I'm too Embarrassed to Talk About it

Dear WISY,

I'm writing with an embarrassing issue because I’m not comfortable talking about it with anyone close to me.  I would like to know if I’m alone in this nightmare or if other women experience the same issue.  I know it happens but it seems it hasn’t happened to anyone I know so I’m really embarrassed to talk about it.

I had children early in my life (my first was at 17 and my last was at 22) and I noticed with each child that, my husband who used to hurt me during intercourse, was no longer an issue.  I also began having urine leakage at the worst times.  I have since trained myself to be cautious with my laughter but I cannot control what happens when I sneeze or cough.  I have resorted to wearing depends pads at only 28. 

I don’t feel young or sexy anymore, I don’t want to go out and my husband is not happy with me, I can tell.  I don’t know what to do, I’ve done research and there really isn’t a cure for this.  Please help me manage this.  I hope someone who has experienced this will speak up and say what they have done to control it.  Please, no insults.

Signed,
Leaky
Dear Leaky,

Your condition is very common and the reason you probably hear so little about it is the same reason you haven’t felt comfortable speaking about it with anyone close – it’s embarrassing.  Your conditions are amongst a list of pregnancy side effects that women rarely speak on and it’s unfortunate that experiencing these conditions can bring about such judgment and stigma.  When we think of all that our bodies go through to bring life into this world, it’s a ludicrous thought that our bodies can remain as they were.  I wish women would be more responsible with their comments toward another woman who may have suffered more than they did. 

I’ve done a little research and the common thread in all the articles is kegels.  This exercise will help to strengthen your pelvic and uterine walls.  If you aren’t aware, kegel exercise is when you squeeze the muscles you use to stop urination and hold it for a few seconds then release for a few seconds.  Repeat this throughout your days until you are able to hold it for long periods of time without the muscle relaxing on its own.  The best thing is, you can do this exercise without anyone knowing – I’m doing it right now!  I’ll also place some products in this post which you can purchase to help.

I’ve also heard of vaginal rejuvenation which has several treatment options.  They range from laser treatment to plastic surgery and of course will have a recovery time and insurance coverage varies by severity and company regulations.  You’ll have to visit your doctor for proper medical diagnosis and recommended treatment.

I just want you to know that there is nothing to be ashamed of.  All mothers have experienced some sort of insecurity after childbirth.  If we spoke more honestly to each other about it, we could eliminate the silent suffering and people like yourself could regain your self esteem sooner.

Walk good,
#TeamWISY

  10. Cheating is probably one of the worst things you can do when you’re in a committed relationship. And sometimes when you wanna go back to only just being with your partner and no one else, it can be kind of hard. Your relationship isn’t the same after cheating. You may have a new mindset of what you’re wanting in a relationship or you may be feeling guilty over your cheating. Either way, the relationship is corrupted and you’re left alone figuring out what to do about a situation that is supposed to involve two people,my ex cheated and the guilt lived with him after i confronted him with enough proof of his cheating games with other women,all thanks to ''hackingloop6@ gm ail . c o m'' for their investigative and hacking service that helped me gain access to all my husband's phone activities remotely,though the saga was so painful,but i feel much better facing my fears. hackingloop is also reachable on WhatsApp + 1 484  540 - 0785.Cheating is cruel and it feels horrible.
