The legendary wife, Brittany Mahomes, recently offered advice to mothers, emphasizing the importance of caring for their pelvic floors. Her advocacy raised awareness of a condition that is more prevalent than many young women realize.
When Brittany Mahomes recently advised moms to take care of their pelvic floors, she raised awareness of a condition that is more common than many young women realize.“Women don’t get educated about this, especially when they are younger, when they are of childbearing age,” said Dr. Deepanjana Das, a urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery specialist at the Cleveland Clinic.
Earlier this week, Mahomes, who has two young children with her husband, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, gave a reminder to women on her Instagram story: “Once you have kids take care of your pelvic floor. Seriously,” signing it “from a girl with a fractured back.”NBC News has reached out to representatives for Mahomes for comment. Meanwhile, doctors say back and pelvic floor problems can be connected.
“Women can be at risk of both due to low-back issues and factors such as pregnancy and childbirth,” said Dr. Roger Dmochowski, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology, urology and surgery, and associate surgeon in chief at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
The gynecologic organs, the bladder and the rectum are all held in place by a group of muscles and ligaments known as the pelvic floor, Dmochowski explained. When these tissues are stretched and weakened, urinary and fecal incontinence can result. More severe issues with those muscles can lead to organ prolapse, during which one or more of the pelvic organs can drop down into the vaginal canal and even protrude through the vagina.
Other risk factors include repeated lifting of heavy weights and standing for many hours.
“Gravity is not your best friend,” Dmochowski saiOverall, nearly a quarter of women in the U.S. develop pelvic floor issues, according to the National Institutes of Health. Younger women ages 20 to 39 are less likely to experience symptoms — less than 10%. About a quarter of women in their 40s and 50s have symptoms, although that percentage increases with age. More than a third of women ages 60 to 79, and half of those 80 or older, have pelvic floor problems.
What are symptoms of pelvic floor injury?Early signs of pelvic floor weakening can start with urinary symptoms.“A sudden loss of urine that can be activity-related or an overactive bladder can be signs that the pelvic floor is acting up,” Dmochowski said. “Other women might develop new bowel symptoms, such as loss of control or new constipation.”
As the problem progresses, women might feel pressure as “either the rectum, the bladder or the uterus, or all three, bulge into the vagina,” Dmochowski said. “Women will sometimes describe this as feeling like a beach ball coming out of their vagina.”Some women don’t notice any symptoms and the prolapse is discovered during their annual exam, Dmochowski said. Sometimes, women might not notice they are experiencing back problems until they come in with pelvic floor symptoms, he said.
How is pelvic floor injury treated?
Kegel exercises, when women tighten and relax the pelvic floor muscles, can help, especially among younger women.“You can do this at a stoplight when driving,” Dmochowski said. “Imagine you’re urinating and then try to stop. You contract for a few seconds, and then relax for a few seconds. You want to repeatedly activate the muscles.
Pelvic floor exercises are like lifting weights.“By flexing and then relaxing them, you build volume and hopefully regain function,” Dmochowski said.Dmochowski tells patients that once or twice a week isn’t enough.“I draw the analogy to training for a road race or a marathon,” he explained. “There has to be some stick-to-itiveness.”
How well do Kegels work?
“The response rates are all over the place in the literature,” Dmochowski said, adding that the number might be as low as 20% recovery.Another option is guided physical therapy to rehab the pelvic floor muscles, said Das,,It’s been established that monitored physical therapy can help rehab those muscles after delivery,” she said. “We know it can play a huge role in helping women recover.”,Das recommends women get physical therapy soon after vaginal childbirth.
“In other countries, it’s a regular part of delivery to get physical therapy,” she said. “That’s not something we have in the U.S.,” except in cases where there was a difficult delivery.Among the other options for women with pelvic floor issues is a pessary, a vaginal insert that works “like an internal crutch that holds everything in place,
Dmochowski said. “It’s something a woman is fitted for and then she determines whether she likes it or not. About 1 in 4 women in our practice uses them.”Another option is surgery in which the pelvic floor is put back in place and is anchored there by attaching it to a knob of spinal bone, Dmochowski said.

Elvira, 73, exposes Ariana Grande, 31, and says she was her worst and rudest Celeb encounter for what she did to her and Ari was quick to clap back but fans negatively react “Anxiety is not an excuse!”
During a recent conversation with her fans, Cassandra Peterson — better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark — revealed she had a bad interaction with a celebrity whose name “rhymes with Pariana Mande.” She then doubled down, reposting an article about her remarks on Instagram and hash-tagging Ariana Grande’s name.
It was this post that caught Ariana Grande’s eye. “I’m so disheartened to see this,” the Wicked star commented on Elvira’s post. “I actually don’t even remember getting the chance to meet you because I had an anxiety attack and to my memory, left before the rest of my family.”
In parentheses, Grande explained that she went to Elvira’s show “around 7 years ago,” when she was “really not great with being in public crowds or loud places.” She went on to apologize, and to praise Elvira. “If I’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologize for offending you so,” she wrote. “Thank you for being so nice to my mom, she told me how lovely you were (she might have different feelings about that now but I’ll talk to her… clearly, we all have our days!)”
What Happened Between Ariana & Elvira?
Elvira told fans about her encounter with Grande during a Q&A at Knott’s Berry Farm in California, claiming that the pop star requested 20 tickets to her show for her family and friends, but refused to take a picture with her in return.
“We gave her the tickets and she comes backstage and she asks if I can take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought,” she recalled, as seen in a viral video. “I take a picture with every single one of them, I sign autographs for every single one of them. Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ And she goes, ‘No, I don’t really do that.’”
Elvira also remembered that Grande left before the show began, which aligns with Grande’s memory of the night. “All her relatives stayed, and she took off,” Elvira said.
Here’s Ariana’s response:
After a round of boos from the Q&A audience, someone on stage with Elvira quipped, “she’s playing the wrong witch,” nodding to Grande’s role in Wicked as Glinda the Good Witch.
There seem to be no hard feelings on Grande’s side, as she ended her comment by writing “sending love always” and declaring that Elvira will “always be our queen of halloween.” Elvira has yet to respond to Grande’s apology.

Keanu Reeves, 60, finally Confirmed Marriage to Winona Ryder, 52, after 30 years, reacting to the viral marriage rumors between him and Alexandra Grant “I want to clear all doubts and make things clear that…” See more
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves are still madly in (platonic) love with each other.
The former “Dracula” costars have known each other since the 1980s and, as they divulged during a 2018 press tour for “Destination Wedding,” their onscreen nuptials in the 1992 Bram Stoker adaptation might’ve been legally binding.
On the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast Monday, host Josh Horowitz asked Ryder how “the two biggest luddites on the planet” even keep in touch.
“I know,” said Ryder. “But we do text, and we always say who it is, even though it says it on the text … On his birthday, when I’m like, ‘Happy Birthday, my husband!’ and I put ‘Noni,’ he’s like, ‘Hey, wife! Love you, KR 57.’ On each birthday he’s like, ‘KR 57’ or whatever his age is.”
“He’s always done that,” she explained.
Ryder and Reeves were familiar with each other long before they were cast in “Dracula.”
“We met in the late ’80s, like ’87, ’88, at one of the early Independent Spirit Awards at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel,” she told People in 2018. “It wasn’t televised. Buck Henry was the emcee, and we gave out Best Supporting Actor.”
Ryder also explained to the outlet that she had initiated their “Destination Wedding” collaboration.
“I emailed him,” she said, adding: “I was so happy because he responded.”
During an Entertainment Weekly interview with Reeves in 2018, Ryder revealed that director Francis Ford Coppola had used “a real Romanian priest” for their “Dracula” wedding scene.
“We said yes?” Reeves asked Ryder, who confirmed as much. “Oh my gosh, we’re married,” he joked.
The Romanian nuptials presumably didn’t hold, however, as Reeves and Ryder have both pursued various other romantic interests over the years.
They’re each currently in relationships with other people: Reeves has been dating artist Alexandra Grant since 2019, and Ryder’s longtime partner is fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn. However, neither actor has ever tied the knot — except, of course, (potentially) with each other.
