A Journey of Discovery
While women's health concerns have historically been overlooked, a growing number of women are seeking knowledge about their bodies to empower themselves to gain control of their own health. This understanding is what inspired Dr. Nicole Fleischmann to write The Second Mouth. Drawing from her 25 years of experience in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, Dr. Fleischmann challenges the conventional wisdom about pelvic floor health, offering a unique perspective that promises to revolutionize women's overall well-being.
​
In The Second Mouth, Dr. Fleischmann presents a groundbreaking approach to our understanding of the pelvic floor that transcends traditional methods like Kegel exercises. Rather than focusing on muscle clenching, she advocates for an alternative type movement which is holistic and intuitive. Her method emphasizes developing a new "language" to interpret and respond to internal bodily sensations, particularly through mindful breathing and subtle muscle control. By teaching patients to "sniff" in their breath rather than unconsciously breathe, and to listen closely to their body's signals, she's helping women avoid unnecessary surgeries and manage pelvic floor dysfunction more effectively.
​
Dr. Fleischmann's insights stem from treating hundreds of women of all ages with various pelvic floor issues, including pelvic pain during sex, incontinence, prolapse, and cystitis. Her approach represents a paradigm shift towards body awareness and intentional breathing, moving away from mechanical exercises and invasive surgeries. By highlighting the importance of understanding and working with our body's natural processes, Dr. Fleischmann's revolutionary method teaches women to "call to" their body, fostering a deeper connection between mind and physical sensations. This innovative approach ultimately leads to improved pelvic health and enhanced overall well-being, making Dr. Fleischmann a sought-after expert for both readers and audiences seeking transformative knowledge in women's health.
Challenging Conventional Wisdom
​Dr. Fleischmann's work challenges many long-held beliefs in the medical community. She questions the effectiveness of Kegel exercises, proposes new methods for treating incontinence, and emphasizes the crucial role of proper breathing in pelvic health. Her approach is holistic, considering not just the physical symptoms but also the mental and emotional aspects of women's health.
Beyond the Clinic
When she's not revolutionizing women's health, Dr. Fleischmann is a devoted mother and an avid supporter of women's empowerment initiatives. She believes that by understanding and caring for our bodies, we can unlock our full potential in all areas of life.
