Private Talk with Dr. Lea

Most of us, especially in the Middle East, grew up hearing: “3ayb”, “Ma t2ele la hada”, “Ya 3ayb el shoum”. So we stayed quiet about pee, poop, sex, birth and pain.

But 1 in 4 people, in every family, behind closed doors, suffers in silence because it’s considered 3ayb. This podcast makes those private conversations not so private anymore. Each episode is an honest talk about the pelvic floor: pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, painful sex, and children’s potty and bladder health, plus real stories from my clients.

I’m your host, Dr. Lea, a Lebanese pelvic floor therapist for children, women and men. You are not alone, and help is available.

Why Arabic?

The episodes are in Arabic, Lebanese dialect. The podcast was made for our community in the Middle East, where these topics are still 3ayb, so the people who need this most can hear it in their own language and share it with family and friends.

حديث خاص مع د. ليا

كلنا كبرنا ونحنا عم نسمع: «عيب»، «ما تقولي لحدا»، «يا عيب الشوم». وهيك صرنا نسكت عن البول، البراز، الجنس، الولادة والوجع.

بس واحد من كل أربعة أشخاص، بكل عيلة ووراء الأبواب المسكّرة، عم يعاني بصمت لأنو الموضوع «عيب». بهالبودكاست منحكي بصراحة عن صحة الحوض: الحمل، الولادة، ما بعد الولادة، الإجهاض، الوجع وقت العلاقة، وصحة الأطفال بالحمّام، ومنسمع قصص حقيقية من مريضاتي.

الحلقات بالعربي لأنو هالبودكاست معمول لمجتمعنا، ولازم توصل المعلومة لكل حدا بلغتو. ما في شي عيب، وإنتِ مش وحدك، والمساعدة موجودة.
