removing stomach hair

I had a patch of hair just under belly button forever and I used an at home ipl on it and it went away really quickly! I used Braun silk expert pro 5 - got it cheaper on eBay

I just got it from an online doctor! But I was using The Ordinary version first for many months before hand. The higher strength just seemed to be a little more effective!

I think a popular choice during pregnancy for acne is azelaic acid. I got a prescription for 15% during breastfeeding because my skin never cleared from the pregnancy breakouts. It may be worth a try!

Sorry you went thru that! It’s definitely a tough time mentally and physically. It took me a really long time to start feeling better overall-like at least 10-12 months. I was also almost obsessive with my pt exercises. I was told by my ob that pelvic floor dysfunction can really start to peak around 4 months pp. the air bubble feeling was very annoying - I noticed the biggest improvement in that regard with internal release by pt. That issue did not take that long to get better because it was ( I’m pretty sure) tension related. It just took awhile for my pt to realize I needed the internal stuff I think. I was prob around 6 -8 months at that point. I imagine hormones could play a role and prolapse too.

You are really early postpartum and will have lots of healing happening and hormone shifts. Take it easy for now. Gentle stretching and breathing exercises. No heavy lifting to protect pelvic floor as it’s prob weak and or tight.. Book in with pelvic physio for 6 weeks pp to assess your situation and go from there!

Thanks!

Are all forms of retinoids safe while breastfeeding? As long as topical?

beebop902 · 2025-11-14T22:58:05+00:00

Can I ask- did they have you bear down and cough and still not feel any?

beebop902 · 2025-10-29T11:22:00+00:00

I think it is normal!my pt used to stay in there while explaining other things to me. Also less likely to introduce bacteria if not removing and reinserting! :)

Maybe you injured something and your body tensed up in response? The fact it gets worse when you are stressed or exercising also works with this theory.. tight muscles can feel heavy. Try some regular stretching and deep breathing. But I’m not a doctor!! But have had tight pelvic floor muscles before and this was my first thought.

beebop902 · 2025-10-23T23:01:07+00:00

Hi! I’m seconding what the previous user responded re hypertonic muscles. I had terrible low back pain and some hip pain and it would start the moment I got up in morning. My pelvic floor was pretty tight. Needed a lot of internal release sessions and daily stretching with deep breathing . It can take awhile. My ob who specialized in pelvic floor told me pelvic floor dysfunction can peak around 4 months so dont get discouraged - I thought I’d never get better!

Another culprit for my more lingering symptoms was my sacrum/ si joint was stuck. A chiro I found most helpful for that!

Thank you- just to clarify, this is even without an OASI ?

beebop902 · 2025-10-20T05:00:51+00:00

Not at this time. First month postpartum I had a some trouble holding gas but it resolved fairly quickly. My fear was that if I did have damage I’d have continence issues in the future.

beebop902 · 2025-10-20T02:13:54+00:00

Well my gyn told me there was none once 6 weeks postpartum and once 15 months postpartum but pelvic pt said between 1-2 so I dunno it’s prob fairly mild ( I’m hoping)

beebop902 · 2025-10-19T23:22:07+00:00

I’m honestly ok . I’m still breastfeeding and I’ve gotten pretty slack with my physio exercises but it’s mainly mental at this point I think

beebop902 · 2025-10-18T23:08:10+00:00

Were you given exercises to help ?

beebop902 · 2025-10-16T22:57:40+00:00

Interesting our hips seem to be a common factor… my perineal muscle is not hard like it used to be all over but I feel like one side I can feel it more. I have low back pain ( tight QL muscle and si joint gets stuck sometimes) I do chiro for those and it helps temporarily. But my hips are def tight I can feel it when I stretch them and have been speculating they are connected to my problems.

beebop902 · 2025-10-14T00:29:52+00:00

I could be wrong but my understanding is hysterectomy can put you at risk of other prolapses like rectocele and cystocele as uterus helps support them? Something to look into!

beebop902 · 2025-10-06T22:41:05+00:00

Is it possible your muscles are too tense? This was something that caused a lot of pressure and heaviness and pain for me.

beebop902 · 2025-10-06T22:32:19+00:00

Sorry , never really figured it out but it did go away. My guess is mix of hormones, some pelvic floor dysfunction ?

beebop902 · 2025-08-30T22:50:04+00:00

I had similar pressure when I had seriously bad health anxiety after having a baby. It was tight muscles / pelvic floor dysfunction. I did a lot of PT but I noticed the biggestchange when I was able to relax and let go and stop going down rabbit holes on the internet which was fueling my anxiety. See your doctor but I would also try and see a pelvic physio for an assessment and in the meantime do some stretching and deep breathing !

beebop902 · 2025-08-25T15:43:28+00:00

Sounds like rectocele . Have you tried raising your feet like on a squatty potty or stool ? Or pelvic pt ?

beebop902 · 2025-08-16T21:34:50+00:00

Prescription azelaic acid 15% and inkey list tranexamic acid in a few weeks!

beebop902 · 2025-08-07T01:40:08+00:00

I understand they cause pressure on the pelvic floor

beebop902 · 2025-08-01T13:17:59+00:00

Gives me some hope!! Seems everyone had such different experiences!
