal of this post is to provide education on what you can control to maintain a healthy pelvic floor.⁣

We came across an inspiring Reddit post and wanted to share it with you! Hearing others' success stories can often provide much-needed comfort and hope. Remember, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and ways to manage pelvic organ prolapse.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition affecting many women, but there are strategies to help manage its symptoms. Strengthening your core muscles, maintaining good bathroom habits, and practicing safe lifting techniques are just a few ways to alleviate POP symptoms.⁣

06/19/2024

There's a common belief that heavy lifting can cause or worsen pelvic organ prolapse (POP). But what does the evidence say? Let's break it down:

The Facts:

1. Benefits of Strength Training: Contrary to popular belief, weightlifting, when done correctly, can actually strengthen pelvic floor muscles. Stronger pelvic muscles can support your organs better and potentially reduce the risk of prolapse.

2. Proper Technique Matters: Using correct form and breathing techniques can significantly minimize the risk. Engage your core, avoid holding your breath (which can increase intra-abdominal pressure), and lift with your legs, not your back.

3. Consider Individual Factors: Your risk of developing prolapse from lifting is influenced by pre-existing conditions, genetics, and overall pelvic floor health. If you have a history of pelvic floor issues, you may be more susceptible.

4. Listen to Your Body: It’s crucial to pay attention to your body's signals. If you feel discomfort or symptoms of prolapse (like a bulging sensation), stop and consult with a healthcare professional.

5. Consult Professionals: Before starting or continuing a heavy lifting routine, it’s wise to consult with a pelvic floor specialist or physiotherapist. They can provide personalized advice and techniques to ensure you lift safely. Additionally, if you have hypertonic (extremely tense) pelvic floor muscles, some exercises can cause further strain and aggravate existing muscle tension. Please consult with a provider for personalized guidance.

Remember, strength training is beneficial, but like all exercises, it should be done with proper technique and awareness of your body's limits.

Discover how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare in our latest video! 🌟

AI, which refers to computer systems that can learn, recognize patterns, and make decisions like humans, is transforming the medical field. From diagnosing illnesses with incredible accuracy to monitoring patients in real time, AI is enhancing the way doctors provide care.

By analyzing vast amounts of medical data quickly and precisely, AI helps detect conditions early, ensuring timely and better outcomes for patients.

At FemTherapeutics, we're harnessing AI to create custom pessaries tailored to each woman’s unique anatomy and condition, providing a truly personalized approach to treatment.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is often surrounded by silence, shame, and embarrassment. Many women hesitate to discuss their symptoms, whether with friends, family, or even their physician.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You may feel like you're the only one dealing with this issue, but that’s far from the truth. Over 90% of women with pelvic organ prolapse do not consult with their doctors. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It’s important to seek support from your community and doctors. Know that if you are living with prolapse, you are not alone. ⁣⁣⁣

Today marks the anniversary of the 1993 NIH Revitalization Act, which legally required the inclusion of women in clinical trials.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Before this act, women were often excluded from clinical trials, resulting in a lack of understanding of how various treatments affected them. The 1993 NIH Revitalization Act was a critical step toward ensuring that women receive the same level of care and consideration in medical research as men.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
At FemTherapeutics, we are committed to advancing women's health through innovation and personalized care for pelvic health conditions. Join us in honoring this milestone and advocating for comprehensive women's health research.⁣⁣⁣

“It’s unbelievable that prolapses are so common, often debilitating, and are not part of the discourse about birth injury and postpartum recovery. I had to fight to get an in-person follow-up appointment two weeks after birth, meanwhile my kid has had three. Plus, I feel like I can’t tell friends and family about it without the symptoms being minimized or dismissed, partly because no one has heard about it. Why are we so hyper-focused on “bouncing back” visually but not functionally?”

Reading stories like this fuels our passion for developing better solutions for women with POP. You deserve to be heard and supported.

How FemTx Came to Be

Inara Lalani, CEO and Co-Founder of FemTherapeutics shares the story of how FemTherapeutics came to be. The idea was sparked during the McGill Surgical Innovation program, where Inara and Negin (CTO + Co-Founder) shadowed Dr. Gangal (CMO + Co-Founder) in the OR to understand the pain points of traditional pessaries and the frequency of hysterectomy surgeries. They found that pessaries, one of the oldest medical devices, hadn't evolved much over decades and could be improved. Driven to bridge this gap, FemTherapeutics was founded with the mission of developing customized pessaries tailored to each patient's specific condition. Check out our website to learn more about us: www.femtherapeutics.com.

Happy Anniversary, FemTx!

Happy anniversary to FemTx! We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our phenomenal team, dedicated investors, unwavering supporters and everyone in between who has played a part in shaping FemTx into what it is today. It truly takes a village, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such an amazing community! We can’t wait to see what the next few years hold for us! With lots of plans in the works and exciting milestones on the horizon, we’re feeling optimistic and thrilled for what’s to come. Here’s to many more years.
