What is prolapse? Understand, Prevent, and Avoid Pelvic Organ Prolapse for Women

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Every woman is at risk for developing prolapse, but there are things that can help prevent it! Knowledge is power. Contact a pelvic floor physical therapist for in-person evaluation and treatment, and read my free Beginner's Guide to Prolapse for at-home support: bit.ly/prolapseguide

Wonderful!!!! I loved the chicken. 😁 I've had a prolapse for 32 years and I love your work. I am sending this to all 5 of my daughters in hopes that they will not have the struggles that I've had. 🙂

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Thank you so much for spreading the word!!! This info is so important and still so under-recognized.

[@OTseven]

Wow. So EXTREMELY helpful !! Thank you. 😮😊

[@Karen-1173C]

Excellent info!! I really never heard of prolapse until I started having hypertonic pelvic floor. I'm seeing a PT weekly and recently I had a really bad flare that sent me to the doctor thinking I had a uti, even though all cultures are negative, so I started doing your pelvic release videos and it got me feeling 90% better over a few days of doing them! I give God all the glory and thank Him for you supplying all this info to help many people get their lives back again. God bless you and I will continue to do those stretches daily and look out for more helpful videos like this 💚

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Hypertonic pelvic floor *absolutely* contributes to prolapse symptoms! I'm glad you found relief. Also, please watch this video, "The Paradox of Prolapse" -- I think it'll resonate with you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqS0dnSundZ_g7c

[@naomilee9866]

My hypertonic pelvic floor felt like a UTI too!! I must have had a dozen negative cultures done but my GP didn’t know what else to do and didn’t really care honestly. Luckily the right information was put in my path so I could find the right help 🖤

[@Karen-1173C]

@@vibrantpelvichealth thank you!!

[@Karen-1173C]

@@naomilee9866 I'm so glad you're on the right path too! It makes me feel better just to know what is going on with my body. Since I started this I can go about 2 days feeling awesome, then symptoms come back because I tightened back up but at least I know I'm on the right track now. I will continue to do these stretches, and practice relaxation, it definitely helps!

[@barbarasauve]

Wonderful, informative video. I grew up in the 1950s when young girls were made to wear girdles if they had any belly at all! I've never had children but did develop a cystocele in my 60s. I'm sure it started with that girdle! I'm so glad that young women now have access to all of this information and that it is being talked about so openly. Thanks for all of your great work and videos.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Thank you!! Yes, I am so glad to be able to help women of all ages learn about their bodies!

[@mamaamal6310]

I am a women's health physiotherapist and i enjoy watching your videos because they are clear and simple .... the reason for the increase in women's incidence of pelvic organ prolaps compared to men is due to the increase in normal laxety during the period of the menstrual cycle

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Yes, female pelvic anatomy and our natural hormone fluctuations during the menstrual cycle (and also moving into perimenopause/menopause) are two reasons for women's higher incidence of prolapse, regardless of pregnancy and/or childbirth! There are so many reasons people can develop a pelvic organ shift, and so much info I would've liked to have covered in this video, but I tried to keep it short and simple with a few key "touchpoints" for prevention. Thank you for watching!

[@natty246810]

Thank you for the great video. Can you do a video on safe exercise to do. I workout a lot I like to do squats and abdominal workouts (not just situps or crunches) however my mother, 2 aunts, and grandma have prolapse and I was told by a urogynocologist that’s I’m at risk. I have not had any kids yet so I’m kind of nervous

[@jamiejoyner6336]

Well hello again I dearly love your information that you give and the way you give it I do believe I do all of those but I've had to start sitting to pee it kills me to do it standing do not know what direction to go

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Sitting to urinate is helpful, so that you can fully relax the hip and pelvic muscles. I recommend sitting fully on the toilet seat regardless of gender!

[@selenapresley7189]

Could you make a video of how to do the crunches to be supported from below? I'm not sure how to safely execute that I have a pelvic floor problem and I've probably done all of the things you've mentioned Very helpful video !

Absolutely! This video, "crunches done right," is from my archives and it'll show you how to support from below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGOymHmippeSbrM

[@jamievillanueva1064]

I have had real bad flare ups when I wear spandex leggings..."pinching" around my waist. I always wanna look good & sexy so I wear tight, form fitting clothes. I recently realized the flare ups were caused by these tight clothes. So i bought 1 size up on all my leggings. My symptoms have already improved! and flare ups don't happen regularly!

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

That’s wonderful!!! Such a simple solution! I’m sure you still look great, and it’s so much healthier for you to avoid that pinching around the middle 👍

[@ari-jv]

Can stem cell therapy help with this. Informative video btw 👍🏽

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Stem cell therapy's effectiveness for treating pelvic organ prolapse is not firmly established. While it's being researched for tissue regeneration, including pelvic floor tissues, more studies are needed to confirm its safety and long-term benefits. Currently, conservative treatments like pelvic floor therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and pessaries are the primary approaches for prolapse. In severe cases, surgery may be an option. To explore stem cell therapy, consult a specialist in pelvic floor disorders and stay updated on medical research developments. ~Vibrant Support

[@judylee1860]

Using props versus your own “region,” this video really upped your professionalism. Good job, Dr. Bri. 😊

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

At times, it is better to have something demonstrated on a real human body. It has nothing to do with professionalism! Quit using professionalism to disguise your own discomfort with certain topics. Also, you can no longer control others with the fear of professionalism! No body gives a bloody hell about some outdated, corporate term that was used to keep workers in their place and slaves to the company, Judy Lee!

It feel the heaviness in my lower abdomen/uterus area, can prolapse be felt there too?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Possibly. Please talk to your local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support

[@heathermcdonald6691]

How do I get the help I so need ?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Hi Heather, I recommend contacting a pelvic floor physical therapist in your area. You can also learn more about prolapse via my beginner's guide to prolapse: bit.ly/prolapseguide ...there's a LOT of info in the guide, so take your time with it! You'll also notice some links to join the first week of my Lift program for free. Best wishes!

The chicken is a helpful visual !!

[@Alineko82]

What is the prolapse where you can look down and a little skin ball is peaking out? I've had crohns for years and 10 or more bowel movements a day that also pass through a stricture have destroyed my pelvic floor.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

It’s hard to tell without an exam. I highly recommend seeing a pelvic floor Pt for an official diagnosis. My Lift program can help with prolapse !

[@Soulsearcher7205]

Hi Dr Bri, This is in regard to a friend of mine who is postpartum 8 months after the first baby who has developed a mild cystocele and minimal rectocele… She had a normal delivery without an episiotomy in lithotomy position…She didn’t focus much on pelvic floor strengthening yet and now is ready to do anything to make her pelvis go back to prepregnancy state.. With the right guidance and therapy is it possible to reverse it? Thank you in advance

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Yes, ABSOLUTELY. While everyone is different and I certainly can't make guarantees, I can say that it's definitely possible to reverse symptoms of a mild cystocele and minimal rectocele. I have many clients in my Lift program who've done exactly that! Definitely have her check out my prolapse guide: bit.ly/prolapseguide

[@JulieTVeefy]

@@vibrantpelvichealth as someone who has a mild prolapse I believe in all areas after having my first child, I am still working on getting my pelvis stronger. I am worried having more children would make it worse again- do you have any advice for me? I really want more children but I’m also scared it would worsen.

I'm sorry, I don't have any specific recommendations but I know there are many styles of foam wedge cushions with posterior cutouts to ease pressure on your perineum! Best wishes, and here's a video about pudendal neuralgia that might be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXKaonyDa9aepNk

I’m have prolapse bladder and uterus and was told I need a hysterectomy and a bladder lift. Is there anything can be done without surgery.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Absolutely! There's a LOT you can do, especially if your prolapse is mild to moderate. If it's severe -- protruding outside of your vagina -- then surgery might be your best option. But if it's mild to moderate then I encourage you to explore conservative options first. Read my free prolapse guide carefully, there's lots of great info in there for you: www.vibrantpelvichealth.com/guide-to-prolapse

[@judylee1860]

From someone given an unnecessary hysterectomy, I cannot imagine removing organs is the right answer.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

@@judylee1860 I'm so sorry that happened to you. I always advocate for people to explore conservative options first (especially if their level of prolapse is mild to moderate).

I wear a Serola belt due to hypermobility. Could that be pinching my pelvis in a negative way?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

If it's placed properly (down around your pelvic bones) then it shouldn't be pinching your pelvis in a negative way. The info shared in this video is more about things that are pinching around the waistline and causing pressure shifts downward. Your Serola belt shouldn't be an issue in the same way as a corset, or waist trainer, or tight high-waisted pants would be.

[@abbysc417]
