The Resilient Body with Dr. Ar'neka

Ep. 111 The link between Emotional and Mental Health and Pelvic Health feat. Dr. Carlin Reaume

Dr. Ar'neka Cooper Season 2 Episode 111

In this episode, we discuss pelvic health from a different lens.  Many individuals experience fears and worries related to pelvic health issues, such as anxiety about pain, embarrassment about discussing symptoms, concerns about sexual dysfunction, and fears of invasive treatments or surgeries.

The mental health aspects of pelvic health issues are frequently overlooked. The stigma and embarrassment associated with these conditions can prevent individuals from seeking the help they need, further impacting their mental health. Increasing awareness and normalizing conversations about pelvic health and its connection to emotional well-being is essential in addressing this gap and providing comprehensive care.

In this episode, Dr. Carlin and I dive more into the part of pelvic health that is not talked about and that is the emotional and mental health piece.
