What the pelvic floor does
No leaks
- Bladder. It stores urine. When you cough or laugh, the pressure in your abdomen pushes down on it.
- Womb. It rests on the pelvic floor muscles, which support it along with the bladder and bowel.
- Pelvic floor. A hammock of muscles that supports the organs and closes off the outlet for urine. Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken it.
Your fertility assessment, step by step
Ovarian reserve
A specific ultrasound scan and a simple blood test. It can be done even if you are not planning a pregnancy in the near future.
Pelvic floor: you do not have to settle
The NHS reminds us that pregnancy and childbirth can weaken the muscles that control the flow of urine, and recommends seeing a doctor for any type of incontinence. The first step is usually a combination of pelvic floor exercises, bladder training and lifestyle changes. When that is not enough, the clinic offers anti-incontinence surgical techniques and pelvic floor surgery and laparoscopy.
Fertility: asking for help in good time
The WHO defines infertility as the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sex, and estimates that it affects approximately 1 in 6 people of reproductive age. Dra. Carrascosa's consultation assesses the couple and, where appropriate, suggests basic techniques for fertile window monitoring and ovulation induction.
What to expect at the first visit
An unhurried conversation about your symptoms and history, an examination and whatever tests are needed on the spot. By the end you will know what is happening, what options you have and what the next step is.

Do you leak urine when you cough, laugh or exercise?
