Sex & Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Safety, Expectations, & Best Positions

[@PelvicEmpowerment]

After making a more comprehensive video all about pelvic organ prolapse recently, I remembered that I used to get a lot of questions in the clinic concerning penetrative vaginal sex and prolapse. ✩ Related Videos: → Comprehensive review all about pelvic organ prolapse: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omeviqFmi9NpkJY → Quick, easy 5 minute technique to relieve prolapse symptoms: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYbMkGqMprqAabs → Guided pelvic floor relaxation routine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIXGkpqFfL-mgqs → All about the pelvic floor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaDUdHdnqJKNesk → Low libido and psychology: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6DTnYGAl6aXsKc 🤸 Find a pelvic provider near you: pelvicrehab.com/ Common questions included: is it safe, will it make my prolapse worse, what will it feel like for me and my partner, and what positions are best? So, I wanted to make a video addressing those three topics-safety, what to expect, and best positions-in order to help women and people with vaginas who are navigating prolapse gain a better understanding of their bodies, what’s happening during sex with a prolapse, and what options they have to optimize and enjoy their future sexual experiences. I hope it’s helpful for you, and thank you so much for watching 🧡

[@hazelelmore7060]

I've had rectocele cystocele and intussuception since age 46 now 74. Also vulvodynia. No treatment given as op considered could make things worse. Means been single all my life. Now very difficult to empty bladder. Your video very useful. Mesh now being removed from women's bodies in UK.

I wish this conversation had been available as a matter of fact to every woman. I am an 85 year old widow so sex is no longer part of my activities but I will send the link to my 3 daughters. This is not a topic of conversation unfortunately. A few years ago I overcame my reluctance to sex toys or the like and bought a dildo, I discovered that an occasional use of the toy relieved the prolapse.

[@queenbloodymary7209]

Words can’t describe how thankful I am for your videos.

[@rebeccamukami3878]

Extremely useful. Your explanation regarding prolapse and the organs involved was easy to understand. You tackled superbly well the issue of sex while one prolapse. Thank You.

I WANT TO SAY THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME YOUR SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE GOD HAS GIVEN YOU TO PASS ON TO US. GOD BLESS❤😂

[@leventoz18]

Thank you for your interest and studies in this area It is very needed I want to point out that in your cartoon what represent a penis is the size of a pencil When I say size I mean the diameter If all penises were that size there wouldn’t be a problem A real penis stretches the vagina completely filling it so with a forward thrush it pushes things in and when pulled out with a vacuum effect it pulls thing out When women become menopausal opening of vagina narrows and it is not stretchy anymore so the vaginal walls bend inward with thrush causing trauma This effect also can rip the urethral connective tissue and cause urethral instability and pain Sex should be relaxing and pleasurable It should not be forced or painful Unfortunately porn industry creates a very poisonous idea regarding what sex should be damaging women When experts join and say sex should be OK women start to doubt their felling what they really fell I think it is all in their mind and they should shut up and do or put up with what feels uncomfortable Solution is not to deny the problem

[@oswahchaudhry1170]

We’ll explained!!

[@lucillahyacinthe2664]

Best ever video

[@tinafoster2912]

Love your videos. Thank You.

[@julielancaster1020]

Thank you! ☺️

[@ladydee191]

Hello thank you for this very educational video . I was diagnosed with a cervical prolapse it's small I believe it's minor but my cervix prolapsed I do not have a uterus I had a partial hysterectomy and sex was very painful that's how I new something was wrong. I told the nurse i see a little mass with a small pinhole in it and she said that was my cervix. So is it still safe to have sex, the doctor said yes, do you think a lubricant and one of the positions you showed would help with the pain it was a very cutting pain no bleeding.

[@roxylase]

Thank you so much for this video. However, I am a bit confused about which position would be good for me. I have a cystocele and a rectocele, both 2. degree. :-( If I use 2. Position, would that make my Rectocele worse, since the rectum falls down during intercourse? Thanks, Rox.

[@k.pep.1253]

How are you doing now? Just diagnosed with same.

[@AshleyEverett-p9p]

What about a pregnant momma 19weeks with number 5 with a bladder prolapse it doesn't hurt but I feel like he is hitting the bladder is that normal? It almost like a poking feeling it's not imedent but shortly in to sex.

[@oliveblake-sy6sl]

Thanks

[@blessed7871]

I just got diagnosed today & this video answered a key question that came to mind

[@alejandraschob9699]

Thank you so much

[@helmarria924]

Thank you.

[@seetasingh2032]

What causes a prolapse in the first place.This is new to me.😮

[@Brooklynn291]

Childbirth and constpaition , heavy lifting , basically a weak pelvic floor.

[@EnochnKale]

Just aging, don’t have to give birth to have this issue. Weak pelvic floor. Hysterectomy like myself I believe made me get it a lot quicker 😢

[@christinehoffman1825]

Thank you 😊

You're so welcome 🧡

[@JamesFallgatter-ds9zn]

[@musokeshifah6289]

thanks so much please

[@PelvicEmpowerment]

You're so welcome 🧡

[@dianamurrow7894]

I found your video very interesting, however, I was really disappointed as I hoped you would explain some exercises that would help. Also if I am touched in the vaginal area not deeply I orgasm immediately, is this because I have a prolapse. Thank you

[@shawncaroline3551]

I have a rectocele, cystocele, and prolapsed uterus. None are severe, but curious if anal sex is a bad idea. You did not mention it in your video.

[@EnochnKale]

I would assume so, though I’m no expert😅. I would think it makes the muscle there weaker with use/time

[@barbaragekoski8725]

would semen make you more susceptible to infection if you have a pessary

[@lamasaadeh7044]

Hi ..r u still taking dmannose? Bcoz am on it and am afraid to quit ..will i get utis again if i quit?

[@PelvicEmpowerment]

Hi! Yes, I am still taking d-mannose every day as a part of my preventative routine! I have an update FAQs video as well as a blog post that I created back in 2019 that both speak more about this and provider further details. Even though they're from 2019, they are still current as nothing has changed in my routine since then! The video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zme2fZamo7psmcU And the blog post: www.pelvicempowerment.com/uti-faqs/ Wishing you the best!

[@kellynichols4227]

It does affect your sex life the man can’t feel your walls Your grip is not tight

[@mr.reroute]

Yooo I’m a man and this is what I felt. My dick is really thick.. so I was so confused and compelled to understand why I couldn’t feel the walls. That’s an uncomfortable thing to ask a woman.

[@loueybai7635]

Are u a male or female

[@mr.reroute]

@@loueybai7635 a male

[@annab13]

I dont have the courage to talk about this kind of stuff with anyone 😆

[@judyeaton1039]

Me either

[@Isalehasapphire]

Thank you

[@SouthFloridaWoman]

Thank you 😊❤

[@DivineLightFitness]

You are a Godsend! The visual really helped me to understand more about this topic.

[@jeanhuber3344]

What about getting a UTI after having sex with a pretty bad prolapse? How likely would that happen?

[@Odin31b]

Any update? My wife have frequent UTI and heavy flows since our child's birth.

[@yaffafinelt7368]

Great video! Thank you. I have been abstaining from sex ever since diagnosis. Thank you for your knowledge and explanations❤

[@junemoralez2160]

Very informative...thank you. You are awesome!

[@CPost-gr8sk]

She's good! :)

[@Myriel67]

I am scheduled for surgery in June. I admit I am a bit afraid. And of course for me for a year and half sex is a mission impossible. It’s like the meat is tearing apart. And tremendous pain.

[@lauratrotter476]

Giving your time and explaining so well really is a relief and I'll look for a PT but wish it was you 😊thank you

[@ajohonly3721]

Thank you 🙏🏿

[@kendahlshortway8038]

You are so cool and kind for making this video. Thank you!

[@abassjulie8307]

Really helpful

[@andrearamirez4765]

I really hope you see this comment My dr sent me to therapy and I’m doing my Kegel exercise , about how long Into therapy should I notice an improvement(pain during sex, peeing myself when I sneeze) or if I really need surgery??

[@tomesjonos5763]

Thank you for sharing Dr..God bless you. Amen🙏🙏

[@tatuchic36]

I don’t feel any pain during sex but my partner feels the pain upon penetration.

[@tiacurtis3994]

This is very helpful would like your email address so I can communicate better

[@hollypuga5736]

I’ve been diagnosed with a bladder prolapse and have tried being fitted for the Pessary to no avail and now I’ve been waiting for a couple months to get into the Urogynecologist , my appointment is September 8 th. I hoped that I could get into a physical therapist who specializes in this area. Yikes this is very uncomfortable. Anyway I wish you were closer. Thank you for this video

[@isabelm8264]

Thank you . God bless you 💖🙏

[@carolineRuddy-tw1vg]
