How To Use A Pelvic Wand

How To Use A Pelvic Wand

in Articles

More than likely if you are reading this blog, you either currently have a pelvic wand, or are considering using one and we congratulate you on taking the next step towards a pain-free life and getting back to the activities you enjoy doing. Whether you took it upon yourself to purchase one, or your healthcare provider recommended it, you are probably wondering what you do with it now. Don’t fear, NewFlora is here to help guide you through the process.

Pelvic wands are used primarily to treat myofascial pain in the pelvic floor muscles and can be used vaginally or rectally. If you are using a NewFlora wand, or are considering purchasing one (link wand product page), we want to get you oriented to the wand and all the benefits it can provide. You will see that there is one end that is bigger in diameter and will often be used for vaginal insertion, while the smaller end is more ideal for rectal insertion. However, feel free to choose which end you prefer for either rectal or vaginal work.

General guidelines for getting started

  1. Clean your wand. It is very important to clean your wand thoroughly before and after each use with soap and warm water. 
  2. Use Lube. Choose a water based lubricant for silicone wands. Oil or silicone based lubricants break down the material of the dilators. You’ll want a decent amount of lube to minimize discomfort and it can get a bit messy so you may want to grab a towel before you lay down.  
  3. Find your zen. Find a comfortable place to lay down and where you will not be distracted. Lie down with your knees opened outwards. You can use pillows or cushions to support your knees, this will help you ease any tension in your legs and hips when using the dilator. An empty bathtub can be a good place because it provides support to your back and you can rest your legs on the sides of the tub. 
  4. Breathe. Begin to calmly breathe, making sure that your rib cage and belly are expanding all around with each breath,  and limit the amount that your chest is involved. You may want to put on calming music or do a meditation beforehand, especially if the thought of putting anything inside makes you nervous, tense, or fearful.

Using your wand: A step-by-step guide

  1. Choose an end. Either end can be used depending on what feels most comfortable to you. The wider pointed end provides a greater surface area and helps relieve deeper muscles for more general relief whereas the thinner, rounded end allows for easier insertion and can address more focused areas of tension.
  2. Apply lube. Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the wand and at the opening of the vagina or rectum. Do not use petroleum jelly (Vaseline) as it may cause irritation, nor silicone-based lubricant as it will break down the material over time. For tips on finding the right lubricant, check out our hygiene blog here.
  3. Starting the session. Place the wand at the opening of the vagina or rectum, you can use a mirror to help guide you if needed.  This is a good time to check in and make sure your body is still relaxed and your breathing is steady and slow.
  4. Insertion. Slowly, insert the wand, discomfort inserting should be minimal. If you start to feel discomfort, check in with your body and breath before inserting further. As you insert the wand, it should curve to conform to the side wall of the pelvis.
  5. Find the trigger point. Sweep the area, imagining you are going around a clock. Avoid the 12 o’clock as this is the area of the urethra and is not a muscle. Once you find an area that feels tight, or is tender, place steady pressure through the tip of the wand. Hold the wand steady for approximately 45-60 seconds and breathe until you feel a change in the intensity or type of pain.
  6. Repeat the process. Continue to sweep the area finding different points and repeat the release. Do this to both sides of the pelvic floor muscles.
  7. Use vibration. If you notice it is hard to relax, or the pain/tenderness is pretty intense or won't release, our Vibrating Pelvic Wand (link to vibrating wand product page) can help. Vibration helps to distract the brain and give a different sensation, allowing quicker release and often is more comfortable.

We generally recommend using your wand once or twice a day until you begin to notice a change in your symptoms. You can reduce it to 2-3 times per week or continue once per week for maintenance or as part of your self-care routine. Additionally, using your wand regularly may help with reconnecting to your body and pelvic floor. 


Reminders!!

Myofascial pain typically feels dull or achey, and can also be intense but it may also feel sharp or stinging. Myofascial pain should change relatively quickly either in the type of sensation, the intensity of the pain, or both. If you do not experience a reduction in pain or it is becoming worse, first ensure that you are in a comfortable position where you can relax your legs, hips, and abdomen and that you are breathing. When we hold tension in our bodies, our pelvic floor muscles often will stay contracted and not relax. If you still continue to have pain, please check with your healthcare provider.

The amount of time you will need to spend will depend on the severity of your symptoms and how your body is responding. We generally recommend at least 10-15 minutes, especially if you are just getting started. If you are using your wand for maintenance, 5-10 minutes may be sufficient for targeted areas.

If you are experiencing significant pain, or your pain worsens, you may want to consider seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist who can provide more guidance and create an individualized plan for you or review how to use your wand in person. Ask if NewFlora’s Pelvic Wands are right for you!

Why Is Your Vagina Tighter Than Usual? 12 Possible Reasons

Why Is Your Vagina Tighter Than Usual? 12 Possible Reasons

Perhaps you recently had difficulty with penetration with a new partner, or your last gynecological exam was quite uncomfortable, or you are noticing tampons are all of a sudden irritating. Noticing that your vagina feels tighter than usual can be surprising and may lead to concerns about your health and well-being. Approaching this change with an open mind will enable you to adapt and find ways to effectively address the challenge. There are various reasons why you might experience this unexpected change in your body. Understanding the potential causes can help you address the issue with confidence and care. Let's explore some of the most common reasons behind this pelvic health issue. Hormonal Changes Hormones play a significant role in the elasticity and moisture levels of the vagina. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menopause, after childbirth, side effects of certain medications that alter hormones, even changes throughout your  menstrual cycle, can impact your pelvic floor muscles and make your vagina feel tighter. Changes in hormone levels can lead to thinning of the vaginal walls, decreased lubrication, inflammation in the vestibule (the tissue surrounding the opening of your vagina and urethra), and a feeling of tightness. During menopause, hormone levels steadilydecrease, starting with testosterone and eventually impacting estrogen. Eventually, these changes will  lead to changes in the vulvar and vaginal tissues, which in turn could result in a condition known as vaginal atrophy and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). Vaginal atrophy can make the vaginal walls thinner and less elastic, which might contribute to a feeling of tightness; in addition,  changes in hormone status lead to changes  in the vestibule. Hormones are the nutrients for the vestibule and without them, inflammation will arise resulting in undesired symptoms. After childbirth, hormonal changes can also impact the vulvar tissues and pelvic floor muscles, resulting in the feelings of a ‘tight vagina.’. During the postpartum period, hormone levels fluctuate but initially are low,, hormonal levels might take a while to stabilize and can contribute to the same symptoms someone in menopause may experience, there is a new term ‘genitourinary syndrome of lactation’ (GSL) which results in vulvovaginal changes including the elasticity of the vaginal tissue and vestibular inflammation. Lack of Lubrication Lubrication is essential for the comfortable functioning of the vagina. Insufficient lubrication can result in friction, restricting penetration and making the vagina feel tighter. In addition to hormonal changes, this could also be a result of dehydration or reactions to certain medications. In order to manage and alleviate tightness resulting from dryness, make a conscious effort to get adequate hydration, using  lubricants or vaginal moisturizers, or in some instances, vaginal estrogen can improve the amount of discomfort during sexual activity or even the most basic tasks such as sitting or wearing tight fitting clothes. Medication Some medications, including hormonal treatments and certain supplements,  can affect vaginal health. For instance, antihistamines can reduce moisture throughout the body, contributing to vaginal dryness. If you suspect your medications might be impacting your vaginal health, consult with your healthcare provider. There may be alternatives that do not have the same side effects. Stress and Anxiety The connection between your mental health and physical symptoms in your body is significant. Stress and anxiety can impact the pelvic floor muscles without you even realizing it. This involuntary tension can result in more tension, resulting in your vagina feeling tighter or difficulty with penetration of any kind (sex, gyn exams, tampon insertion, etc.).   Pelvic Floor Muscle Spasms Pelvic floor muscles support the organs in the pelvis, including the bladder, intestines, and uterus. Spasms in these muscles, sometimes referred to as vaginismus, can cause the pelvic floor muscles to tighten suddenly, restricting any entrance into the vagina. This can be a response to physical factors or psychological factors like fear of pain. Physical therapy aimed at relaxing and optimizing  the pelvic floor muscles can be beneficial. In some cases, counseling might be recommended to address the underlying psychological factors. Infections and Inflammation Certain infections, such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis, can cause inflammation of the vulvovaginal tissues. This inflammation can make the vagina feel tighter or swollen. Alongside tightness, other symptoms of infections might include itching, burning, or abnormal discharge. Treat these infections promptly with the guidance of a healthcare provider. Allergic Reactions or Irritations Allergic reactions to products such as soaps, lubricants, condoms, or douches can lead to irritation and inflammation of the vulvar tissues and may result in swelling and tightness in the vaginal area. To effectively manage this condition, identify and avoid potential allergens. The first step to overcoming this challenge is practicing proper vulvar hygiene and  paying attention to the products you use and how your body reacts to them. Choose hypoallergenic products designed for sensitive skin to reduce the risk of irritation and remember, your vulva is ‘self-cleaning’ meaning you should not need to use products directly on these tissues unless directed by a healthcare provider. Sexual Activity An increase or decrease in sexual activity can affect vaginal tightness. After a period of abstinence, you might notice more tightness due to decreased regular stretching of the vaginal muscles. Communicate openly with your partner and proceed at a pace that is comfortable for both of you. Foreplay prior to penetration is key for most vulva owners to allow for optimal arousal and lubrication. Furthermore, take action to ease the discomfort associated with vaginal tightness by using sufficient lubrication. Exercise and Physical Activities Certain exercises, particularly those that involve the pelvic floor muscles, like Kegels, yoga, and Pilates, can increase the tone of these muscles, potentially leading to a feeling of tightness. While it’s beneficial to maintain a strong pelvic floor to support pelvic organ functions, it’s also important to focus on exercises that promote the relaxation of these muscles so as to achieve balance. Techniques like deep squats and pelvic floor drops can greatly assist in this regard. Before starting a kegel regime consult with a pelvic floor physical therapist to ensure this is what you need! Dietary Factors Your diet plays a crucial role in maintaining your general health, as well as your vaginal health. Poor dietary choices can lead to dehydration, affecting mucous membranes and leading to dryness and tightness. Apart from drinking plenty of water, consume a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. These help to maintain healthy tissues and adequate lubrication. Underlying Medical Conditions Certain medical conditions that affect moisture levels in the body or negatively affect the area around the vagina can lead to tightness. For example, Sjögren's syndrome affects the body's moisture-producing glands while Lichen sclerosus causes thinning and inflammation of the skin in the vulva and around the vagina. If you have persistent symptoms or suspect an underlying condition, seek medical advice promptly. Early and accurate diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and improve your quality of life. Psychological Factors Beyond physical causes, there are a number of psychological factors that can lead to a tightening of the pelvic floor muscles. This often happens unconsciously when issues such as fear of intimacy, past trauma, or body image problems get out of hand. Talk to a mental health professional to get help for these and other related challenges. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic techniques can provide strategies to manage and overcome these challenges. Solutions to Relief Pelvic Floor and Vaginal Tightness When dealing with tightness in the vaginal area, various therapeutic tools can offer relief and aid in recovery. Let us take a look at some of the most effective solutions. Pelvic Wands A pelvic wand is designed to help alleviate tightness in the pelvic floor muscles by allowing you to reach and gently  Benefits of Using Pelvic Wands Relieves trigger points and muscle knots in the pelvic floor muscles Reduces muscle tension and discomfort Improves blood circulation to pelvic tissues Enhances overall pelvic floor muscle function Offers a non-invasive method to manage pelvic pain and tightness Can be used at home for ongoing maintenance and relief Improves connection and awareness to one’s body Dilators A dilator is a therapeutic device used to gently stretch the vaginal muscles, improving elasticity in order to alleviate the discomfort that comes with vaginal tightness. Dilators come in various sizes and they help to manage conditions like vaginismus and improve comfort during sexual activity or medical examinations. To find the right one, experts recommend starting with the smallest size that fits comfortably. The process involves inserting it into the vagina and allowing it to rest there for several minutes. Over time, as comfort increases, you can gradually move up in size. This process should always be done in consultation with a healthcare provider to ensure correct and safe use.

Vestibulodynia 101: Common Causes And Treatment Strategies

Vestibulodynia 101: Common Causes And Treatment Strategies

Vestibulodynia is a condition that affects many individuals, causing pain and discomfort in the tissue surrounding the opening of the vagina and urethra. This pain can interfere with daily activities and intimate relationships. Various factors, including hormonal changes, infections, allergic reactions, and genetic predispositions, can contribute to this condition. Treatment options are available to help manage and reduce the symptoms. There are, however, different subtypes which are important to understand as this will help to identify the appropriate treatment plan in order to improve your quality of life,restore comfort, and improve intimacy. Hormonal Imbalances Cause Vestibulodynia Hormonal imbalances are a common cause of vestibulodynia in many individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB). Certain stages of life, including menopause and breastfeeding along with medications that alter hormones (birth control pills, cancer medications, certain acne medications, etc) can result in local and systemic changes in estrogen and testosterone levels. These factors can impact the vulvovaginal tissues. The vestibule and vagina require hormones, both estrogen and testosterone for optimal health. Hormonal changes can lead to thinning and dryness of the vaginal tissue. Irritation and inflammation in the vestibule can result in dryness, itching, pain, and discomfort. Local hormonal therapies are often recommended to help replenish the local tissue and relieve symptoms. In the past few decades, hormonal therapies have been under scrutiny and there are several misconceptions related to hormone replacement therapies, local vaginal hormones, and the connection with various health conditions such as blood clots and cancer. It is important to understand that the hormonal recommendations used for vestibulodynia are localized hormones to the vulva. They are not related to your systemic hormone levels and do not require systemic hormones. A specialist may recommend a local estradiol cream or compounded estradiol/testosterone cream to be applied locally to the tissue. This does not cause systemic absorption and has been shown to significantly reduce pain and improve the quality of life for women experiencing hormonally mediated vestibulodynia. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider is essential to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.  Infections Often Lead to Onset of Vestibulodynia Symptoms Infections are another common cause of vestibulodynia. Bacterial, fungal, and viral infections can lead to inflammation and pain in the vestibule area. These infections can disrupt the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina, leading to symptoms of vestibulodynia or other vulvar conditions such as bacterial vaginosis. Treating the underlying infection is essential to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with this condition. Antibiotics, antifungals, and antiviral medications are commonly prescribed to treat infections causing vestibulodynia. It is important to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully eradicated. It is also important to know that if you are suffering from recurring infections, certain medications and hormonal changes may result in pH changes which could be a contributing factor to the infections. Individuals should also follow good hygiene practices to prevent recurring infections, which include avoidance of harsh soaps or irritants to the vulva. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can help monitor and manage these infections effectively. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prevent infections. Eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and practicing safe sex can help maintain the health of the vulva. Chronic Stress Can Significantly Cause Vestibulodynia Pain Chronic stress is a significant factor that can cause vestibulodynia pain. Stress affects the body's ability to manage pain and can exacerbate symptoms of vestibulodynia. High levels of stress can lead to muscle tension, which can increase pain in the pelvic area. Managing stress through various techniques is crucial if you are experiencing  vestibulodynia symptoms. Stress management techniques such as meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises can help reduce chronic stress. These practices promote relaxation and can lower stress levels, which may reduce pain. Regular physical activity and adequate sleep are also important for managing stress and improving overall health. Individuals should incorporate these techniques into their daily routines to manage stress effectively. Professional counseling or therapy can also be beneficial for managing chronic stress. Therapists can help individuals develop coping strategies and address underlying issues contributing to stress. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective in managing stress and chronic pain. Combining these strategies can help individuals experiencing  vestibulodynia and chronic pelvic pain more effectively. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Commonly Causes Vestibulodynia Issues Pelvic floor dysfunction is common in those with vestibulodynia, it can be a cause of vestibulodynia or can develop secondary to vestibulodynia. The pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic organs and play a key role in sexual function. When these muscles are tight or weak, they can cause pain and discomfort in the vestibule area. Physical therapy is often recommended to address pelvic floor dysfunction and relieve vestibulodynia symptoms. Pelvic floor physical therapy involves exercises and techniques to strengthen and relax the pelvic floor muscles. Therapists may use biofeedback, manual therapy, and guided exercises to improve muscle function. Consistent practice of these exercises can significantly reduce pain and improve sexual health. Individuals should work with a trained physical therapist to develop a personalized treatment plan. In addition to physical therapy, lifestyle changes can support pelvic floor health. Maintaining a healthy weight, practicing good posture, and avoiding heavy lifting can prevent pelvic floor dysfunction. Staying hydrated, maintaining  regular bowel movements, and practicing good bladder habits can all help manage and prevent vestibulodynia caused by pelvic floor dysfunction. Nerve Damage Frequently Triggers Persistent Vestibulodynia Pain Nerve injuries can also contribute to vestibulodynia pain. Impact to the pudendal nerve can lead to chronic pain and sensitivity in the vestibule. Nerve injuries may be a result from surgery, childbirth, or compression injuries. Treating nerve-related vestibulodynia often involves a combination of medications and therapies to manage pain effectively. Medications such as pain relievers, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants are commonly used to treat nerve pain. These medications can help reduce pain and improve quality of life. It is important to work with a healthcare provider to find the right medication and dosage. Regular follow-up is necessary to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment. Therapies such as nerve blocks or electrical stimulation can be used to manage nerve pain. These treatments aim to reduce pain signals from the affected nerves. Women should discuss these options with their healthcare providers to determine the best treatment plan. Combining these therapies can provide significant relief from vestibulodynia caused by nerve damage. Allergic & Inflammatory Reactions Often Cause Vestibulodynia Symptoms Allergic reactions are another cause of vestibulodynia, specifically neuroproliferative vestibulodynia. Allergens such as chemicals in hygiene products, laundry detergents, and certain medications can cause irritation to the vestibule. The inflammatory reaction from various irritants can increase nerve density and mast cell proliferation in this tissue, resulting in acquired neuroproliferative vestibulodynia. Patch testing is a common method used to identify allergens causing vestibulodynia. This test involves applying small amounts of potential allergens to the skin and monitoring for reactions. Once the allergens are identified, women should avoid products containing these substances. Switching to hypoallergenic products can help reduce irritation and pain. Using soothing and protective measures may help in managing symptoms. Applying vulvar moisturizers may help to soothe the irritation in the vestibule which may help with reducing irritation with tight clothing, sitting, or other daily activities. Maintaining good hygiene, avoiding douching, or using scented products are critical in those with a predisposition. By avoiding products like these, individuals can reduce their risk of acquired neuroproliferative vestibulodynia. Genetic Predispositions Can Cause Vestibulodynia in Some Cases Genetic predispositions can be a cause of vestibulodynia in both hormonally mediated and neuroproliferative cases. Certain genetic factors can make individuals more susceptible to this condition. In those suffering from hormonally mediated vestibulodynia, research shows that there is a change in the androgen (testosterone) receptor which can predispose those taking birth control pills to experience this condition. Individuals with neuroproliferative vestibulodynia (either life-long or acquired) may have certain gene and inflammatory markers being explored in research. Currently, the genetic factors are only being explored in the research and we do not have a way to clinically assess who may be predisposed Hopefully, with ongoing research efforts, we can have a better understanding before prescribing birth control pills or certain topical medications.   Chronic Pain Syndromes and Vestibulodynia Chronic pelvic pain syndromes are often associated with symptoms of vestibulodynia. Conditions such as fibromyalgia, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, pudendal neuralgia, and irritable bowel syndrome can lead to chronic pain and sensitivity in the vestibule. Vestibulodynia symptoms may be a direct result of these conditions, have overlapping symptoms, or be caused by medications used as first-line therapies, such as in endometriosis. A thorough evaluation is crucial for identifying the various factors involved in these chronic pelvic pain syndromes and essential for finding the appropriate treatment plan and alleviating vestibulodynia symptoms. Treating chronic pain syndromes involves a combination of medications and therapies. Pain management such as pain relievers, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants along with botox, nerve blocks, or trigger point injections may be prescribed to manage pain. Physical therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy can also be effective in managing chronic pain. Individuals should work with their healthcare providers to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Lifestyle changes can also support the management of chronic pain syndromes. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management techniques can help reduce pain. Women should also practice good sleep hygiene and maintain a balanced lifestyle. These measures can effectively manage vestibulodynia and  chronic pelvic pain syndromes.  Maintain Pelvic Health and Enhance Sexual Health with NewFlora’s Pelvic Wands Explore our range of pelvic wands designed to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with vestibulodynia.

Pelvic Wand Benefits: How It Can Bring Relief and Ease Your Worries

Pelvic Wand Benefits: How It Can Bring Relief and Ease Your Worries

In a world where discussions about pelvic health are often shrouded in whispers, understanding and relief can seem just out of reach. This guide aims to shed light on the use of a pelvic wand, a tool that not only mitigates discomfort but can empower you on your journey toward liberation and optimal health. Discover the amazing benefits of using a pelvic wand and the transformative impact it can have on your life. Understanding Pelvic Wands A pelvic wand is designed to provide targeted relief to the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the pelvic organs and play a significant role in urinary, bowel, and sexual functions. When these muscles are tight, weakened, or in spasm, it can lead to dysfunction resulting in discomfort, pain, and a decrease in quality of life. The pelvic wand has a unique shape and design that allows for precise control and access to deep tissues, making it an invaluable resource for those suffering from pelvic floor disorders. Key Benefits of Pelvic Wands ●        Targeted Muscle Relief One of the primary pelvic wand benefits is its ability to offer targeted relief. By providing direct access to tense muscles, it allows you to gently massage and release knots and tension spots within the pelvic floor. This targeted approach is often more effective than general therapy techniques, as it addresses the root cause of discomfort directly. ●        Enhanced Muscle Function Regular use of a pelvic wand can significantly improve muscle elasticity and function. It alleviates tightness and promotes relaxation within the pelvic floor, which in turn improves bladder and bowel function, reduces pain during intercourse, and provides an overall enhancement in pelvic health. For muscle tension and pain, a vibrating pelvic wand may help to enhance blood circulation in the pelvic region, contributing to the overall relaxation of pelvic floor muscles. An improvement in circulation and muscle relaxation can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing conditions like vaginismus, pelvic floor dysfunction, or chronic pelvic pain. In addition to increased blood flow, the vibration may act as a distraction, giving the brain an additional input of information and essentially ‘distracting’ from the pain. ●        Non-Invasive Solution For many, the appeal of the pelvic wand lies in its non-invasive nature. It provides a discreet, at-home solution for managing and mitigating pelvic floor issues without the need for surgical interventions, pharmaceuticals, or pain management strategies like injections (i.e. botox or trigger point injections). This aspect is particularly beneficial for those who prefer gentle and holistic approaches to pelvic health. ●        Empowerment and Autonomy Using a pelvic wand can empower you to take an active role in your healing process. It offers autonomy and convenience, allowing for self-treatment in the comfort and privacy of home. Many individuals who have pelvic pain often describe being disconnected from their body, using a pelvic wand offers a way to improve this connection to your body, especially the pelvic floor. These two factors will boost your confidence and give you a positive outlook on the healing journey. Incorporating Pelvic Wands into Your Routine While the benefits are clear, the effectiveness of a pelvic wand greatly depends on its correct usage. It's important to start slowly, using gentle pressure and gradually increasing as comfort allows. Incorporate the wand into your regular self-care routine to maximize the benefits and promote long-term relief and health. Consult with a pelvic health specialist at NewFlora to get guidance and personalized advice on the proper use to ensure safety and gain the most benefits. We are committed to helping you take back control of your pelvic health. A Gateway to Improved Pelvic Health The benefits of a pelvic wand are far-reaching, offering not just physical relief but also emotional and psychological reassurance. It stands out as a pivotal tool in the landscape of pelvic health care, providing a means to directly address and mitigate the source of pelvic discomfort. Embracing these benefits is just the first of many steps in your journey towards healing, autonomy, and reclaiming pleasure in your life. With the right guidance, you can take back control and make significant strides towards optimal pelvic health.
