Thank you, for sharing this information. I'm not a doctor, but, I know multitudes of women worldwide that have experienced natural childbirth (and have had many children up to fifteen and more) and vaginal prolapse did not happen to them, but more importantly, most women worldwide have never heard of such a thing... However, careless, negligent medical professionals facilitating surgical procedures (and other medical procedures) can cause vaginal prolapse. Therefore, it appears that careless surgeons and their physician assistants are causing vaginal prolapse. So, all surgeons and their assistants should be properly trained to be extremely careful when performing any kind of uterus, vaginal, cervical or childbirth procedure since a woman's vaginal canal (and other body parts) is very strong but can be broken down and/or severely damaged if far too much pressure is applied the wrong way when using vaginal opening instruments or other types of surgical/medical tools... ALL surgical procedures should be videotaped from beginning to end, no exceptions, to prevent medical/surgical malpractice.
I have a prolapse and I have never had children. My symptoms are horrible lower back pain, frequent urination, constipation (due to prolapse), uncomfortable intercourse, protruding uterus/cerix, incontinence and so forth. I feel like a freak if am honest and my self confidence is nil. I tried the kegal exercises and they didn't help so I wear a perssary 24 hrs a day and with this I still have some of the symtoms sometimes if my bladder is full I cannot even pee. It is such a horrible feeling. I am now going to try the kegal 8 ultra electronic device as I have had good reviews. I really hope it works. I should have edited this for anyone reading this. Best thing I ever did was buying a Kegel8 Ultra Electronic pelvic toner. I encourage you all to do this as you will be transformed.
I initially did but unfortunately I would like to have children in the future and I was told this reverses the issue. I have also heard quite a few horrible stories about the surgery
I'm 53 and menopausal, I have noticed the last 3 days, that I have pressure in my lower abdomen and a feeling of needing to use my bladder all the time. Would that be a frontal prolapse which is affecting my bladder? My mother had a prolapse when she as in her 40s and had it repaired, would I be genetically predisposed to organ prolapse myself?
Hello! Thanks for the video. You mentioned that there are things that can be tried for a runner with prolapse. Are there things besides a pessary? I have one and it helps, but it's so hard to take in and out. I've taken to running without my pessary because I don't want to deal with it, and I can tell my prolapse is getting worse. Thanks!
Please can I ask if it's normal to feel like you need to pass water a lot more but you cant hold as much as you used to? Also the flow is not as fast anymore. I'm finding this scary as I'm up and down to the loo all the time. Also I have a lot of pelvic and back pain. I've been told it's a mild prolapse but it feels awful
I had a rectal prolapse surgery in 2005. And now I think it’s coming back. I’m exhausted from pelvic pain, a leaky rectum and an urge to have a bowel movement yet nothing’s really there but mucus and fluid. I’m scared to death I may require another surgery which was awful. I spent 12 days in the hospital and had a nasogastric tube for 3-4 days which was extremely painful and the worst part by far.
@Skye Dawson How are you feeling now ? Currently in the exact same boat. It's also burning a bit but doesn't feel like cystitis. Although would prefer it if it was so I could get some antibiotics. This is hell.
Thanks for this video. I have a rectocele and have been assessed by gynaecologist and physios over the years having had 2 big babies 20+ years ago. Constipation is a problem I have to keep on top of and I find abdominal massage ever morning helps a lot. I splint my perineum and I have to admit that I do pelvic floor exercises intermittently. My worry is that I still leak either a small amount if soft stool or most commonly faecal fluid. I get the impression from the professionals that this the best it’s going to get and i just have to get on with it. I also use hormonal cream vaginally twice a week Can you suggest anything else please?
Hello Doc, my Mom have rectal prolapse and she had gone for a surgery (lapraroscopic posterior mesh rectopexy done 3 yrs back ever since she is so so sick she is continously complaining of loose motions (around 20 times on daily basis) if we give her any medication to control that it results in constipation. We are in such a bad dilemma what to do to help her she is almost 69 yrs, I knw the recovery takes time but please please please if u can suggest anything which can help her would be so greatly appreciated, we can't see her in so much pain. Please help.
Madam will my posterior vaginal wall prolapse increase if i planned for second child by vaginal delivery? Plz guide. Im 35yrs.. I had vaginal delivery since. Then i had rectocele. The bulge come til the entranc of vginal opening.. I get constipation often
Omg.. i am 19.. i have used a menstrual cup for an year but i got a new one last month.. it was okay last month, nothing wrong... but this month i started feeling discomfort after 2 days of wearing it.. i switched to my old one and was a bit more okay. But i couldn't bear it neither way so i stopped and used a pad. I still feel the "pain" , i feel my vagina bulging out and i feel like i am getting into a prolapse so i want to correct this as soon as possible... oh wow. Menstrual cups caused me prolapse and i didn't use it wrong at all... i have used it as i've been using for the last year but idk what went wrong .. :( i am so sad
Can I ask, does it matter what stage the prolapse is when it comes to symptoms? Like is someone who’s a grade 1 less likely to get symptoms from someone who is a grade 2 or 3 or does it just depend on each person?
Great question. And, no - it doesn't matter. I've met some people with significant grade 3 prolapses and no symptoms, and those with minor laxity and lots of symptoms. It's a very individual thing, and there's lots of evidence that in the vast majority (>93%!) get full resolutions of symptoms with physio treatment.
I’m 16 and out of no where I felt a discomfort and I seem like it was skin tissue sticking out I tried to push it back in but it still feels a bit uncomfortable
i have had difficult bowel movements since i was a small child. my daughter had it once her poop solidified as a baby. i have monitored my water intake for the most part of the past decade. 10 months post childbirth with my daughter, i had a fecal impaction (2 failed enemas and a successful one). i have made major dietary changes since such as going vegan (milk and meat make for more sluggish bowel movements). i also have gerd, so i unfortunately can’t eat things like tomatoes and have cut out gluten. i had prolapse 2 and a half years post birth. tmi, i prolapse from passing gas. i have introduced oat meal and oat milk to my diet to help with my bowel movements and i haven’t had prolapse from morning bowel movements (surprise night movements are not so lucky) even though the first stool is always hard. i have been doing kegels for a few weeks. i also eat flax seeds, which is what i have been giving my daughter for the past year, before that i gave her coconut milk or coconut water to help her go. i worry because she still strains to go. i wish she would drink more water, but she isn’t always willing to drink much.
I have stage 2 prolapse. The squatty potty has been amazing for me. It took me 2 weeks to get my bowels used to it but after that it takes only a minute or less for me to go when before it was take me 10 mins or more. Chia Seeds work amazing for me.
Can intimacy make this worse?, with the carrying my son has special needs and I care for him 24/7 😞I might need to learn how to lift the right way, I usually feel spasms between legs when I carry him😞thank you great video I had been panicking for the past 2 weeks I just felt so miserable
Can you have a hypertonic floor with a prolapse ? I go to pelvic floor therapy but she advises me to not do kegals until my muscle spasms are resolved . Im really confused ? 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I'm dealing with the same issue, my recommendation (I'm not a professional) is to do hamstring stretches a lot!!! I couldn't believe how interconnected all the tissue is. Your posture is your #1 enemy or best friend, women's hips are shaped different from men and were often taught their posture is our posture. Wrong. Align your body as if you were walking and sitting like a queen. Sitting like a lady wasn't just for a sexist reason. Look into "hypoppresive prolapse" we have to make sure we're relaxed before we can exercise. It's counter productive but relaxing is the only way you can overcome this. Get yourself a therawand if you haven't yet, game changer.
Hi. Don't be worried, there's a lot of different things that can feel or look like a rectum prolapse. And even if it is, it's very treatable - often they don't need surgery. It's very rare in a 14 yr old. Is there a nurse at your school you can talk to? Or could you see your doctor on your own?
Jilly Bond it’s the next day... Just got back from school. I don’t feel it anymore I even checked but I’m scared of it coming back when I use the restroom yk I’m sure it was rectum prolapse since yesterday I touched it and tried pushing it back in (Thts what google said to do) But yeah Thxs for the reply!
@@socilaluxxy2335 Make sure you're not straining when you open your bowels - have a watch of my videos about how to go to the toilet and get a step to put your feet up on. Then see a doctor!
@@socilaluxxy2335 hiya. It sounds like haemorrhoids/piles. Lots of people including me have them. They feel like lumps outside your rectum and they can itch or burn. They can be caused by constipation. Can you buy some cream as this seems to help shrink them immediately
After my third child although I'm only 28 if had the last 2 children a year apart and I noticed around the 6 week Check up that my cirvix was about an inch away from the entrance to my vagina. It did get slightly better but not much. I can see my cervix with a mirror quite easily, I have really watery periods aswell which is strange because they hurt more. I'm done having babies anyway but yeah thank you for this video xx
lilly mai it does happen to older women as I am almost 60 🥺, but looking back I’ve had it a long time without severe symptoms. It got worse when I developed a bacterial infection there that was very very painful and then the golf ball feeling. I am now doing pelvic exercises to help if not I would like to look into a pessary device, waiting for my pg to get me in to a specialist. I’m glad things have improved for you. I wished I had known of these exercises when I was younger so I could have possibly avoided all this.
@@roxxigirl1320 yeah the exercises definitely helped me. I think the main causes are damage to or weakening of the pelvic floor muscles. The way it was described toe is if its weakening you can build the strength back up with the exercises, but how much improvement you get will vary from person to person. Sometimes it's still noticeable to me but other times I don't notice it so there's definitely been improvement. There are videos on pelvic floor exercises but your right we aren't told about these things until it becomes a problem and of course prevention is better than cure isn't it. I really hope you can find an answer without the surgery. Good luck x
@@lillymai2428 exact same situation, I’m 28 and had my last two kids just year apart. I’m 2 years PP from my last baby. I got an iud yesterday and suddenly Now, I can see my cervix with a mirror! I’m terrified. I understand exercises can help strengthen but, does this mean it’ll never go back to its place?? Like it won’t come out but it’ll never go back??
Can someone pls help me. Idk if i should go to a doctor or not. So this happend like 2 days ago I was in bathroom doing my thing (number 2) and i always felt a little ball come out but i had controll of it By the way sorry for my english. But like i said i always had some kind of controll of how hard i pushed but this time it was diffrent. So i most times take my phone to bathroom to like check youtube vids while i poop but i also like focus pooping so yeah... but this day this time it happend i didnt push much just like medium and then i just feel this kind of ball i was talking about coming out (the start of the rectum) so i put it back in and was chocked i mean i wasn't even pushing hard like i normaly do (i dont push super hard but just for the last poo to come out). But now i feel its coming out much easier then before and im not even pushing medium so im scared of even pushing little. The thing is that the time it happen i was trying to grap my phone so my chest was not near but like somewhere at my thighs and i think thats how it happend. So if you pls tell my what to do would i be super happy and glad that i didnt write this for nothing
I didn't know that!! Does it help alleviate. Aheavy pelvic floor? And I'd love to hear your thoughts on whatever else you recommend on eating! I take grass fed collagen. Thank you so much
She needs to see a doctor. They will tell her what options she has. She can probably get a pessary, which is a device you can insert into the vagina to support the organs.
