In this episode I sit down with Kiran Mann, a resident doctor in obstetrics and gynecology and member of the Be Pelvic Health Aware Campaign to discuss:

Definition and symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI)
Factors that may make someone more prone
Effects of menopause
Diagnosis
Are antibiotics overused?
Consequences of an untreated UTI
How the pelvic floor may be involved
Why intercourse can make some people more susceptible to UTIs
Douching, vaginal steaming, special soaps
The effectiveness of cranberries for UTI

Kiran Mann is a first year obstetrics and gynecology resident at McMaster University and completed her undergraduate and medical degrees at the University of British Columbia. She is a member of the Be Pelvic Health Aware team, led by Dr. Roxana Geoffrion, and is also a research assistant with the Centre for Pelvic Floor. She is passionate about patient education around reproductive health, including the pelvic floor and its related conditions. Kiran hopes that this podcast will be helpful for the listeners to learn about the diagnosis, symptoms, treatment, and prevention strategies for urinary tract infections.

More about the C-Section Program:
This initiative is sponsored by Health Canada as a part of the competitive Innovative Solutions Canada program, for which RxPx has been selected. The program is designed for mothers who are expecting a planned c-section, or who may have to undergo an unplanned c-section. The program includes evidence-based content to help mothers prepare for and recover from their c-section. Participants will also have the opportunity to connect with and support other mothers who are anticipating a c-section or educating themselves about a c-section in case it is something they will need.
How to join the app:
STEP 1: download the ‘Stronger Together’ App from Google Play or Apple App Store
STEP 2: use code C-SECTION when onboarding
STEP 3: attend weekly expert Q+A sessions in February
