Q:

Why is it important to do pelvic floor or 'Kegal' exercises during pregnancy?

A:

The pelvic floor is very important as it supports your pelvic organs. 

Prenatally, women get increased urine volumes, decreased smooth muscle tone of the bladder and also get pressure on the pelvic floor from the baby and from the extra weight that they are carrying.

Q:

How do I know if I have erectile dysfunction or low testosterone?

A:

Since both issues involve erectile function, it is difficult to know by yourself which one you might have. With low testosterone, you may have other symptoms including low sex drive, low energy and fatigue. To figure out which treatment you need, your doctor can take a history of your symptoms and do some blood tests to measure your testosterone levels.

What is the treatment for chronic constipation?

A:

There are over-the-counter medications, as well as some prescription drugs, which are used to treat chronic constipation. Your doctor can advise you on which product is best for you.
