Preventing pelvic floor issues after childbirth: myth or truth?

Childbirth is a complex journey with many unexpected turns, including the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction.

In this video, I sit down with experts to explore whether strengthening the pelvic floor before vaginal birth can actually make delivery more challenging.

We also delve into the significant risk of pushing for over two hours during labor, which can lead to a high chance of pelvic floor dysfunction.

What are your thoughts on these findings?
