Girls/Women unable to use tampons or tolerate OBGYN exam
If you always have pain with sex or it is something that is new and started after pregnancy, know that it is not normal.
Sex should not be painful.
There are medical reasons why some women experience pain during intercourse. There are treatment options available to naturally treat the pain by treating pelvic region and muscles without needing medicine or surgeries.
It is not something to be ashamed of. In some cases, it can start to affect relationships when ignored for too long.
Seek help.

Not being able to insert tampons (due to pain or feeling of something blocking it from getting in) is generally an early sign of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Inability to tolerate gynecological exam or it being extremely painful is another early sign of pelvic floor problems in girls/women. So many women present with chronic pelvic pain, years of suffering (in silence without much help) from pain with penetration or inability to have penetrative sex at all generally also have history of inability to use tampons.
It would be worth checking with a pelvic floor physical therapist to see if an early intervention can help prevent years of suffering later.

Well informed moms realize the importance of early post-partum care in order to achieve healthy lifestyle in a long run.
The ones who know back pain, weak abdominal muscles, urine leakage, bladder problems, pain with intercourse are not normal after delivery and the sooner they find help to treat these problems, the faster will be their recovery. The ones who know they shouldn't be leaking urine in their yoga, aerobic or zumba workouts.
This is also a preventative medicine practice where we can help you avoid bladder, bowel and other pelvic floor problems years down the road secondary to unhealed changes from pregnancy and delivery.

Age is a number.
You are as young as you feel in your body and mind.
Urine leak is not normal at any age. Just because you are >50-60 years old does not mean you have to accept urine leak as a part of your life or something that you have to live with.
If ignored for a long time, it can lead to more serious problems like frequent urinary infections.

Initial few months after delivering the baby are joyful and equally stressful.
Sleep deprivation and physical exhaustion along with sitting for feeding the baby can lead to postural problems including neck pain, upper back pain with or without radiating pain shooting into the arm.
Learning proper postural techniques and strengthening upper body can help counteract increased front body weight and gravity during breast feeding.
ATHLETES

There are so many runners and high performing athletes, dancers and gymnasts who eventually develop pelvic floor problems, a lot of times due to overactive pelvic muscles.
If you notice pain, urine leak or any other symptoms related to your lower back or pelvic area, don't wait for it to get better on it's own.
Seek professional assessment from a pelvic floor physical therapist to find out what's the root cause of your problem.
