Thursday, November 19th - Women's Health Forum #4 - Managing Daily Life - Zoom
While clinical check-ups are essential, the “real” work of health often happens in the quiet moments of daily routine. Mastering the practicalities of life with a spinal cord injury is key to confidence and spontaneity.
In the final session of our Women’s Health After SCI series, we’re getting candid. We are moving beyond the doctor’s office to discuss the day-to-day management of personal care. This session is dedicated to sharing practical solutions, troubleshooting common hurdles, and discovering the products and techniques that make daily life smoother.
What We’ll Discuss:
- The Routine: Advanced Bowel & Bladder Management: Moving beyond the basics to discuss timing, troubleshooting accidents, and maintaining skin integrity during your routine.
- Menstrual Care & Hygiene: Exploring accessible products (from adaptive period underwear to cups/disposables) and managing autonomic dysreflexia or increased spasms during your cycle.
- Adaptive Dressing & Intimacy Prep: Practical tips for managing clothing changes and personal hygiene that help you feel prepared for whatever the day (or night) brings.
- The “Travel Toolkit”: How to manage these personal care needs while on the go, in public restrooms, or during travel.
Why This Session Matters:
These topics are often left out of standard medical brochures, yet they impact your quality of life every single day. This forum is a judgment-free zone where lived experience takes center stage, allowing you to learn from experts and peers alike.
Our Philosophy: Knowledge is autonomy. By mastering these daily logistics, you spend less time worrying about your injury and more time living your life.
