Nicola Mulkeen's Three Take Home Tips for Pelvic Floor Health:

Don't suffer in silence - get a referral from your GP if you have any concerns.

Prevention is better than reacting to symptoms once they occur, so it's always a good time to start thinking about your pelvic floor health.

Don't be embarrassed to talk about bladder and bowel problems or sexual health.
