How to Avoid Prolapse Surgery - 2 BEST Physio Treatments

[@michellephysio]

💝Prolapse diagnosis doesn't necessarily mean prolapse surgery. Hoping this prolapse treatment information helps you know your options for prolapse management. You can discuss these treatment options with your Pelvic Floor Physio or Gynecologist ⚕

Hey Michelle I wanted to tell you I’m a constipation patient whenever I do the pelvic floor exercise the next day I’m getting abdominal pain in my sides lower part .I wanted to ask if I’m doing it right or wrong ? What causes the pain after the exercise 😢

I had a very sudden grade 3 total pelvic and rectal prolapse. There was NO alternative but surgery. Pessarys are not suitable for every situation and they are difficult to keep clean. I'm post-op day 24 and incredibly glad to have had this surgery. This information is informative but only you and your surgeon can make this decision. I did kegals religiously for over 40 years and it did NOTHING to prevent this. I'm a board certified family nurse practitioner and I hope this gave women things to DISCUSS with their urogynecology specialist when they get their pelvic structures prolapse evaluated and not ignore the absolute necessity to get a proper examination.

[@michellephysio]

@meatdog yes indeed I agree wholeheartedly, for some women there is no alternative but prolapse surgery. This can be a lifechanging procedure and the decision can only be made by the woman and her surgeon. I should have stated this in this video. Unfortunately some women are not aware that there are alternatives to prolapse surgery that can be worth trying rather than going straight to surgery, particularly young women and women with mild-moderate prolapse. Wishing you all the very best for your recovery & thank you for sharing your personal insights for the benefit of all, cheers Michelle

This is interesting... I also suffered a sudden stage 3 uterine prolapse with stage 2 bladder, but my OnGyn said that they don't do surgery for anything less than Stage 4 if the woman is over 70 years old. (I was only 44 when i prolapsed). So mine is left completely untreated (i can't afford to see a physio). We tried a pessary once, but it was way too painful

Great explanation & information for those of us trying to avoid surgery. I understand there is a relatively high failure rate with surgical repairs....plus all those mesh lawsuits! I went to a pelvic floor PT...she was very helpful. I'm fitted with a removable pessary & do kegals....Been two years...doing well. Thank you for your helpful videos.

Had a partial hysterectomy many years ago to eradicate endo as well as adeno with minimal success. Wound up with a prolapsed bladder by 40 yrs old. Lived with it like that for almost ten yrs. Just yesterday had a sacrocolpopexy with mid-urethral sling and in the worst pain of my life! Wish I had found your video sooner! Thanks to woman like you for trying to help other woman going through this. But there needs to be more education about physio bc my Dr never once mentioned it!

[@rocketfish5153]

I just heard this physiotherapist say what my doctor in Canada said. With estrogen to the cervical walls and Kegels this approach can help with MILD bladder prolapse. Combined with the device is even better. This helps confirm for me that this is a good approach. Thx.

[@rosewelsh6687]

I was on hormone replacement. They stopped them. Estrogen was thickening cervix lining. Polyps started appearing.

Thank you for all of your wonderful videos. So helpful

[@wadawas]

I tried a pessary once with my ObGyn - it was way too painful & took it out immediately. I tried another generic one at home & again, discomfort was too much, plus i couldn't urinate. I also had to stop using my menstural cup (which i've been using since 1999) because it blocks my ability to urinate. (assuming with the stage 2 bladder prolapse, it's pressing against my ureter. Any suggestions?

Hey michelle, Gluets strengthen exercise videos upload, it is useful to me and many persons.

[@mom2blessings_sadie]

I love this video, im so glad u shared it . Keep helping women find ways to avoid surgery n share hoe to have sex tips with prolapse n more pessary videos all this is helpful . Im stage 2 n still having kids n in ontario not much help with dr. She didnt want to fit with pessary just gace me my size n said a ring would be best but i only have bladder n i thought the knob pessary was for bladder i only have mild rare incontinence from jumping laughing from time to time . ❤

[@michellephysio]

@mom2blessings_sadie thank you for sharing. Yes the knob pessary is for bladder prolapse and urinary incontinence. It may be helpful to work with your gynae or pelvic floor physio to trial different size and style support pessaries to help you complete your family and minimise prolapse symptoms. Sex and prolapse is a great video suggestion, thank you! 🙏

[@missylovestroy]

is a rectocele the same as a rectal prolapse ?

[@shannonmejia3626]

I just had surgery for a rectocele. From what I understand a rectocele is the rectum bulging out of the vagina. A rectal prolapse actually comes out of the rectum. But if you are considering surgery, think long and hard. I had a rough recovery. 😢

[@michellephysio]

@misslovestroy great question, these are different types of prolapse. A rectal prolapse involves rectal tissue protruding/coming out of the rectum. Rectocele involves the rectum moving into the back wall of the vagina, sometimes causing this back wall to protrude out of the vagina when severe/after bowel movements or with straining.

Does the physiotherapist, fit for pessaries or must you go to a GYN. Will a GP fit & rx a pesary?

[@CynthiaNaijacynth]

My mum has had hers removed but she still feels pain & uneasy. What would you subscribe for her please? Shes in her early 70s

[@michellephysio]

@CynthiaNaijacynth it may be helpful for your mum to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist for pain management, assessment of her prolapse risk factors and prolapse treatment. Pelvic pain can make prolapse symptoms worse which needs to be addressed as a priority. Thank you for sharing, this helps other women too!

[@rosewelsh6687]

I worked 20 years lifti g peple. I had a major accident in work. Pain in my nack went. Also I had to stop hormone replacement tablets. They were thickening the lining of my cervix. I had one polyp removed. was bleeding slightly. Thats when they saw the polyp. Recently I have had the syptoms of prolapsed bladder. I have not been tested yet. But got the symptoms. Its after lifting in my job. Im 57years old. Did a urine sample it was no good, due to contamination. Wondering if thats to do with the prolapse. Any feedback will be helpful. Im a bit worried.

[@strongsyedaa7378]

Can it be kept inside for months? I mean not taken out, inside for months Kindly 🙏🏼 answer 🙏🏼

[@gaeandgaryd5756]

I successfully used a pessary for 5 years but ultimately needed a reco last year. My question is how safe is reformer Pilates? Since my reco I’ve avoided abs exercises but do spin, aquarobics, cycling & walking. I would love to add some core strengthening exercises but too scared.

[@sakshigarg27]

Can prolapse or pessary lead to urine incontinence? I am facing urine incontinence issue which worsens on wearing pessary.

[@mom2blessings_sadie]

We have to learn how to empty bladder correctly try that first

[@cloerockham8812]

This is something that varies by individual. How your prolapse has occurred, how severe it is and what types of other issues are also occurring. Might be the type of pessary you’ve been given. You can try another type to see if that relieves your issues. Not everyone can avoid surgery though. If you can get a PT referral, definitely go through physiotherapy before choosing surgery.

[@michellephysio]

@sakshigarg27 yes some forms of pessary can increase bladder incontinence. There is a specific ring pessary with a knob on one side designed to reduce bladder leakage and prolapse symptoms. A bladder prolapse can actually disguise bladder leakage by creating a kink in the urine tube. Then when the pessary ring is inserted, the kink may be straightened out which allows bladder leakage. This is why some women use the knob ring pessary and it's a good idea to discuss this with your gynaecologist or pelvic floor physio. Hoping this info is helpful! All the best

[@michellephysio]

@@cloerockham8812 great info, thank you 🙏

[@sakshigarg27]

@@michellephysiodo you offer online consultation. Despite telling my problems my ural gynecologist never advised pessary with knob. Instead she was frustrated that I only crib about my issues and do not consider surgery. I would love to discuss with you.

[@susieredish1595]

Can this occur if you have had a total hysterectomy?😊

[@Finny931]

Yes.

[@michellephysio]

@susieredish1595 yes prolapse may occur after hysterectomy. The research has been conflicting with regards to the likelihood of prolapse after hysterectomy. It can be helpful to seek assessment and treatment from a pelvic floor physiotherapist to know your individual risks of prolapse and reduce them where possible after hysterectomy. I hope this helps 🙏
