Oral Contraceptives and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction | Pelvic Health & Rehab Center

Thank you for sharing this important information! Women deserve to know this upfront so they can make informed decisions, especially about something that can have negative effects that don't stop when you stop taking it. From a pelvic floor health standpoint, what do you think would be the best birth control choice? I had a copper IUD after the pill and am guessing they can cause some issues too..

Informed decision making is key! There are pros and cons to every type of birth control. Check out this link to read about those pros and cons. pelvicpainrehab.com/uncategorized/20286/birth-control-reviewing-your-options-and-their-differences/ The copper IUD is unique because it is the only implantable, non-hormonal option. Because it is non-hormonal, the side effects will be different from oral contraceptives.

What? Taking the pill is causing weak bladder & pelvic floor dysfunction? Honestly? ...I'm confused. You're video is a little short. Please help?

Oral contraceptive pills alter the hormones for the whole body. The main change in this video is that it blocks testosterone. This lack of testosterone can cause bladder symptoms and pain.
