This episode hit different. 😅

In this episode of the Women's Health Podcast, Dr. C and Kim step outside the clinic and into the living room talking about marriage, mental load, intimacy, and why so many men feel like they're disappearing from the home.

They get into it all: why household roles changed faster for women than men, the real reason a lot of women lose interest in sex (hint: it's not about attraction), why infidelity is often a symptom and not the actual problem, and the three things honesty, humility, and the willingness to hear that can change the direction of a relationship.

This isn't about picking sides. It's about understanding each other better, communicating without contempt, and building a partnership that can actually go the distance.

Married, dating, healing from something, or just nosy? This one's for you. 🎙️

But what if the back pain that showed up years later is connected to it? What if the pelvic floor issues you're dealing with now started in that operating room? What if nobody ever told you, because the system never linked it either?

In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Leroy Campbell (Dr. C) and co-host Kimberly Hoffman Reid go beyond the surgery itself and into the long-term complications that most women are never warned about and never get the rehabilitation they need to prevent.

This is the conversation that happens years too late for too many women. We're having it now.

📌 KEY TAKEAWAYS

─────────────────────────────

✔ Low risk does NOT mean no risk, a C-section is major abdominal surgery, every single time

✔ Nerve damage from a C-section can last years,  numbness, shooting pains, and sensitivity are all common and rarely discussed

✔ Your C-section does not protect your pelvic floor, the baby rested on it for nine months regardless

✔ Back pain years after a C-section is often linked to core dysfunction, not coincidence

✔ The average woman waits 42 days for pelvic floor physiotherapy after a C-section and in most countries, she never gets it at all

✔ Healed and functioning are two very different things

✔ The right birth decision is the one made with full information, not fear, not culture, not pressure
