Ep. 47 - Postpartum Bladder & Bowel Issues No One Told You About

This episode of the Marrón Pelvic Health Podcast, hosted by Dr. Kari Roberts, discusses the postpartum bladder and bowel issues that many women experience after childbirth but are rarely prepared for. From urinary leakage and urgency to constipation and difficulty controlling bowel movements, these symptoms are more common than most people realize and can significantly impact daily life and confidence. Dr. Roberts explains how pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery can affect the pelvic floor and contribute to these concerns. The podcast emphasizes that these symptoms are not something women simply have to “live with,” and that pelvic physical therapy can play an important role in restoring function, improving control, and supporting recovery after birth. Awareness, education, and proper treatment are key to helping postpartum women heal confidently and comfortably.
