Understanding your pelvic floor and its role in supporting your pelvic organs is key. Avoiding heavy lifting, high-impact exercises, and managing chronic constipation are crucial steps in managing prolapse.
By making these adjustments and seeking guidance from a pelvic floor therapist, you can take control of your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Don't let prolapse dictate your life; start making these changes today for a healthier tomorrow.

Well I have bladder, cervix and uterus prolapse as well as stage 1 rectocele. I which I had known this a long time ago, but doctors never talked about this until my bladder had fallen. Also have low back pain caused by a bulging disc maybe exacerbated by pelvic issues. I've done pelvic help therapy and currently wearing a pressary. Thoughts please.
