Postpartum Dyspareunia  With up to 40% of individuals experiencing dyspareunia at the 2 month mark, this is a conversation that we need to nurture, especially since symptoms can and should be treated. In this episode I speak about 3 common contributors to pain with penetration in the postpartum period, how they may present and potential treatment options. My hope is to reduce stigma and fear through information sharing and improve comfort and confidence when communicating about this topic, whether that’s with a partner, friend or health care provider.  Solo episode:Candice Langford, pelvic and sexual health physiotherapist.More from Candice IG: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/nurtureyourvagina/'>@nurtureyourvagina </a><a href='https://nurturepelvichealth.com/'>NurturePelvicHealth.com</a> Use the code NURTUREPOD for a 20% discount on any course.
