Pelvic Floor, Prolapse and Menopause
Physiotherapist Candice Kwok joins EverCalm Menopause to unpack what really happens to the pelvic floor during perimenopause and menopause. She explains genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), different types of urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse in clear, body‑positive language. Candice shares practical ways to prevent and manage symptoms, from toilet posture and constipation care to lifting techniques, low‑impact exercise, pelvic rest positions and smarter Kegels. She also highlights the emotional impact of leaking and prolapse, and why women don’t have to “just live with it.”
In this episode, we cover
- What GSM is and how low estrogen affects pelvic tissues.
- Stress vs urge incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
- Toilet posture, constipation care and lifting strategies.
- When and how to use Kegels, reverse Kegels and pelvic rest.
