![3 Things NOT To Do To Cause Prolapse [Or Make It Worse!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HQva50kcS9M/mqdefault.jpg)
I had vaginal and rectal prolapse… surgery did not help!! Within 3 days it felt no better than before!! I was devastated as I was a waitress and a single mom!! Make a long story short… a pessary ring saved me ! I got the smallest one and 13 years later it is still working!!! I am 70!!!😀👍
Pessaries do work well if you’re willing. A lot of people really don’t want that and they want surgery right away. In my experience surgery works well but it needs to be done by an experienced surgeon.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary I supposedly had one of the best … I went in 3 times after my surgery telling him I was feeling the same falling out as before . He would give me a quick check and say nothing is wrong… I am I excellent shape with no health problems so it really bothers me. He retired shortly afterwards and I ended up going with a pessary. I had the “ mesh sling” which is totally different than the surgery my mom had years prior and she never had a problem. But , all’s well that ends well I guess, and thankful for the pessary, it has worked out wonderfully for me! 👍
That’s great news and comforting for the rest of us.
Can younhavevsex with a ring
@@carolchism5742see❤❤😮😅
This doctor is lovely. Easy to talk to and kind
Thanks, you are too kind.
I lost 60 pounds and did Keagle exercises all throughout the day for months and months and it made a huge difference. It also helped with bladder leakage from childbirth. ❤
Kegels exercises definitely help but not for everyone. Glad you did well.
How did u lose weight .
I am from India, a doctor, mother of 2 kids . Recently diagnosed with prolapse of bladder ....
So many exercises are out of option now . How to lose weight ?
@@spiritualskin5104 1. Never stress your mind and body with exercise. If we make it a job our brain and body will shut down and we won’t lose anything.
2. Making sure you are taking the proper vitamins and nutrients so you don’t get sick or lose your hair.
3. Completely getting rid of sugar.
4. Intermittent fasting.
5. Cardio/ but as for me I don’t like working out so my body doesn’t lose anything. I sing, and dance around my house and just move my body. This meditation has really helped with my health overall. I self healed and I love myself now. I hope all of you can change your lives too. Sending everyone love & light. ☮️🌎☯️💟
@@spiritualskin5104 Look into keto or just low carb. Best to you.
I have been trying to avoid the surgery for a few years, thinking that I can fix it with diet and exercise but it just keeps coming and going and it seems to have gotten worse now I want to be able to enjoy the rest of my life picking up my grandbabies dancing Exercising without worrying anymore and I don’t wanna have a surgery that I’m going to have to worry about the serious complications and future complications that I keep hearing about
Pick a great doctor. Ask your gyn for a referral to a Urogynecologist! They can give you all the options so you can choose what is right for you!
I had a hysterectomy about two years ago. The dtr then told me i need to see a urologist for baddler prolapse. It is so bad now about the size of a lemon. Even bigger a times. Scared to death of surgery. Your channel is helping me. I see urologist on 28. And very nervous
Don’t be scared but just make sure you feel comfortable with the person and their recommendations. Send another message when you have a treatment plan.
Hi Karen. Did you get surgery and if so how are you doing. I hope all is well with you now.
Awesome Video explaining what initially feels like an overwhelming health issue. Although it is not a life or death issue if you have prolapse, it can feel like it is. You are conscious of it at all times. Thank you for explaining with "Doctor Speak!"
It is still a severe issue that is difficult to live with. Hope you can find help!
Too bad that Dr. Mcqueary is in Tennessee if I lived in Tennessee I definitely would have tried to go see him to see if he can do my surgery. It is so hard to find someone that you can trust with Somethings so personal and delicate.
There are many great surgeons out there, where are you located?
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary
Staten Island,N.Y I have seen one urologist/gyno surgeon but the only surgery she has offered was the sacrocolpopexy i’d rather not deal with a Passary and I am not thrilled about having a mesh inside me she said the way they do the mesh now it does not pose any kind of health risk and it is not the one that they have banned using but I’m not comfortable with that still
@@cindyalexis616 see if a dermal graft, I use Dermapure, with sacrospinous ligament suspension could be done. I use this vaginal only technique very safely all the time.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary
I will definitely ask her she said they need to do some kind of urolo diagnosis test before surgery and she also said after the surgery I would need to be able to work about 6 to 8 weeks no lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk and no flying for three months. This is why I have been avoiding it because it seems it is a very nasty surgery with a very difficult recovery, it feels more like it’s my cervix and uterus coming out not my bladder that is where it’s most uncomfortable in that area.. My last period was extremely heavy, and seems that my cervix came out pretty much to stage 3 im afraid to shower! I was terrified when I came out of the shower, jumped upstairs and put my feet up so it could go back in so scared!
@@cindyalexis616 get another opinion that is much stricter than my thoughts. I can see how intimidating those requirements would be.
May GOD bless you Doctor McQueary
I already feel so blessed to have taken care of so many people throughout the years and be able to positively affect their lives. But thank you for your comments.
Thank you increasing my knowledge about this troublesome issue.
Happy to help! These are real problems that have great solutions.
thank you!! best video so far on this miserable topic!!
my experience: I am 78, had hystorectomy in my 40ties
1 child
now 1 year into bladder prolapse stage 4
not overweight, healthy lifestyle.
what helps me: Kegel exercises, pelvic strengthening exercises, Sex ( pushes the bladder into place, often for a whole day!!!
have decided against surgery at this point!!!
Well, please don’t wait too long. I just repaired a patient with a prolapse the size of a honeydew melon and her sister had told her to wait as long as she could. She concurs that that was not good advice. She’s doing well now with complete continence, and no longer has a prolapse. Just don’t continue to suffer. Let me know if there’s anything else that I can do or any other video subjects that would be best.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary thanks, having mine checked regularly.....getting better w exercise and hormone cream!
I have had this type of surgery with Dr. McQueary. He is a wonderful physician. I give him 5 out of 5 stars!!
I aim to help all that I can. Thanks for your confidence in me!
Hi may I know his location? Since I’m your comment it says you e seen him already? Thank you so much …
@@user-ci2rg8hc8w He is in Bristol, TN
This has been one of the best videos I have seen on this matter. Thank you ! I wish I lived in Tennessee to see you.
Hope you can find help!
Pelvic floor exercises are wonderful. I luckily only had one baby when I was young. Im 50 with strong pevics 💪
Great job
Can you please tell me which exercises did you do.?
Thank you. Your video actually relieved me that I can get this taken care of and not be too embarrassed to seek help
Please seek help but hopefully you have more information to make a great decision.
There is life after prolapse. Oh I can so relate to this. In 2018 I had prolapse surgery for uterus & bladder failing out. My back hurt and I had such pressure. I was basically home bound due to constant having to urinate. If we went out for quick meal & I could sit I could handle that. So I had the surgery 2018. So 5 weeks post op my bladder doesn’t hold up to the surgery and prolapses again. So I was having some issues with my tissues healing so I had to wait until August of 2019 to have surgery again. Then came Covid. Still not finished in 2021 I had to have a total knee replacement. I’m doing great now but I’m not going to lie it took me some time to physically ,mentally, and emotionally heal. I couldn’t do pessary they just came right out. My worst times were when there were low pressures in the area. The pressure was just horrible. The surgery wasn’t too bad and from the prolapse surgery by the 5-6 week I felt pretty decent. I had robotic surgery and yes I still had post op pain but not as bad as previous surgeries.
Hope you continue to heal but your story is one I hear every day!
How is the sex life after ?
Thank you for this video. I am considering possible surgery so this helps prepare me for the consultations on the various methods used. Great delivery of the information too.
Yes, this way you will be able to go in fully prepared to ask great questions and hopefully get excellent answers that make sense.
Dr, you are so nice, I loved this information. God bless you, dear.
So nice of you to say!
If all gynecologists were like you, it w be a better world, so l thank you. Just been diagnosed w bladder and rectocele at 62. Your information is so helpful, Bless you...❤
That’s sweet, thank you and I hope you do get the help you need.
Thank you! Simple yet amazing and well explained! As a medical student it has given me a great push in regards to this topic!! God bless
It’s an amazing topic and patients truly need your help. If you decide to go into this field, it is very gratifying to make a huge difference in their life.
Thank you so much. This was so informative. I’ve been battling with stage two cystocele and rectocele for about three years now I have seen a PT and it relieve the symptoms but they tend to always come back. I have lost weight but the minute I gain two or 3 pounds I feel pressure I am 53 and perimenopause, and still getting my menstrual cycle but very heavy and very irregular now my last one seemed to have pushed the prolapse out to probably a stage three scared me to death. I do not want mesh anything foreign inside me I’ve been trying to avoid the surgery I cannot pick up my grandbabies. I cannot run around too much without suffering later on having to put my feet up the pressure is unbearable, especially right before my menstrual cycle is supposed to come, I have periods where I can go a week or two without any symptoms but now I’m at a point where I welcome the surgery but do not want mesh seems to be more my uterus and cervix than my bladder. I’ve gone to a urogyno and my bladder seems to be working fine and I empty completely I asked for a hysterectomy, but they said that would not help my problem completely. What would you suggest? I am truly exhausted
You need help and this is a severe life disabling problem that most people don’t understand. Surgery without mesh is very possible but use of biological skin grafts are extremely effective. Hysterectomy can be but is not always necessary. Good luck.

I feel so sorry for you! I have mild to moderate and that's bad enough.
If you have not gotten a password yet, please consider getting one. It has helped me immensely. My problem is prolapsed uterus and bladder. It is at least at a very moderate stage.
And pelvic floor therapy, along with the pessary may help you.
I just had a relief listening to you. Thank you for making me to understand that it is not life threatning. I shall be seeing my Dr next week.
God bless and increase you in wisdom.
Wonderful! You are very welcome. My videos are just to help!!
Thankyou so much for explaining so well
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, doctor Mcquery, great, professional, humble, helpful, video! Blessings 🙏🏼💙🌷

Yes great information so far very well explained. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you doctor.. Your video is very informative, and I learned a lot from your video, which I am going to share with my sister.
Hope it gives you the information needed!
I've had a bladder prolopse since 2018 after a hysterectomy, I tried several pessarys. One I had an allergic reaction to, my body simply pushed the other 2 out immediately. I'll watch this to the end to see if you have any other ideas. Many thanks for attempting to help women!
Glad if the information helped you! Please consider surgical repair so you don’t need to suffer. But you need to find a surgeon you can trust.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary I will be making more money in the next 3-4 months with my new biz. I will come see you in Tennessee and get something wonderful done. There are no surgeons here that I can trust, or that have your experience.
@@elishagabriell6529happy to help you!
I had the mesh repairs in 2001. It was a great success!
The mesh did work if done well.
So well explained! Thank you doctor
Can one still use vaginal estrogen for prolapse if they are not post menopausal? Thank you. Why do some people still feel like the lump is still there after surgery
Thank You. It's such a personal subject, it's difficult to talk about. ♥️
Thatis why I am here to talk about difficult subjects and help you understand that you are not alone. More of your friends have these problems than you realize.
This video is so informative! Where in Tennessee are you? I’m moving to Nashville soon and would love to visit your office! My prolapse started because I picked up something way too heavy! Ugh! Never again! Subscribed to your channel!
Located in Bristol Tennessee about 4 hours from Nashville.
Great videos and very ! Informational, clearly explained and answers all the questions you’ve wondered to yourself. Thank you Doc 😊
Thanks so much I try to explain in very clear, simple terms! I hope these exclamations really help and make a difference in everyone’s life.
3 years ago I was told that I have stage 2 bladder prolapse and a stage 1 rectum prolapse. They did mention something about a vaginal they did mention something about a rectocele but I'm not sure if that is the rectum prolapse or whether it's something different.
The surgeon 3 years ago wanted me to have a complete hysterectomy because of a cyst on my ovary and at the same time the another surgeon was going to fix the rectocele. When I refused to have the hysterectomy the other rectocele surgeon said that she didn't want to fix the rectercele.
Three years later (last month) I decided to get a second opinion and this surgeon said I didn't need hysterectomy. However,
because of severe constipation my life is miserable. Nothing that I take relieves the constipation and I have tried everything.
Miralax, enamas, fiber, colonics and of course I completely changed my diet by eliminating sugar, and dairy.
I then went to another incontinence Doctor who said that my bladder prolapse was still stage 2 and my rectum was stage 1. (The same as it was 3 years ago)
I'm a very young 76 years old and I use to be very active but now my whole quality of life has changed.
All the incontinence doctor suggested was that I do kegel exercises and use vaginal hormone cream.
I'm at a loss as what to do because I am constipated every day of the week all day. Although I don't have any pain it's very uncomfortable constant pressure.
Please can you tell me what I should do because I don't feel I'm getting any answers from the many doctors that I have already seen.
I can’t tell you exactly what to do without examining you myself, but even with the stage one rectocele you could be very symptomatic with severe constipation. These problems can be repaired and often I will do that without a hysterectomy as well. A pessary, and sometimes also help with the bladder but may not help with the rectocele. I have had some patients that it really helped though. You certainly need a doctor that will give you a plan. Kegel exercises may help but they won’t fix the problem.
In regards to constipation I drinking mango juice helps.
Doctor, You are so thorough. Thank You
@@jurleanwilliams2771 you are welcome
Thank you Doctor for your Awesome video.very understandable explanation ❤
Hope it helps!
I have stage 4 bladder prolapse. I am 76. I am so glad to see this video. I wish you were my doctor! Even at stage 4 I can live with this bulge as long as it doesn't get huge! Lately there has been slight bleeding because of the irritation caused by pads worn because of slight bladder leakage. Is there a cream or gel that I can apply to the pad or onto the bulge itself without any harm? This is all I need right now. If you could kindly respond to this question, I would be most grateful. Thank you!
You are tougher than most, a stage 4 prolapse is difficult to live with. A pessary could be helpful. Estrogen cream can be helpful but Cerave cream OTC is not harmful. Petroleum jelly can help with irritation as well.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary Thank you so much for this much needed info!🥰
Doctor what you are talking about is just what I'm going through For 1 year and 1 month I'm in so much pain in my pelvic and lower back please help me Thank You 🙏❤️
You can get help and look in your area for a urogynecologist. There are also many gynecologists who practice this type of surgery to help you. Where are you located?
I just had a total hysterectomy and prolapse repairs. That was just in mid July. Hoping to not have to repeat this.
I hope that it fixes your problems and that you have a long-term repair.

Thank you so much I’m currently afraid I may be going through this and too embarrassed to talk on it
Don’t be embarrassed! Many women have these problems just get help because you can get help!
I had a bladder lift that went to stage four. It was terrible .I could not walk at this stage and surgery was finally done. Today after many years I sometimes feel like my bladder is slowly falling again so this information is very helpful. Thank YOU.
The bladder is the weakest part of the repair and often may need to be repaired again. Wait as long as you can but don’t suffer again like you did before.
Thank you doctor, love you so much
So nice of you
Thank you! Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you , dear Doctor.
Hope the information was helpful!
I am 74 years old and have been dealing with uterine prolapse wish I had you for as my Dr.
I would be happy to be your doctor
It is terrible. I am only 53 but I feel like I am 90 very uncomfortable specially, when I’m running around I have a barbecue coming up or I have to cook and entertain and I’m terrified.
Fear of the unknown, many great doctors out there that can help you!
Oh God I can see so many womens has prolaps problem ,I was always active and 3 years ago I noticed something there,Gynaecologist said bladder prolaps stage 1,
He offers me something he call Votive , 3 treatments for 3,500$ but not guaranteed ( only up to 2 years to be ok )or pessary nbr,5 Everything was new to me I was scared and said , I am wearing pessary but it’s frustrating to take and put in and I notice I have more discharge on pessary, Trying to lose weight and exercise,I don’t understand how come some women has that some don’t.
Also does estrogen cream helps? It’s so frustrating but pessary helps me to feel more confident,I don’t have any pain or problem with pee , only if I am all day to long on my feet it’s comes out,
It’s very hard to find honest and trustworthy doctor,
Thanks ❤️
Estrogen cream can help if you are menopausal. Surgery or a pessary is not typically needed for mild prolapse. You may want another opinion on your prolapse to see if this is worse than stated and if this could be fixed.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary thank you so much ❤️🙏
Thank you very informative.
Hope the information helped you!
Thank you so much for the informative video.

Thanks for watching!
Very interesting presentatoin. THANKYOU DR. X
You are very welcome
Thank you Dr. for your professionalism. Please move to Toronto. I would love to come see u. I need help!
I think there are Urogynecology physicians available at the University but I’m not sure how long will it take to get in and be evaluated and then have the correct surgery. Prayers for you to find the help you need!
I’ve had a pessary for 3 years, I have a surgically (smaller) reformed bladder, it was done after my hysterectomy. Now I don’t have prolapsed issues, just the constant pain and bloating that extends from the abdominal area. My gastro doc told me to see a urogynocologist. I did. Nothing can be done🤷🏼♀️ I feel horrible and keep bouncing from Dr to dr trying different things 😢
This sounds like a very difficult problem that I cannot know exactly what’s happening with your bladder, but sometimes scarring can lead to a restricted bladder capacity. Pain in the bladder area also can be interstitial cystitis and seeing a urologist or Urogynecologist that evaluates that would be appropriate.
I am very thankful to find you , amazing explaining I am so confused what to do about this problem, I subscribed and I am getting more education. Thank you Doctor 🙏💕
So happy to help
I'm. CNA and lifting and repositioning people has made mine fall out I remember the day it happened I was transferring a patient and I had to Bear their weight and I felt something fall out of me and I put my residence back in bed then went to the bathroom to see what it was and my nurse/supervisor said it was a prolapse uterus from lifting all the heavy people
A uterus can fall but you have options. Certainly consider a pessary so go to your gynecologist and ask to be fitted for that. A pessary can help you keep working and feeling comfortable with lifting patients. Surgery could also help but you need to be careful with lifting with can lead to failure.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary Thank you
very informative
Glad you think so!
Thank you Doctor
I am puzzled as to why women don't want to talk about prolapse
I myself do have a prolapse
As yet not sure if i want to go down the route of surgery
I have done a good bit of research and also got information leaflets
I am seeing my consultant in a few months there is lots of questions i want to ask
These things are embarrassing and are very difficult to talk about most women. I’m glad that you are able to tackle this straight on.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary
Thank you Doctor
Iearned more. No dr. has ever offered me surgery for mine but the ligament 😊ne seems like it might work. How do u find a surgeon who can do it?
A lot of doctors are uncomfortable with this type of surgery. Honestly you want a doctor very competent is this type of procedure. This is typically a doctor who is board certified in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. This can be a Gynecologist or Urologist with special training. The common doctor name is a Urogynecologist! Hope all goes well. Let me know!!
Yes, I would like to know as well. I guess we would have to ask if that is an option. My surgeon also never offered me ligament surgery or graft in place of a mesh. I am going in a few months to another GYN for a second opinion to see if he knows someone even if I have to go to Manhattan to do this.. I really am not comfortable with having a mesh
@@cindyalexis616 there certainly are non mesh options.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary .
Well then, why are they still using mesh?
Thank you for better explanation I got it now
Glad it helped
I had a mesh surgery 2
Months ago for a prolapse bladder so now I am facing a overactive bladder the doctor ask me to do a 48 hour bladder diary to see what’s going on 😞 hope to get better soon
Do the blotter diary because it does help to understand exactly what’s happening. Overactive bladder is quite common after having pelvic surgery. Medication‘s can help.
Thank you, this was very helpful!
I'm so glad!
This very helpful
I hope this video was able to give you some information that can make your life better.
I m 27 years old and coz of weakness i m suffering this uterus prolapse help me
Go to a OB.gyn dr .
Even being young you can have prolapse problems! Get to a Urogynecologist who specializes in this type of surgery. A pessary can help as well.

Hi Dr. My daughter has Lupus n very heavy menstrual bleeding for months at a time can you enlightened me with her issue thanks👍
She needs a doctor for the bleeding issues it may or may not be due to the lupus. Common to have some irregular bleeding which gets better after the lupus is under control.
Thankyou for the information❤ Dr.
CaN woman have a Bladder Prolapse operation at the age of 75 ?
I do them all the time on patients in their 80’s. Patients do very well with minimally invasive procedures.
Thank you so much for this. Currently not using pessary becuae of 30# weight loss. Hope it keeps ok.
Weight loss is important and pessaries can help. You just need to feel comfortable and not feel limited by the prolapse. Keep fighting.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary.
I have one. They are hard to remove tho. I do it seldom. Hurts too. Without it I have tissue poking out a little. Terrible.
@@WillChil466 they can be difficult but pessaries can stay in for up to 3-5 months and your doctor can remove, clean and replace.
Thanks very much it helps me to understand what’s going on
Glad to hear it, watch my other videos for more information about your issues.
Please talk about vault prolapse after hysterectomy
I will make videos on that soon but problems still very similar to uterine prolapse
Great information‼️❤️😍👍
Glad you think so!
Yes you said is true, it's really really painful😭😭 I have 24years and I'm having it since my 19th😢
So sorry you are suffering, hopefully you can get help!
Do you have a baby?
My mom just had a stage 4 prolapse and will need surgery. Nobody ever told her to do kegels except after birth. And I ask myself, what I can do to prevent. I do exercise 3 times a week, including core and deep breathing BUT I love heavy weightlifting. Is lifting weights also harmfull if done with the right technique? I had temporary prolapse after birth, but am symptome free now. Are there any studies about prolapse and weightlifting?
Heavy weightlifting can be a contributing factor in prolapse. Continue core exercises.
Great detailed explanation, you’ve convinced me to call a urogynecologist
Seek good explanations and non-surgical and surgical options.
Doc I have been getting this problem since 5 year, it comes very often and it's really painful especially when I was pregnant 😢. I contacted a doctor and he told me to do kegel exercises or I should go abroad for a successful surgery, but I don't have the facilities to go abroad, I'm from Mauritius 😪
I am well aware there is not good help everywhere. A pessary ring could help if you can find some doctor who could help you with that.
thank you for explaining the different forms it can take, this is for my mum and DRs just say er exercise Keagle, diet blah! you mention Mesh is this not dangerous? thanks again
That is why I published these videos because women need more information in a practical form. I did mention mash, but that typically is only used around the urethra or abdominal suspension and is safe when done by an experienced reconstructive surgeon.
I am diagnosed with mild urethra prolapse recently, and my symptoms affect my quality of life.
Urethral prolapse does cause stress incontinence, which is leaking with coughing and sneezing. This certainly can be improved with both physical therapy and kegel exercises, as well as potentially even surgery.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary thank you
Brilliant video, thank you! Very clear explanations delivered by an empathetic medic - sadly i dont live in the USA but i reckon you're the only male doctor I'd be prepared to see for this issue😅
Thank you for your kind comments. I think there are many caring physicians, all over the world who enjoy helping women with these problems. But certainly don’t suffer and seek help for prolapse issues. The goal of my videos is to make sure that people know what is available.
Awesome information
Glad you think so! Just trying to get practical information that helps you understand a difficult subject.
@@DrJeffreyMcQuearygood morning need your advice when am haveing sex it pain what you think cause that and I can feel like something come down
Very frustrating
True
My gynecologist told me to go to a urologist,that he couldn’t help me.
Although there are some urologists that do pelvic surgeries, it is less common. See if you can find a urogynecologist. Where do you live?
I had a total hysterectomy 35 years ago, and now have a prolapse of some sort, don’t know what it is.
Most common prolapse after hysterectomy is cystocele and upper vaginal prolapse. Do Kegel’s and try not to lift heavy weights. Surgery might be necessary at some point though.
I am now 35 and I also had this problem . It is in the forth stage and now i did a sling sugery. Now i am doing exercises. But my doctor said my intestine is also coming down.
This can all be repaired. Did you only have a sling and not repair of the prolapse? Exercises will not help a enterocele very much which is when the intestines are falling. This can be fixed.
Hey I have prolapse problem
And 6mm harnia do in bellybutton
What I can take kegal exercise
Please give any advise
I would not do kegles for a belly button hernia, it would bot help and could make it worse.
Good afternoon
I had lower back surgery the L4&L5 fused after surgery I use a catheter and has problems with passing stools. What can I do
It sounds like you have severe nerve damage or potentially have prolapse that is causing poor flow of urine and stool. He certainly need evaluation by a gynecologist to determine that.
I don't know if I could have surgery for this problems 😥
Doctor I think also pregnancy with fibroids also when the baby is trying to come out or trying to move around to have room
C sections included
Im ony 33 and i feel like my lifes over. Having surgery in a week and worried 😟
Pelvic prolapse is a difficult problem, but it certainly can be helped with surgery. I will pray that you have great success and you will get your life back.
How are you doing now?? Did you prolapse after birth?
Hello doc. I m 22. I know its not common for me to have a dropped bladder. I went to the gynae. The vaginal opening is completely blocked by the bulge that coming down. I had some constipation issues as well. Doc advised kegel exercise. I want to ask is there certain exercise which i should avoid to not make the prolapse worse. Please let me know.
Secondly can kegel exercise help lifting the bladder or will i face difficulty with intercourse. Should i be worried.
Even it required surgery will it affect the intimacy?
I want to know that 2
first question, have you had children? Sure kegels exercises and pelvic floor therapy can help just avoid straining and heavy lifting, that will increase the prolapse severity.
With intercourse you can feel some blockage that could be helped with surgery.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary no children. Can I do exercise like running and jumping?
@@DrJeffreyMcQuearyHello Dr.
I will be turning 49yrs old on the 27th of this month, well last week I felt very uncomfortable dwn there so I took it upon myself to take a picture (I’m pretty sure I wasn’t alone to do this idea ) if I start to do floor exercises will it help me go to restroom like #2 I am constipated I won’t lie I was pretty scared. But
Seeing your video calm me dwn I thought it was very explanatory. Thank you very. much Doctor thank you my Dr appt will be on the 6th of June.
I have been diagnosed with w a cystoseal and hv urinary urgency . I am on vaginal hormone treatments . The only solution my Urologists suggests is an implant of a device in my hip which communicates w my brain to alert me when I shd empty my bladder to try to avoid leaks. This doesn’t sound like it would treat my issues only possibly avoid leakages if it even works. I wish I could consult with you Dr. Q.
There are lots of options for urgency, but probably a cystocele needs to be repaired because often this is leading to poor urinary flow, which can then cause urinary urgency. The device that he wanted to implant is called an Interstim or Axonics. Medication can be used as well. That can help with urinary urgency. Botox injections are also an alternative. Hope you get the right care.
Hey Doc! What about your diet being to acidic and all your bodies calcium is going to bind the acid taking it from your connective tissues leaving everthing falling and sagging .?
I don’t feel that is a cause of prolapse. At least not that I have studied.
Mom has a pessary she got when she was in her 70’s she is now 94ys old one child only and she sees her GYN every 2 or 3 months for the fallen bladder and if she has for way too long she gets a bladder infection which that’s not easy having her pessary is round with holes inside
I do understand how difficult these problems are, but there are definitely ways to deal with this, and even for her being at 94 years of age a Copalis, if she is medically capable could be a closure procedure that could really help. Pessaries still can be very good ways to maintain. the vaginal area but infection still do happen. Typically infections are due to poor empty and you may consider a larger pessary or a new pessary that could help resolve some of that retention issues. Good luck with these issues.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary we went to her GYN she took out the pessary and she said she wanted do something different she’s not going put back inside she want to wait and see how he body will take it she goes back in April for another checkup and see if she needs too put back inside or not or find a different that will fit her. So we have to wait and see how she handle it
Can you recommend specific exercises to do other than kegles?
Exercises for your core muscles are the best and you can find examples all over the internet for that.
Doctor - thanks for your previous responses - very helpful . I’ve now seen 2 urogyns. I am 66 and apparently have uterus prolapse, cystocele and rectocele. Stage is 2. Both are pro removing the uterus. But one is very anti mesh and one recommends it and says she does the sacrocolpobexy 4x a week. I guess the mesh kind of scares me - but my understanding is the sacrosinios attaching to your own ligaments can fail. What’s your thoughts on the mesh option.😊😊
Mesh use on sacral colpopexy is the gold standard and the use of mesh is appropriate in this situation. If your doctor does this procedure best then it should be successful. I did mesh for years with minimal problems for patients. Good luck!
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary I realized I didn’t ask - did you stop doing for a reason? And why is this mesh ok and the old mesh is not?
@@kathleengallo3180 mesh was removed from the market only due to lack of superiority over 2-3 years. I still have patients with mesh now 18 years out from their surgery still doing well. Vaginal placed mesh was removed from the market in 2019.
Abdominal placed mesh for sacral colpopexy or suspension of the vagina to the tailbone ligament is still considered to be the greatest success rates but is more invasive than just a vaginal surgical procedure. I have great success with vaginal minimally invasive repair.
