I haven’t felt this down about my health in so long. I was really hoping I’d get more from the neuro rehab team than “idk ask the wheelchair people… by the way it’ll likely be months before you even see them to talk about it”.
And I’m trying not to catastrophise but there’s no guarantee that the wheelchair team will do anything about it either. I’m pretty sure my pelvis and the rest of my spine are in the right place, it’s literally just my head that’s too heavy, and only in certain situations. And if a collar is too restrictive then wouldn’t an anterior head support have the same risks?
I have to believe that something will change and I won’t be in this much pain forever. But I’m gutted that there are so few options for orthotics beyond a full cervical collar. If I’m honest I’d expected that there would be something that didn’t immobilise my neck completely but still prevented my chin from smashing into my chest. My physio said she’d ask her colleagues but I’m not holding out much hope. I at least thought I’d get strengthening exercises but there’s nothing. Surely this isn’t an uncommon problem?
I know I’m tough as boots and I’ll get through these next however many months. But fuck me am I dreading it

Smoothing the straps of the harness across your hips you gnawed on your lower lip slightly as you eyed your reflection in the mirror, strap-on firmly secured against your pelvis. A complex of emotions unfurled in your chest – arousal, pride, self-confidence…and just a smidge of doubt.
While tonight would not be your first time pegging Jake, one weak showing by no means made you an expert. The very notion had never crossed your mind until one morning several weeks ago when, on his way out the door, Jake had kissed the top of your head and wished you good luck on your interview scheduled for that afternoon.
“You get that promotion, pretty girl, and I’ll let you peg me.” He had winked and strolled out of the kitchen as nonchalantly as if he had promised you ice cream.
It had taken nearly five days to remove the stain from your dress shirt as the next sip of your morning beverage had missed your mouth entirely. But you had gotten the promotion, and after a proper discussion between the three of you, you had been intrigued and more than a little turned on by the idea. The physical actuality of it, however, had proven to be exhausting and not nearly as innate as you expected.
Thrusting the strap-on in and out of Jake’s body had called upon muscles that you found were under-utilized and you struggled to maintain a pleasurable rhythm. With perseverance and outright stubborn refusal to acknowledge the pain in your back, thighs, and abdomen, you had succeeded in driving Jake to orgasm. While you had been richly rewarded for your efforts, you had also awoken to a plethora of stiff and sore muscles the next day.
Rooster had caught you cuddling the heating pad while doing research into pegging techniques and exercises to strengthen the muscles necessary to properly thrust. He had taken it upon himself to design a workout routine for you, complete with a suggestive and rhythmic playlist featuring classics like Pump Up The Jam, Push It, and Bust a Move. Despite your diligent adherence to the regimen, Bradley’s suggestion that you give it another try tonight, and Jake’s enthusiastic agreement, had still awoken a tinge of self-doubt.
“Did you get lost, pretty girl?” Bradley’s rasp from the doorway tugged you back into the present and your eyes lifted to meet his gaze in the reflection of the mirror.
You swallowed thickly at the image of him, wearing nothing but his boxers and a soft smirk as he leaned against the doorframe of your dressing room. Turning to face him properly, you shook your head in reply, unconsciously wetting your lips with your tongue.
He hummed thoughtfully and stepped forward to cup your jaw.
“You sure you’re good?” He asked softly, playful tone replaced with gentle earnestness.
Nodding quickly, you took a moment to tighten the already snug harness before exhaling.
“I just want this time to go better…”
“If I remember correctly the only problem last time was someone put too many expectations on herself, hmmm?” He murmured, fingers sliding along your chin to caress your earlobe.
You huffed impatiently. “Who knew thrusting was so taxing…” you muttered bitterly.
“You’ve been doing your exercises?” He asked and you nodded again as his touch ghosted down the skin of your neck to trace the embellished strap of your bra. “And you promise to tell us if you start getting sore?”
Your lips pressed together into a thin line, the very idea of tapping out before Jake could finish off-putting, but Bradley’s dark eyes pierced yours, eyebrows raised insisting you respond.
“Fine. I will tell you.” You conceded, not able to deny that gaze anything.
“Good girl.” He purred and bent his head to kiss you deeply, broad palms coming to cup the bare cheeks of your ass, massaging the straps of the harness into your flesh. The tip of the toy nudged against his hip, his lips twitching into a smirk against yours. “Gotta say, it really suits you, pretty girl.”
You grinned, nipping at his lower lip playfully before threading your fingers through his.
“Shall we?”
“He’s very ready for you.” He chuckled in reply and led you back across the hall into the primary bedroom where Jake waited naked and glistening in a sheen of sweat on your shared bed.
“Fuck I was about to send a search party…” Jake huffed, propped against the headboard, eyeing you hungrily.
“Mmm my apologies Hungman…” You pouted playfully, crawling up along his right leg, letting the silicone of the strap-on brush against his skin teasingly as you made your way to his lips. “Took a bit to get the harness on.”
He gripped your hips and pulled you closer, lips seeking yours hungrily as he rocked his length up against the stiff strap-on with an eager shudder. Resting a hand on his chest, you gently grazed your nails through the dusting of chest hair to his abdominals and lower still, raking through his neatly kept pubic hair. The rasp of Rooster’s mustache against your shoulder startled a mewl from your lips, leaving your mouth vulnerable to attack from Jake’s delving tongue.
Hoping to stoke the coals of his desire, banked by your delay in the dressing room, back into a burning flame, your fingertips traced the defined lines of his hips, of adonis belt, so close to where he wanted you but not actually touching his needy cock.
The fingers of your free hand rooted themselves into Jake’s golden strands as you felt Rooster work the cool, slippery lube along the length of your strap-on before his fingers slipped between Jake’s thighs to tease at his entrance.
His mouth fell back from yours with an aggravated moan. “I’m not going to get any more stretched Rooster, please…I need pretty girl to fuck me already…” His chest heaved, his desperation tugging at your heart.
“You need me, Jake?” You murmured, lips brushing against his ear, smiling fondly as he nodded vigorously. “Come to the end of the bed then, ok?” You pulled back, guiding his hips to the edge of the mattress so you could plant your feet as Bradley slid a pillow beneath Jake’s hips solicitously.
“Just gonna wash my hands so I can touch you pretty girl, go ahead and work him onto your cock.” Rooster nipped the edge of your jaw making the breath shudder from your lungs as you felt the walls of your cunt clench around nothing at his words.
“Please…” Jake croaked beneath you, and you looked down at him warmly.
“I’ve got you…” You cooed, pressing the tip of the strap-on against the ring of muscle between his thighs, slowly easing the silicone into his body as you gently stroked his weeping length to help him relax into the pleasure of it.
The way his eyes rolled back in his head before his eyelids fell shut to dust his flushed cheeks with his fluttering eyelashes flooded your mouth with saliva and you could feel a wave of slickness between your thighs in response. It took all your willpower to maintain a slow pace, to give him time to adjust to the intrusion. As your hips nestled against his, toy full seated inside him, the prettiest whimper fell from his parted lips, and you took a steadying breath.
“That feel good, Jake?”
“S’good pretty girl, oh please fuck me…” He panted, eyelids opening halfway to show lust-blown pupils, the green of his irises almost entirely devoured.
Pulling your hips back halfway, you rocked forward once more to push the strap-on back into his body, pleased to feel less protest in your muscles than the first time your tried this. Jake’s groan was more than enough motivation to continue, to lengthen your thrusts, and speed up the rhythm. Your hands gripped his thighs for balance as Rooster’s return from the ensuite, naked and fisting his cock at the scene before him, caught your eye.
“Fuck you two are a sight to behold.” He groaned, voice rough as a gravel road, coming to stand beside you as he drank it all in.
His unoccupied hand came to rest on your lower back as you continued to thrust the strap-on into Jake, wringing the prettiest noises from his parted lips, before his fingers trailed over your ass to slip between your thighs.
“Fuck your soaked, pretty girl.” He growled, tracing your slit, causing your hips to stutter and lose their rhythm.
“Dammit…” You whined and shot him a look of half-hearted annoyance as his fingers parted your folds to circle your entrance.
“Couldn’t help myself…” He murmured, pressing a series of apologetic kisses along your neck as you tried to pick up where you left off, but it just didn’t feel quite right – for one Jake was not nearly as loud, and the harness was not grinding against your clit as well as it had been.
You huffed in frustration, causing Bradley’s fingers to still between your legs. “You good, pretty girl?” His tone was pointed, leaving no space for untruths if you were in pain.
“I’m feeling great, just can’t find the right pace again…”
He hummed thoughtfully, withdrawing his fingers from your folds, making you whine in protest, before moving to stand behind you. Both his hands came to rest on your hips before he leaned into press his lips to your ear.
“Ah..” He sucked the air between his teeth. “push it.”
Your eyes widened and laughter bubbled up from your chest before you fully processed what was happening. You felt his lips twitch into a smirk against your skin, his mustache tickling the ridge of your ear as his hands began to guide your hips to what you slowly recognized as the beat of the song.
“Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby….better make it fast or else I’m gonna get pissed…Can’t you hear the music pumping hard? Like I wish you would….Now push it…”
While Rooster was perhaps not suited to a career as a rap artist, you could not argue that this tactic was working. Memories of practising your barbel thrusts to the song flooded your mind and it began to play in your head. The rhythm was almost a muscle memory.
“Rooster, are you fucking rapping Salt-N-Pepa?” A bewildered Jake piped up from the bed below but forgot his own question when the tip of the strap-on grazed against his prostate, punching an anguished moan from his body.
You angled your hips to ensure each thrust struck home, licking your lips as you could feel the head of Bradley’s cock smearing pre-cum along your skin each time you pulled your hips back from Jake. Reaching behind you, you wrapped your hand around the base of his length, guiding him into your cunt, drawing a satisfied sigh from both of you. His fingers curled tighter into the flesh of your hips as you continued the thrust forward and back, into Jake and onto Bradley, teeth ravaging your lower lip as you clung to Jake’s thighs in front of you.
“Look at you working those hips, pretty girl…” Bradley rasped, groan choked off against your shoulder as your muscles clenched around him in response to his praise. “Doing so good…”
“Fuck your cock feels so good…” Jake rambled from below, biceps bunched as he gripped the sheets viciously. “Gonna cum…”
His warning, however, was utterly drowned out by Bradley’s wail as your cunt clamped down on him like a vice, your legs starting to shake.
“Shit pretty girl, you’re squeezing so fucking tight…” He yelped, thrusting deeper into your warmth, driving you tighter against Jake as you hinged forward at the waist.
“Ahn!” You whimpered nonsensically in response as Bradley began to thrust in earnest, leaving you to do your best to match his pace in and out of Jake.
Thankfully the latter made good on his promise, orgasm washing over him with a ragged howl as thick ropes of cum painted both of your chests. Taking advantage of the pull of Bradley’s hips, you managed to remove the strap-on from Jake’s body to avoid overstimulating him, grateful as his hands rose to brace against your ribcage, providing you with more stability.
“Oh fuck…” You whined, stance widening to allow Bradley better access as he drove his cock into your greedy cunt mercilessly. “Please…Bradley….” You keened, back arching sharply as Jake’s hands traversed across your chest to pull down the cups of your bra, tugging at the stiff peaks of your nipples. “Shit, Jake!”
“Cum for Rooster, pretty girl…wring every last drop out of him…” Jake drawled lazily, fingers slick with his cum against your sensitive flesh.
You shuddered from head to toe, grip digging into Jake’s thighs as your climax erupted in your lower abdomen, flooding your entirely body with pleasure.
“Yes, oh yes good girl…” Bradley praised, hips pumping through your orgasm to both prolong your pleasure and chase his own release before pressing his face between your shoulder blades as you felt him cum inside you.
With shaking limbs, you climbed forward onto the bed as Bradley carefully loosened the straps of the harness, stripping it from your spent body and allowing it to drop to the ground with a muffled thud. He disappeared into the ensuite again as Jake gently removed your soiled bra, feathering tender kisses across your cheeks and down your neck. Working in tandem, Jake and Bradley used the warm washcloths procured to clean everyone up before you felt strong hands guiding your body through some torso twists and hip stretches.
Blinking your eyes into focus, you looked up at a softly grinning Bradley.
“Can’t have you seizing up on us again.” He murmured, hiking your knee up onto his shoulder to stretch out your right hamstring.
You sighed dreamily and stroked his thigh with silent affection, too tired to put your appreciation into words.
“I’m going to have to change these sheets again…” Jake’s voice pulled your attention to your left and you watch him pull the protective sheet off the regular sleep set only to find more mess beneath. You slid out of Bradley’s grasp carefully, grunting a little at the effort, but moved to help him strip the bed completely.
Working together, the three of you got it remade and once you were settled in for the night, Jake pondered aloud, “I wonder if a sex room wouldn’t just be more convenient…”

My back has been horribly stiff for almost a week now, and I KNOW its because I'm neglecting to exercise and all my back, core, glute muscles, etc are really weak. But you know how it goes - you never feel like you have time so you just don't do it.
But I SWEAR to God, I just laid down and did bridges for maybe 10 minutes, and my abs were so so so fucking weak. Actually the weakest they've ever been. But now? The stiffness is gone. Literally immediate relief. You wouldn't even think that's possible, since it's a matter of making your muscles stronger and that takes time, but I swear I immediately felt better.
If your back hurts right now, just get on the floor and do some bridges. Lay on your back with your legs bent, tilt your pelvis inward, squeeze your abs, and lift your butt. You dont even have to lift it all the way, it can just be a little bit. And do that a few times, you might want to squeeze your glutes too. Obviously there's other exercises you can do, but I mostly did bridges and I feel so much better. I always forget that doing basic shit like that will always fix the pain
(I ain't no gosh dang doctor so don't go doing anything if you've got some newly popped disks or some crap, I'm just saying if you're weak from sitting on your butt all day, strengthening your core will always help)

In the ever-evolving landscape of fitness and wellness, individuals are constantly seeking innovative and effective ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle. One such trend that has been gaining momentum in recent years is the resurgence of Reformer Pilates Studios. Rooted in the principles of Joseph Pilates, this form of exercise offers a holistic approach to physical fitness, combining strength, flexibility, and mindfulness.

The Essence of Reformer Pilates:
Reformer Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that employs a specialized apparatus called the Pilates Reformer. The Reformer consists of a sliding carriage attached to springs, ropes, and pulleys, providing resistance and assistance as individuals move through a series of controlled, precise movements. The emphasis is on building core strength, improving flexibility, and promoting overall body awareness.
Benefits of Reformer Pilates:
Core Strength: At the heart of Reformer Pilates is the development of core strength. The exercises engage the deep muscles of the abdomen, back, and pelvis, leading to improved posture and stability.
Improved Flexibility: The controlled movements performed on the Reformer help increase flexibility in a gradual and controlled manner. This is particularly beneficial for individuals looking to enhance their range of motion and prevent injuries.

Reformer Pilates studios offer a unique and personalized approach to fitness. Experienced instructors guide participants through a series of exercises tailored to individual needs and fitness levels. The small class sizes or one-on-one sessions allow for personalized attention, ensuring proper form and technique.
Tumblr media
The Studio Atmosphere:

Many studios organize social events, workshops, and challenges, further strengthening the sense of community and making the fitness journey an enjoyable and communal endeavor.
The Evolution of Reformer Pilates:
While the roots of Reformer Pilates trace back to the early 20th century, its resurgence in popularity can be attributed to its evolution to meet the demands of modern fitness enthusiasts. Contemporary Reformer Pilates incorporates elements of other fitness disciplines, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and functional movement patterns, making it a dynamic and engaging workout option.
The Mindful Movement Trend:
As the fitness landscape continues to evolve, there is a growing emphasis on mindful movement and holistic well-being. Reformer Pilates aligns perfectly with this trend, offering a workout that not only challenges the body but also promotes mental focus and stress relief.

Why Pelvic Health is Important
Pelvic health is a topic that often remains shrouded in silence and misconceptions. However, understanding the significance of pelvic health is crucial for everyone, regardless of age or gender. Today, we will delve into the reasons why pelvic health is important and how it can be supported through HEP (Home Exercise Programs) Physical Therapy and physical therapy management software.
Foundation of Core Strength
The pelvic region is at the core of our body's support system. It houses a complex network of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that provide stability to our spine, pelvis, and surrounding organs. Optimal pelvic health is essential for maintaining overall core strength, which is vital for balance, posture, and preventing injuries.
Urinary and Bowel Function
A healthy pelvis is closely linked to proper urinary and bowel function. Pelvic floor muscles play a key role in controlling these bodily functions. Conditions like urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence can be effectively managed and even prevented through pelvic floor therapy exercises, often included in HEP Physical Therapy programs.
Sexual Well-being
Pelvic health has a significant impact on sexual well-being. Both men and women rely on healthy pelvic function for sexual arousal, performance, and satisfaction. Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction can lead to sexual issues that may be addressed through pelvic health interventions.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Health
For women, pelvic health is especially crucial during pregnancy and postpartum stages. A strong and well-functioning pelvic floor is essential for carrying the baby during pregnancy and aiding in a smoother delivery. After childbirth, pelvic floor rehabilitation, often guided by physical therapy management software, can help restore muscle tone and alleviate postpartum issues.
Lower Back and Hip Pain
Pelvic health is closely linked to lower back and hip health. Dysfunction in the pelvic region can lead to chronic pain and discomfort in these areas. Physical therapy programs, including HEPs, can address these issues by focusing on strengthening and stabilizing the pelvic area.
Aging Gracefully
As we age, maintaining pelvic health becomes increasingly important. Age-related changes can weaken pelvic muscles and lead to various health issues. HEP Physical Therapy programs can help individuals of all ages preserve and improve their pelvic health, promoting a higher quality of life.
Prevention and Wellness
Understanding the importance of pelvic health is not just about addressing existing issues but also about preventing future problems. Incorporating pelvic floor exercises into your regular fitness routine, guided by physical therapy management software, can help maintain optimal pelvic health and prevent problems before they arise.
In conclusion, pelvic health is a vital aspect of overall well-being that often goes unnoticed until issues arise. By recognizing its importance and actively seeking solutions through approaches like HEP Physical Therapy, individuals can take control of their pelvic health and enjoy a healthier, more fulfilling life. Remember, a strong foundation in the pelvic region is the cornerstone of a healthy and active lifestyle.

Aside from this, there’s a plethora of other health benefits that you can enjoy when you start lacing your shoes and getting those steps in every day. Read along to know more!.
Strengthens bones and muscles
Because it’s a high impact exercise, running helps improve bone health and can increase bone density.

With strong bones and muscles, you are more protected from injuries plus your balance, coordination, and flexibility are also improved.
Reduces risk of chronic diseases
Various studies have already proven that regular physical activity like running can prevent and/or better manage chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol that lead to heart diseases as well as diabetes and many forms of cancer. Together with the right diet and healthy lifestyle choices, running can improve the quality of your life so you can be at your best every day, not just for yourself but for your family as well.
Enhances mental well-being
Do you ever notice how your mood always seems to be much better after a good workout? It’s the endorphins and serotonin working their magic! Aside from improved mood, running also works like meditation in the sense that it can give you peace of mind and allow you to stay in the present, helping you manage and relieve the stresses of daily life. So the next time you feel overwhelmed or anxious, consider going for a run for an instant pick-me-up.
Interestingly, adopting running in your day-to-day routine enables you to improve other aspects of your health and wellness, including what you eat, how many hours you sleep at night, setting goals, and taking control of your time.

Strengthens bones and muscles
Because it’s a high impact exercise, running helps improve bone health and can increase bone density. The stress applied to your legs, pelvis, and spine whenever you run allows the bones to repair and strengthen themselves. Similarly, running also helps build muscles in the lower body, particularly the glutes, thighs, and calves.
With strong bones and muscles, you are more protected from injuries plus your balance, coordination, and flexibility are also improved.

Reduces risk of chronic diseases
Various studies have already proven that regular physical activity like running can prevent and/or better manage chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol that lead to heart diseases as well as diabetes and many forms of cancer. Together with the right diet and healthy lifestyle choices, running can improve the quality of your life so you can be at your best every day, not just for yourself but for your family as well.
Enhances mental well-being
Do you ever notice how your mood always seems to be much better after a good workout? It’s the endorphins and serotonin working their magic! Aside from improved mood, running also works like meditation in the sense that it can give you peace of mind and allow you to stay in the present, helping you manage and relieve the stresses of daily life. So the next time you feel overwhelmed or anxious, consider going for a run for an instant pick-me-up.

Seconding adding back strengthening exercises to your workout routine. Part of back pain, especially the weird sort of back pain that flares up while you’re asleep and aren’t even doing anything, is because when your back muscles are weak, they tense up constantly to try to protect your spine from injury. If you stretch & strengthen those muscles, they don’t have to work as hard to protect you, so they loosen up.
If you don’t feel like you can handle bridges, it’s better to start small. Here are some easy, gentle exercises my physio had me do at home:
Upper back strength exercises, good for pain between the shoulderblades and near the neck. I especially recommend face pulls if you can get your hands on a cheap resistance band you can stick in a doorframe at home.
Lower back strength exercises, good for pain at the base of the back, just above where your spine meets your pelvis. I highly recommend bridge lifts and bridge marches with or without a medicine ball. Cobra position is also a great way to stretch your lower back to help loosen those muscles up.
You only really need to do these 2-3 times a week to start seeing results. It might take a bit, but once it starts working, you’ll know.
I also recommend strengthening your knees along with your lower back, as that’s the other major pain point for heavy lifting. Like your back, your knee muscles get super tight when they’re weak.
Start off with a simple wall sit. You don’t need to bend your knees all the way—just enough that you can feel the muscles working and tiring themselves out, but not so much that you feel sharp pain.
When you feel more comfortable, you can start doing free squats. Again, if you feel sharp pain, stop and readjust your legs to a more comfortable position.
If you’ve got chronic knee pain but no arthritis, I recommend getting some patellar tendon straps for extra support while walking/lifting. I also recommend seeing a podiatrist to check if you’ve got flat feet & get arch support insoles for your shoes. Unsupported foot arches can make your gait wobbly and cause your knee tendons to twist and get injured as you walk.
you motherfuckers better be lifting with your legs and not your back

What Are the Options for Endometriosis Operation in Dubai?
Tumblr media
Endometriosis is a condition that occurs when cells from the lining of the womb grow in other areas of the body. It often takes a long time before it is diagnosed. It is generally held that about 10% of all women during their reproductive periods are affected by this condition. For those seeking specialized care, consider exploring options for Endometriosis Operation in Dubai.
Endometriosis often leads to the formation of scar tissue and adhesions, which can alter a woman’s internal anatomy. In severe cases, this may result in a condition called "frozen pelvis," where internal organs become fused together. The most effective treatment for endometriosis is surgery, typically performed by a skilled laparoscopic endometriosis surgeon.
Dr. Neha Lalla, a renowned expert in Dubai, provides personalized care to help women find relief and improve their quality of life.
Stages of Endometriosis Operation
Diagnostic Stage (Laparoscopy): A minimally invasive procedure used to confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of the condition.
Removal or Ablation Stage: Surgical removal or destruction of endometrial tissue using advanced laparoscopic tools.
Complex Surgery (Laparotomy): For severe cases, involving larger incisions to remove widespread endometriosis.
Definitive Surgery (Hysterectomy): Removal of the uterus in severe, recurrent cases when fertility preservation is not a concern.
Precautions Suggested by Dr. Neha Lalla for Endometriosis Operation
Dr. Neha Lalla, a leading expert in endometriosis treatment in Dubai, emphasizes the importance of careful preparation and post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal outcomes. Here are the key precautions she recommends:
Before the Surgery
Thorough Diagnostic Evaluation:
Undergo a pelvic exam, ultrasounds, or MRI scans to assess the extent of endometriosis.
Ensure blood tests and medical history reviews are completed for tailored surgical planning.
Lifestyle Adjustments:
Maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients to strengthen your immune system.
Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they may interfere with healing and anesthesia efficacy.
Medication Review:
Discuss any medications or supplements you’re taking with your doctor to avoid complications during surgery.
After the Surgery
Pain Management:
Take prescribed painkillers as directed to manage post-operative discomfort.
Use heating pads for minor abdominal cramps.
Wound Care:
Keep surgical incisions clean and dry to prevent infections.
Avoid submerging the wound in water until fully healed.
Physical Activity:
Refrain from heavy lifting or strenuous exercises for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Gentle movements, like walking, are encouraged to improve circulation and prevent blood clots.
Follow-Up Appointments:
Attend all follow-ups for monitoring and to address any emerging issues promptly.
Fertility Planning:
If fertility is a concern, discuss your options with Dr. Lalla before and after the operation to plan for family goals.
