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 🧡

[@judypadula7659]

I just found you and cannot thank you enough for your education and speaking freely ❤

[@DivineLightFitness]

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

[@PurelyPelvic]

Great video!! I’m a pelvic floor PT and this is a great video to share with patients struggling with this issue to allow time in clinic for discussing more topics or treatments. Thanks!!

[@tracycoffey-gd7fd]

Thank you so much for your compassionate and considerate approach. Your videos have been extremely helpful for me! ❤

[@yaffafinelt7368]

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

[@rochellemitchell814]

Thank you this video was very informative, alot of clarity on this issue.

[@queenbloodymary7209]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@JamesFallgatter-ds9zn]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@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

[@esmeraldaweatherford1822]

Thank you for this info I’m so happy I found it. So I had a total robotic hysterectomy about 9 months ago and now I think I’m experiencing the symptoms of a prolapse, my question is, does the kind of hysterectomy(vaginal versus abdominal) determine the outcome of a potential prolapse or increase the risk of having one especially if you already had a history of OAB?

[@kimperry3214]

This is so helpful! Thank you so much!

[@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.

[@junemoralez2160]

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

[@stefkakratseva4880]

Thx 4 the visual!!! 💯💜👩🏼‍⚕️👩🏼‍🏫👍🏾

[@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.

[@deniesekline-thatcher8380]

So grateful you have arrived‼️💞💝

[@Mrs.Sofiet2000]

[@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.

[@RonkeOmojola]

Thank you so much I feel more relieved.

[@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.

[@HealyTheresa]

Thank you so much 😊❤

[@bykdlex356]

Thank you . God bless you 💖🙏

[@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.

[@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??

[@tinafoster2912]

Love your videos. Thank You.

[@moniquehuchet3646]

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.

[@5zazen]

Plenty of willing men to help substitute for the dildo you would be surprised. Gilf. Thx for the info

[@blessed7871]

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

[@5zazen]

​@@judyeaton1039plenty of men to discuss and implement

[@dianaanjum9497]

It is important and normal to speak about this issue at least with someone that treats these issues and learn your options . Always get a second opinion . I am a mesh survivor and learned the hard way

[@dianaanjum9497]

There is no shame in talking about health issues we are all human and this is a very common issue because having a vagina is common and having babies is common and that is hard on the body . We have been lead to believe we should be just fine but the truth is we were told and taught this because if many different factors like money ! There is a while industry selling pads and diapers . Getting this fix makes your families lives easier as you age because you won't get deadly and dangerous uti infections as a advanced senior . Do it for you and your family . We didn't use to talk about pregnancy either . Things get better and safer when we get education and talk about it !!!!! In France they have pelvic floor support from pregnancy on so this doesn't happen to women as often . Female health does not end with a hysterectomy. I am so angry at how dr's fail us .

[@noragarcia5744]

Thankfully you are amazing!

[@PelvicEmpowerment]

You're so kind, thank you!

[@oliveblake-sy6sl]

Thanks

[@LauraSandoval-t3z]

Had therapy it helped. But year after therapy and back again and worse. Surely constant therapy can’t be the only answer?

[@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 😢

[@rosieshere339]

Its true i had bad uti cause by rectalcele all my pelvic organs felt they were going out through vaginal. Started kegel also went to pelvic therapist like physical therapist,. I was scared to have sex again but actually it helped.😮

[@christinehoffman1825]

Thank you 😊

[@PelvicEmpowerment]

You're so welcome 🧡

[@anaolivares9880]

I live in La Quinta, CA. Could you please help me get PT?

[@PelvicEmpowerment]

Unfortunately I can't help you directly with care coordination in this way, but I CAN offer you a directory of pelvic physical therapists that should be able to help you locate a provider in your area! Here is the link: pelvicrehab.com/ I'm so glad that you're seeking pelvic PT and taking a positive step towards your healing. You deserve peace in your body 🧡

Thanks.

[@lr1732]

They make little sex cushions that are angled which can be very helpful. I prefer the softer ones but I am little, bigger people would need the firmer ones. 😊

[@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

[@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

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!

[@barbaragekoski8725]

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

[@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

[@5zazen]

​Butt to butt knotted. Woof! ​@@EnochnKale

[@5zazen]

​​@@EnochnKalecan lessen the internal pressure yes, which is higher in men than women, yet some women enjoy it as it hits the g spot differently, perhaps similar to a penis that is really wide at the base and causes stretching of the vj enhancing clitoral stimulation. Some men are very wide at the base which some women seem to appreciate greatly as there is a feeling of being "tied". The initial stretch followed by that in the vj perhaps is similar to g spot stimulation elsewhere? But again lessening internal pressure in the backdoor has been linked to incontinence so perhaps best to abstain from the backdoor.
