Pelvicon Recap: 5 Things Every Woman Should Know
Dr. Leanna just returned Pelvicon 2026, an annual conference bringing together leading voices in pelvic health, sexual medicine, rehabilitation, and women’s health. It was an incredible opportunity to learn from clinicians, researchers, and true disruptors who are pushing the field forward, asking hard questions, and advocating for better care.
Continuing education is a huge part of what we value at Core Connections. We’re committed to staying current with evolving research and bringing the best, most evidence-informed care back to our patients. Here are our Top 5 Things Every Woman Should Know that we're sharing from Pelvicon!
Vaginal estrogen could save your life (or your mother / grandmother / friend). It is critical health care, particularly for those in perimenopause and menopause. And it's not just for your pelvic floor - using vaginal estrogen is associated with decreased rates of sepsis, hospital admissions, and death.
For roughly 50% of women, pelvic floor issues are a barrier to exercise. We know that movement is medicine, and if exercise were a drug, it would be the most prescribed medication. It is a huge problem if half of women can't access exercise. At Core Connections, we provide whole-person and root-cause care to finally resolve pelvic floor issues, particularly so they don't get in the way of you staying active and healthy!
84% of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable. Our healthcare system needs to do a better job caring for pregnancy and postpartum women. At Core Connections, we see women through all stages of pre-conception and fertility, to pregnancy and postpartum, making sure our moms and. expecting moms receive comprehensive care and have access to the right resources.
About 50% of women ejaculate, and some of those women squirt large volumes. If you ejaculate or not, it's normal! There are a range of normal and valid sexual responses women experience.
We should all be checking the clitoral hood. It could provide important information about sexual function, and changes in the tissue may be a clue that more health questions - like hormone changes, issues with the vaginal biome or pH, etc -
deserve attention.
