What if your pelvic pain, urgency, or bladder flares aren’t just random—or even “just hormonal”?
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Meagan Schwarzrock, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist and founder of Pelvic Confidence, to unpack the complex connection between hormone fluctuations, pelvic floor dysfunction, and bladder symptoms. From your first period to pregnancy to menopause, hormones shape so much of what’s happening in your pelvic health—but they’re only one part of the picture.
We explore how shifts in estrogen can affect bladder function, why tracking your cycle might give you more answers than you think, and how your nervous system plays a role in amplifying pain and urgency. We also talk about the common misconceptions around pelvic pain and why so many women are still told surgery is their only option.
You’ll learn:
✅How hormonal changes throughout life stages impact bladder and pelvic floor function
✅Why estrogen is essential for pelvic tissue health (especially post-menopause)
✅How to identify symptom patterns by tracking your cycle
✅The surprising role your nervous system plays in symptom flares
✅Why pelvic floor PT is an underused but powerful tool for relief
Whether you’re dealing with cyclical pain, chronic urgency, or navigating a hormonal shift, this episode will give you the insight—and hope—you need to take the next step.
