Summary

You should never pee when you laugh. You can see a midwife for non-pregnancy health exams like pap smears. And you can even insert your own speculum at the gynecologist if that makes you more comfortable. We revisit all the things we learned about pelvic health from our Pelvic Power episode.

0:00.0	Welcome to Call Your Girlfriend, a podcast for long-distance festies everywhere.
0:06.0	I am Amina Tusso, and I'm Anne Friedman.
0:09.3	We are now in what could officially be termed deep break, and we have more archival goodness on today's show.
0:15.1	Today's archival goodness is about pelvic power.
0:18.8	Are we at the part of the break where we just start doing pelvic exercises?
0:23.8	What would life be like to voting a whole day to pelvic exercises? That is almost terrifying to me.
0:30.0	Oh my god, you gotta put it in the calendar. My calendar has an alert for pelvic floor exercise,
0:35.5	and then we do them. It's like doing your stretches, and then you're done, and then you're done.

1:40.1	therapist with special training in pelvic health. And it was really nice to talk to all three of them
1:45.6	because they just really, you know, there are all kinds of people on the healthcare spectrum
1:52.2	who are invested in your pelvic health. And people who are, I would say, really, really patient-minded
1:59.3	and very forward thinking in how they treat their patients. And it was just so, it was so nice
2:06.4	to find people where you're like, okay, like these are not, they're not outliers in the healthcare
2:11.9	system. The healthcare system is full of people like this, and you just have to know how to find them.
2:16.4	And also pelvic health is really important. And it's something that is so under-discussed.
2:20.9	And I'm really glad that we were able to devote an episode to that.
