For over a year I have been having incomplete bowel movements. Seen several doctors with no results. I'm 70 years old and don't know what else to do. I need help. Can;t live like this.
I’m so sorry you’ve been going through that. That sounds really challenging. It’s important to rule out internal issues within the intestines and GI system, and pelvic floor muscles when incomplete emptying is occurring. Has your physician referred you to a pelvic floor physical therapist? I often find with my patients who have incomplete bowel movements that we need to work on resolving pelvic floor muscle tightness for them to be able to fully empty.
@@Yanyaaaaaaaan sorry to hear you're struggling with this. It can take time and practice for some to get used to the squatty potty. I'd recommend checking out the other two videos I linked in the description above to help with breathing, hip openers, pooping posture tips, etc...if you haven't already
@@Yanyaaaaaaaan there are many reasons that can contribute to someone having constipation. The squatty potty is just one suggestion to try. I’d recommend exploring the other tips in this video and checking out the toilet posture and the hip mobility exercises (link in description above) for additional help
The grade of someone’s prolapse can’t be reversed without a surgical interventions. However, the severity of someone’s pelvic floor symptoms from a prolapse can be significantly improved, if not fully resolved, with pelvic floor physical therapy AND learning how to manage/resolve constipation is an important strategy for improving any type of prolapse symptom(s).
