Pelvic health

Pelvic health problems during and after pregnancy are common. These include bladder and bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and problems from perineal trauma.

Our Perinatal Pelvic Health Service (PPHS) team are made up of specialist pelvic health physiotherapists, midwives, nurses and a consultant obstetrician. The team work collaboratively to provide a service to people experiencing pelvic health complications following childbirth. They also offer education in pregnancy and beyond about perineal care, pelvic floor exercises and bladder and bowel care.

If you think you need a referral to the PPHS team, contact your Midwife, GP or email thh.perinatalpelvichealthservice@nhs.net.
