    I am beyond angry! After seeing a gerontologist (I'm 71) & a urologist for debilitating back pain & numerous UTI's, NO ONE ever mentioned; asked; or did an exam for pelvic organ prolapse. Why aren't women educated about this prevalent horrifying issue! This borders on negligent abuse of women by the medical community!

    I have been searching and reading comments from female gynecologists and patients for more than two hours. It took a man with a sock (No offense, because I know you're much more than that.) to explain Uterine Prolapse so that I can understand. Now, I can make a medical appointment and have some knowledge of what's going on with me. Thank you Dr. C.

    This was extremely helpful and I wish doctors would speak to women about this. I believe I could have 💯% healed this issue before it became the issue now. I had two vaginal births back to back, (July 21 + Oct 22) and severe pelvic pain my second pregnancy to the point I could barely walk. And complained to my OB and asked to be sent to a pelvic floor therapist. Neither of them stressed the importance of doing exercises and that it could lead to this. It’s very upsetting bc I believe this could have been prevented and caught if we had better postpartum care. Postpartum care looking for this issue and teaching women how to prevent it and repair their muscles after pregnancy. Thank you for this video! And it encourages me to share this video!

    It would be helpful to see the exercises. I’m super fit. And still have a prolapse. I workout mindfully. I did levels at every stop light for no less than ten years. I have gained ten pounds in perimenopause. But I’m not over weight. Two years ago I decided I wanted to gain more muscle to support myself through my menopause journey. That made my prolapse worse. Since then I have been training on a product my husband created called The Answer. My prolapse is better. Be careful how you exercise ladies. All my workouts are centered around core strength. I wish I would have had The Answer after I had
    my babies.

    What an ingenious way to demonstrate what's happening it the prolapse scenario, I never could quite grasp want was happening with it. But I have done Kegel exercises my whole life and when I was younger, I thought I was doing them to tighten my vagina after childbirth, little did I know it would help with this. I don't care so much about a tight vagina anymore but I do care about a tight pelvis wall.

Once I realized where he was coming from, I thanked him and said, "Goodbye" - instinctively I also feel my prolapse is a fitness issue and will pursue seeing a DPT for long term results. Thanks very much for your explanations!

    This video was extremely informative about this women's health issue. I had no idea that it can take years for prolapse to develop. I am 45, and I had 3 unmedicated childbirths and had a bit of "strengthening" of pelvic floor muscles in the post-partum recovery of my third to feel everything return to a normal. In reflection it around 9-12 months of daily kegel exercises. Everything felt fine and normal until 10 years later I experienced a debilitating stroke during which I experienced hemi-paresis of my right side. The lack of muscle sensation and muscle tone caused the vaginal prolapse to return, only more severe than before. Knowing that one should be mindful of exercising the pelvic floor muscles after the stroke should be incorporated into the physiotherapy treatment/recovery. It is a very difficult and embaressing topic to bring up to others. Thank you for this information, and I will share this info with others!

    To correct your statement, the correct fact is that about 30% of patients who have prolapse or incontinence surgery have another urogynaecological surgical procedure later in life (Olsen 1996). This is usually not a repeat procedure, but is a different urogynaecological procedure, not a failure of the original surgery. Recurrence of the same problem occurs in about 5% only, so 95% do not have the same procedure again (recurrence).

    • @drc4626
      @drc4626  3 года назад +3

      Thank you Dr Smith for watching this video! I appreciate your feed back. There are indeed procedures with low (5%) failure rates; mesh sacral-colpopexy comes to mind. Repairs accomplished vaginally do not seem to be so durable. One study that reflects this is the multi-center extended study published in JAMA in 2018 (JAMA. 2018;319(15):1554-1565. doi:10.1001/jama.2018.2827). What is interesting is that, despite surgical failure as they defined it, most patients still reported improved symptoms compared to preoperative baseline.

    Episiotomy procedure cuts the very muscles that layer cause prolapse. I was told that due to improper stitching after an Episiotomy my muscles no longer worked right if at all. I wish they could please please please figure out real fix for this.

    Thank you for this informative video. I was told eighteen years ago that I had prolapse, but it didn't really start affecting me until 3 years ago, at the age of 50. it's to a point where it is actually protruding that I will just have to use a belt, which is a life saver at work, until I have insurance will pay for surgery. I always thought that it was the uterus protruding out, instead of the vagina...
