Your first appointment
A Safe and Supportive Environment
Your first appointment will be held in a private setting to discuss your pelvic health problems in detail and also screen for any other pelvic floor related issues. We understand that this can be sensitive information that some people find difficult to discuss, but Jenny has an empathetic ear- and you are unlikely to say anything she hasn’t heard and helped manage before!
If appropriate you will be given options of a physical examination, which could include an internal examination for a pelvic floor problem. An internal vaginal or back passage assessment is available if appropriate.
