Whether it's doctors not asking the right questions or patients feeling embarrassed asking any questions, pelvic health is often overlooked, especially in cancer care.
In this episode of The Cancer Pod, Tina and Leah speak with Dr. Alex Hill, oncology physical therapist and pelvic health specialist. Dr. Hill shares invaluable insights and practical strategies for addressing common issues like urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and constipation. Join us in this enlightening discussion about the tools of the trade, types of pelvic floor exercises (Spoiler: It's not just Kegels), and why hovering while peeing may not be good for you.
