Sometimes muscle tone isn&#39;t strong enough to catch this all the time. This might happen due to age, or having given birth vaginally, or something being really fucking funny so there&#39;s extra stress on the pelvic floor.. Strength can often be rebuilt through exercising the pelvic floor. 2025-10-28T10:58:37Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstxs4uj546ll0kqmp8r3zmmuakydezqqz8z9juh3kw3myvny3k8jszyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enzngp3f3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfp9xfz3ma8tc8d9z8fmvcm45rrh32t87qnaevpjqxn2eu9f6j6zsk3l2df'>nevent1q…l2df</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Some common events put extra pressure on the pelvic floor. This includes coughing, sneezing, and a big ol&#39; bark of laughter. In these instances, the pelvic floor needs to work a little harder, and it will squeeze. Usually this happens without any intervention from you. It&#39;s a useful reflex, because it prevents your internal organs from falling out. 2025-10-28T10:56:22Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfp9xfz3ma8tc8d9z8fmvcm45rrh32t87qnaevpjqxn2eu9f6j6zszyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enz3qnamd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgf6vxxx2w3ztz3ex3uspe2ua7gscnja2l9dzvqqm6jkzwacnm5pguy4ef2'>nevent1q…4ef2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Regardless of whether you have a penis or a vagina, everyone has a pelvic floor. It&#39;s a bowl of muscles at, well, the floor of the pelvis. There&#39;s two gaps in the pelvic floor - one where the anus comes out, and a urogenital one. If you have a vagina, the vagina and urethra both exit here. <br/><br/>The human pelvic floor has a couple of very important jobs. First and foremost, is keeping your internal organs inside you. The other is ensuring that peeing and pooing stays under your control. 2025-10-28T10:51:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgf6vxxx2w3ztz3ex3uspe2ua7gscnja2l9dzvqqm6jkzwacnm5pgzyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enztl26z2 It&#39;s the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you&#39;ve all been waiting for.

Sure, you can probably remember the date you had sex. But that doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;ll be the same date as the sperm reaches the egg and they fuse - that can take days. <br/><br/>And even if an egg is fertilised, it may or may not implant. If it does, there&#39;s no clear, obvious physical signs in everyone that it happens.<br/><br/>So overall, it&#39;s just more straightforward to count from first day of last period. 2025-09-26T10:32:11Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz23p2sf7hk8spm7uz9ezsq06lcda0xay5ssvgzp0uymle0mgxwsgzyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enz4v7spc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0alhwn6cuhue3pdxmqjfrl7fsfu4nptd3ypmux3882xu74jnmm8ccyrlkp'>nevent1q…rlkp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Gestational age is calculated from the first date of your last period.

Your menopause is your own. It&#39;s your own journey to discover what works for you and what doesn&#39;t. There remains a dearth of information on menopause which doesn&#39;t originate from someone trying to sell you something. Which is why these coversations need to happen. 2025-04-15T15:12:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszuwsfw5tkf6hday5rt4274d5qmkup3e99ny8qaanm50tygu6kg2gzyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enzg96pyu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2dy2yf27949n74kd4e2cagev3aeztz6tdjpuc4zsffwalvgesltcsd5mxv'>nevent1q…5mxv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>None of this is counting the other lucrative menopause products which have hit the market more recently, when menopause has become more and more visible - things like beauty products with the word &#34;menopause&#34; written on them. 2025-04-15T15:10:35Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2dy2yf27949n74kd4e2cagev3aeztz6tdjpuc4zsffwalvgesltczyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enzmh65up In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrfjxnv9n5hsdvp4jykjcf8xl7u99tqfd02h4l9fy84w2rge7u2csx7xdkp'>nevent1q…xdkp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The majority of that 18 billion USD menopause market is not pharmaceutical drugs, but dominated by dietary supplements such as vitamin pills and probiotics. The evidence for these supplements is varied. Some are demonstrably useful, some might be helpful depending on preparation, and some probably don&#39;t do anything at all. 2025-04-15T15:07:52Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrfjxnv9n5hsdvp4jykjcf8xl7u99tqfd02h4l9fy84w2rge7u2cszyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enzulue6u In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf0cctsq865zf0ullhu97yzpqt9rnz8fv6f07ylcz9k7tqf5s32ccuf8e6m'>nevent1q…8e6m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>In the early 2000s, HRT fell from favour and uptake plummeted. This was due to a widely-reported clinical trial. Even though the results of the study were misreported and the harms of HRT were overstated, it took a while for people to start taking HRT again.<br/><br/>This left an enormous gap in the market for the alternative health industry to take a slice of the menopause pie. 2025-04-15T15:04:04Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf0cctsq865zf0ullhu97yzpqt9rnz8fv6f07ylcz9k7tqf5s32cczyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enzgtlszu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs84m9q3f88pwq039g74ryafgf7jnfeme84vs3dl3ceswgddhw5l6c5r0haj'>nevent1q…0haj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Here&#39;s an example of unethical mid 20th century direct-to-consumer HRT marketing. &#34;Feminine Forever&#34; by Robert A. Wilson advocated fiercely for &#34;the eradication of menopause&#34; via HRT. It later transpired he had been secretly paid by the manufacturers of Premarin, an HRT drug.<br/> <img src="https://s3.masto.ai/media_attachments/files/114/342/568/015/192/081/original/1b2862b10ee2ba70.jpg"> <br/> 2025-04-15T15:00:09Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs84m9q3f88pwq039g74ryafgf7jnfeme84vs3dl3ceswgddhw5l6czyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enznqhumr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst9m40e7vg559wsv0w4ydqkcfxqtqkplkjmd79kqh7hfvtq7plmygxkwn7d'>nevent1q…wn7d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Marketing of these new wonder drugs was aggressive and came from all angles. HRT was marketed to doctors as the key to curing their patients. And it was marketed directly to consumers, sometimes highly unethically. 2025-04-15T14:56:53Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst9m40e7vg559wsv0w4ydqkcfxqtqkplkjmd79kqh7hfvtq7plmygzyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enz42znty In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs29n9nzwepxu4kkhm400wyspvtt2lstyxhd27smdqt6qmdjensqqq7m024y'>nevent1q…024y</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The history of the menopause industry is relatively short. Menopause was largely invisible up until the 19th century, and it wasn&#39;t until the mid 20th century that there was any product to sell. The discovery of HRT medicines at this time was the birth of the industry. 2025-04-15T14:53:01Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs29n9nzwepxu4kkhm400wyspvtt2lstyxhd27smdqt6qmdjensqqqzyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enznzey45 How rich is your menopause making someone else? In 2024, the global menopause market of pharmaceuticals and diet supplements alone was valued at almost 18 billion USD, and this number is projected to keep on rising. 2025-04-15T14:48:40Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs22y6cnwwa5vh364ekz2qw6z6f6ztr0qzya2e22r68dxwm35wrdegzyrm89xej6c77wfgzt3thtzr8yjfjc8g0786cd8gq6na6y6h6c2enzypdlkl Friends, Romans, cunts, it is with a heavy heart that we must show you another horrid old-timey patent.
