the obstetric tract

is most of what we know about prevention & management of female #pelvicfloor disorders too abstract? Providing a forum for critical discussion. #obstract ®

@mariannaalperin @GordonConf @UCSD_ObGyn Hi Marianna - do you have a link/article to the research

1:3 mothers will have some degree of #pelvicfloor dysfunction #postpartum due 2 over stretching, compression etc-this is not an inevitable consequence of having a #vaginal #birth but of failing to appreciate importance of #movement and to #leaveherlegsalone #wheresthephysiology

[Dr Gloria | the art of birth @art_of_birth]

The issue with opening #mothers legs into externalrotation during pushing is not the effect on the bones which is minuscule-but its effect on the #pelvicfloor #nerves etc the best option is to let her follow her instincts & #leaveherlegsalone - training needed if must move legs

@icsoffice We’ve been asked why this abstract not part of live S3 session on childbirth trauma - never mind - the important message is being spread - External thigh rotation during #birth potentially causes most #pelvicfloor dysfunction https://t.co/08xmw5BwxX… #ICSMeeting

My abstract on #birthtrauma and why it’s critical we #leaveherlegsalone is at the #icsmeeting @icsoffice #wheresthephysiology

One of my mothers in 2nd stage showing huge variety of movement possible in an #uprightposition-beautiful transitions of #pelvicfloor & #transverseabdominis helped her #birth without trauma. Can you see what movements happening?#wheresthephysiology #artofbirth #leaveherlegsalone

[Dr Gloria | the art of birth @art_of_birth]

We focus a lot on #cardinalmovementsoflabor for the #baby - but are they overrated - babies move in many ways depending on their mothers #cardinalmovements - if we continue to ignore her the baby will 4ever be a passenger & subject to gross abuse of its #humanrights #artofbirth

[Dr Gloria | the art of birth @art_of_birth]

What is the most important part of the pelvic bone during #birth ? Is it the spine, sacrum, coccyx, or iliac bones? Deciding this makes a huge difference to outcomes and will prevent #birthtrauma #wheresthephysiology #artofbirth

[Dr Gloria | the art of birth @art_of_birth]

Wheres the evidence 4 pushing #mothers knees apart in 2nd stage-it interferes with #cardinalmovements & risks immense trauma- #diastasis #asphyxia #pelvicfloor avulsions #shoulderdystocia #caesarean #instrumentals etc-share &join the #leaveherlegsalone campaign 2 end thispractice

[PelvicSanity @NicoleCozeanDPT]

It 👏🏼 is 👏🏼 not 👏🏼enough 👏🏼 to say your patient has “pelvic floor hypertonicty” or “pelvic floor dysfunction”! 😖 We MUST do more for our patients and find out the reason WHY the pelvic floor is not functioning optimally! #pelvicPT #pelvicphysio

[PelvicSanity @NicoleCozeanDPT]

Kegels are not THE answer for prolapse or incontinence!! 🤯

If you are an MD, ortho PT, personal trainer or other HCP who gives Kegels to their patients on a piece of paper and says “do these ... it should help.”

Please just 🛑 stop ... refer to a pelvic PT first!! #pelvicPT

@Sunday_Post We need to be clear / Would be good to distinguish between a full/ partial removal and a staged removal - in the latter where patients are told upfront will have mesh removed in stages to avoid morbidity - and are forewarned about #mesh remnants -this is transparent.
