Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Not the postpartum recovery you expected

Dr. Kwiatkowski shares her expertise in supporting postpartum recovery and highlights the critical connection between pelvic floor health and successful breastfeeding.

Dr. Margo joined Dr. Carrie Pagliano on the Active Mom Podcast in January 2024. They discussed Margo's role as a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist and how she navigated her postpartum experience with POP.

Margo shared her personal prolapse story after giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Margo discussed the challenges of diagnosing and managing prolapse symptoms, including her experiences with bladder dysfunction, pelvic pain, and the emotional toll the condition took on her.

Margo is currently acting as a member of the medical board for Intimina for all things pelvic floor therapy. She works with Intimina to provide and promote educational information about pelvic health.

Margo and John discuss all things pessary. What they are, why Bioteque products are superior, how to care for a pessary, and more. They also spoke about how to find the best provider to help you, and how to know if you found the right pessary. The most thrilling news is that 3D printed pessaries are “closer to reality than not.”

“In this third installment of the pelvic floor series, Dr. Laura and Dr. Beth welcome pelvic health specialist Dr. Margo Kwiatkowski for an in-depth conversation about pelvic organ prolapse:

  • What it is

  • Why it happens

  • Most crucially, why it doesn’t have to mean the end of lifting, movement, or feeling strong in your body.
