An important article by @gabyhinsliff on the struggle many women face with heavy bleeding in perimenopause, particularly in how it can affect their quality of life. Crucial to let women know they don't need to suffer in silence. #perimenopause #periods mtr.cool/arcdzyweit

Straining whilst opening our bowels is a significant risk factor for developing PF problems Going to the toilet breathing deeply in a squat position, aids the PF muscles to relax & allows us to go without straining Grab a step to put under your feet instead when on the toilet
