    Understanding Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Myths and Facts with Dr. Carolyn Best

    For more information on The Pleasure Principle Conference The Pleasure Principle For more information on Dr. Carolyn Best Dr. Carolyn Best In this engaging episode of The Hole Shebang, Kristen Parise welcomes Dr. Carolyn Best, a seasoned urogynecologist, for an in-depth discussion about pelvic organ prolapse (POP), surgical options, and the misconceptions surrounding these conditions. Dr. Best shares her journey into urogynecology and her passion for impactful, tangible results in women's health. Her experience ranges from Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto to her current position at Halton Healthcare, where she continues to perform surgeries and educate others in the field.   Throughout the conversation, Dr. Best emphasizes the importance of understanding the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, such as a feeling of pressure or bulging in the vagina, which can significantly impact a person's quality of life. The discussion highlights that while these symptoms are common, they often remain misunderstood, leading to unnecessary distress among those affected.   Dr. Best provides clarity on the causes of prolapse, pointing to pregnancy, gravity, chronic constipation, and heavy lifting as potential contributors. While hormones play a role, the exact mechanism remains under study, with changes in estrogen levels affecting tissue integrity and muscle tone more than directly causing prolapse.   Listeners will gain insight into how Dr. Best approaches treatment, considering surgery only when prolapse significantly affects a patient's life and when non-surgical options prove insufficient. She explains the nuances of grading prolapse, focusing on quality of life rather than numerical severity. This approach ensures that treatment is highly personalized, acknowledging the diversity of patient experiences.   Prolapse surgeries, as Dr. Best describes, are typically done through the vagina, minimizing recovery time and the need for invasive procedures. She elaborates on the steps involved in these surgeries, including vaginal hysterectomy and repairing the vaginal walls, while emphasizing non-surgical measures like pelvic floor exercises and pessaries when appropriate.   Dr. Best addresses common concerns about the longevity of surgical outcomes, explaining that while prolapse can recur, each case is unique. She reassures listeners that treatment options remain open, even if prolapse returns, providing a balanced perspective on surgical success rates.   The episode concludes with Dr. Best's theme song choice, "Get Up, Stand Up" by Bob Marley and the Whalers, reflecting her advocacy for women's health and the continuous fight for improved awareness and care.   This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in women's health, providing expert insights and practical advice on managing pelvic organ prolapse with warmth, humor, and a wealth of experience.

    Pessaries with Kristen Parise and Dr. Maureen Macdonald

    For more information about Blueberry Therapy Blueberry Therapy For more information about The Pleasure Principle Conference The Pleasure Principle In this engaging episode of The Hole Shebang Podcast, Dr. Maureen Macdonald hosts an insightful conversation with Kristen Parise, a pelvic health physiotherapist specializing in women's health issues, particularly pelvic organ prolapse and pessaries. Pelvic organ prolapse, a common condition affecting up to 50% of women, involves the descent of pelvic organs due to weakened support structures. Kristen emphasizes that this condition is prevalent but often unaddressed, partly due to a lack of awareness and conversation.   The discussion starts with a detailed introduction to vaginal pessaries, devices used to support pelvic organs, much like how a knee brace supports a weakened knee. Pessaries are presented as a versatile solution for women of all ages, from those in their twenties postpartum to women over 100 years old. Kristen highlights their effectiveness not only in managing symptoms but also in potentially preventing further progression of prolapse by providing necessary structural support.   Kristen and Maureen explore the anatomy and function of the pelvic floor, emphasizing its vulnerability to gravity and life's physical demands. They discuss how prolapse can manifest differently in women, with varying symptoms such as the sensation of heaviness, urinary difficulties, and bowel issues. Kristen explains the grading of prolapse severity and underscores that even minor prolapse can significantly impact a woman's quality of life, making day-to-day activities challenging.   The podcast delves into the assessment process for pelvic floor health, demystifying what might seem an intimidating experience. Kristen describes a comprehensive approach that includes lying and standing assessments to understand the true extent of prolapse and ensure effective treatment planning. Emphasizing a holistic approach, Kristen talks about collaborating with other healthcare professionals to provide well-rounded support for women, acknowledging the role of teamwork in optimal pelvic health management.   Preventive measures are also a critical component of the conversation. Kristen advocates for early education and pelvic floor health awareness, suggesting that pelvic health assessments should be as routine as annual physicals, especially before childbirth. Proper understanding and strengthening of the pelvic floor, managing constipation, maintaining healthy weight, and mindful physical activity are recommended to minimize the risk of prolapse.   Another key point of discussion is the innovation in pessary design. Kristen shares her excitement about new developments in custom pessaries, which offer more comfortable, personalized fits compared to standard models. This innovation provides hope for those who previously struggled with standard pessary discomfort.   Overall, this episode is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand pelvic organ prolapse better and explores the role of pessaries as a supportive, effective solution. The key takeaway is clear: there is hope and help available, and conversations like these are the first step in lifting the veil on women’s pelvic health issues.
