I've had 8 children, all singletons, all vaginally, in 9 years and have a mild grade 1-2 prolapse. I'm going to get better. If I'm strong enough to have them then I'm strong enough to get stronger everyday. Thank you Dr. Bri for all of the encouraging (and free) resources from your head and heart.
@@hayleyferguson5284 so grateful to see beautiful comments like these from mamas. What a wonderful image of God you're showing them. Thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you for this! I love this! I’ve just started my journey with prolapse & it’s so true words are so powerful…. Here’s my new voice “ I am not broken. I am just in the process of healing and I will heal with time” ❤
Yes words have power. " i can heal my body with less stress in my life, keegals, diet and meditation". Anything is possible if I put my mind to it. Thanks for all your videos femfusion
I'm so glad you're here with me, Julie! You've got a great attitude and mindset, keep it up -- it's not only helping you, but I'm sure it's helping everyone around you too. A beautiful ripple effect!
Oh my goodness!!! I NEEDED this video sooo bad. Im up at almost 3 a.m. doing exaclty this! Freaking myself out, checking every 5 minutes, crying, and sooo much negative talk. I cant tell you how much this eased my mind. Its crazy how one video and the comments of everyone else made me feel empowered and like everything is going to be okay. Thank you soo much!!!!!!
I have only just realized that I have a prolapse. My cervix is hanging out of my vagina, I am 90% sure that my rectum has fallen inward, and my bladder & urethra have been tilted for years leading to a narrowing. (Don’t worry I am going to the doctor in a couple of days.) This isn’t negative talk, it is just what is happening. I don’t judge it really. I am disappointed that being a strong independent women, who has alway done my own lifting, and heavy work, has actually broken me, (and it is a point of fact that I am broken). I am frustrated that my life needs to change, but I just don’t think it is negative talk to say that my entire pelvic floor is collapsing. It just is what it is. This is just the latest thing that is happening with this meat suit. Just like my beautiful stretch marks that formed to support new life, and my sexy knee replacement scars that brought me relief beyond measure, or the scars on my face from a car accident when I was 16. It is all just the tapestry of the story of this life.
Your perspective on your body's journey is absolutely beautiful and inspiring - thank you for sharing your story with such honesty and grace! ~ Vibrant Support
The older a Lady gets, the less the Medicals care about, healing, health or help. The attitude is very much 'you have to expect that at your age!' - why do I! I've tried many avenues seeking the help needed. If I could give you a medal for the work you have put forward, in the form of video on your site, I would. Your knowledge is wonderful and your healing words, so good, this is just a 'Thank you' to you.👏
Don't be scared.. just go to a good gyn.. and consult a pelvic physical threapist.. Do research too.. Don't let just any gyn do what they want.. you should be fine..
I needed to hear this! Great advice. I know I’m stressed and checking all day every day. I’m definitely changing my story and will continue with your lift program. I WILL get better…over time!!!
YES YOU WILL, Angela!!! Overly checking and negative self-talk are both super common, but together we can change this. It starts with you. You've got this! I believe in you! Keep living your lifted lifestyle and keep your eyes on the light.
Oh gosh, my doc is the nicest most helpful person and can install a pessary without your scarcely even feeling it, but....he also said the exercises are of little benefit unless for incontinence.
This was me when I first discovered I had prolapse. I would always be checking with a mirror and be scared what I would see. I would say what change things for me was, I started practicing self love and acknowledge what my body does for me on a daily basis. Trust me this will shift your mindset and empowered and you will do better. Thank you Dr Bri 💕
When I notice the change in my vagina I was scared at first scared because it felt really uncomfortable then I went to the clinic and the sister told me I have a pelvic prolasp I did not know what it was then so showed me a pic and explain I came home and look it up on U Tube I try doing the exercises to help myself now I have an appointment at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town on the 5 /6 2024 i was still sexually active but become very shy and concince about it
I had one! No one talks about it! Seems more common than I thought. My started 2005. 2024, went to OBGYN and had it put back in place. Wish I had it done long time ago! Life is so much better!! Things are back to normal! Exercises not going to cure it! I'm so much happier!
Yes, words make chemicals in the brain that trigger well worn pathways (if said/thought over and over), and create a stress response which makes us sick. Also what we dwell on literally becomes bigger. The areas of our brain that we light up by thought grow and dictate our experience in life. It all starts with the brain. :) Good message!! Thank you Bri!!
This positivity and your kind words are exactly what I need right now. I’m two weeks postpartum and have felt a “bulge” that has me really frightened since the outcomes are so negative online.
@@nicolerivas6853 Mine ended up a very mild cystocele that I don't even notice anymore! The "buldge" was just so much tension I was holding. It has been tough to learn how to truly relax, but that's something that I had to go see a PT to check (would highly recommend!). The recovery with my daughter was long, but now I'm hiking again, horseback riding again, and don't have any more pelvic floor pain. If I could go back and tell myself anything, it would be this: stop researching, give your body the time and grace it deserves (do less! - so hard for me), go get checked by a pelvic floor physio when you're at 6 weeks, but before that, put it out of your mind. It was hard for me with a 3 year old in the mix and the days feel so, so long, but it really does pass.
I Just found out yesterday I have a minor bladder and rectum prolapse. I'm only 47 and June 2nd will only be 1 year after my full hysterectomy! I cried so much yesterday. I'm still sad and in fear today. I will be watching more of your videos to gain more confidence and knowledge. obgyn will be giving me a refferal to a pelvic floor therapy specialist soon. God willing they are very good and it helps me. thank you so so so much for all the free information you give out on RUclips. Times are tough and I greatly appreciate all the free information on here. What's weird is I don't have pee accidents at all. It's VERY rare if anything were to come out from laughing or sneezing....I would have thought I would have that struggle. Thankful to God I don't! but in fear of the future. But I will give to God. Thank you so much again and again
No matter your age or stage, it's always helpful how to learn how to live a lifestyle that's as safe as possible for your pelvic floor. This guide has info and tips about prolapse that may help you: bit.ly/prolapseguide Best wishes!
Thank you Dr. Bri for your words of encouragement! I know there is hope not only for me but every single woman out there who feels like it is just them suffering alone. It sucks but I am choosing to overcome this and not let it bring me down.
Wonderful advise I have been dealing with pelvic pain for 6 years and have to admit I have said many time over the years “my vagina is broken” 🤦🏻♀️. I felt broken as no doctors could give me answers. I will take your great advise as I continue this journey of NO pain.
Thank you so much for this video. My children are grown and my husband and I have been like newlyweds since our youngest left the house. Then I discovered that something was wrong with me. I felt broken and that I was letting my husband down. Now I feel I can go back to feeling like I am 20 years old again and can go on enjoying dates with my husband without the worry that I am going down, down, down!
Woww , i Am a Men , And i am not going thru this But my Wife😔 is only 30 years old and she does have it and i no its not easy for her . I just watch the video completly ,and i will share this whith her , i no this will help her a lot Thank you Thank you 👋 I hope all the Womens out there get better 🙏
You're very welcome! It's wonderful that you're being supportive and looking out for your wife's well-being. Sharing this information with her can definitely be helpful, and I hope it brings her some relief and comfort. Wishing your wife all the best in her journey to better pelvic health!
Dr. Bri, you are God's gift to women. You hear about all physical exercises, but you, you know the REAL truth, do exercises mentally with words of self love and ban all negative thoughts. I can't tell you how blessed I feel listening to your video. Because of some inward miracle a thought came to do this and here you come to me CONFIRMING what I heard inwardly, relax, breathe, lighten up, and it does relieve even physical pressure. THANK YOU THANK YOU. ❤ 🙏 GOD BLESS YOU FOR EMPOWERING WOMEN. TOO MANY DOCTORS DO NOT DO THIS.
Wow, your words are amazing! All of the things you mentioned not to do or say, are things I do and say daily! I’m so happy I accidentally found your page. Thank you!
I’m only 30 😢 I have had 3 babies in 4 years and because of checking my prolapse, I just recently found a growth on my cervix. I go to the OB next week to get checked.
Wonderful advice which I’m really trying to follow. I had been feeling very low following my hysterectomy and the prolapse which followed. I’m now getting help from an amazing PF Physiotherapist and she’s turned my life around. I’m in control, my prolapse is improving and I feel like my old self again 😊
Sorry to hear that. Please know that there is hope for healing. Check Dr. Bri's resources and find a local pelvic floor PT for support ! ~Vibrant Support
Thankyou for this. I was checking every time I went to the loo first with a mirror then by examination and fingers - I am going to stop this today. Thankyou xx
Thank goodness for you,I feel better for just listening to you ,I am going to watch your video again , and try to do things that will help me , I feel more optimistic now
I've listened from India. Thanks a million for the uplifting talk. Yes I am going to overcome this and lead a normal and even better life. I Believe this.
I'm an occupational therapy student and I have a client who has severe pelvic pain and a prolapsed bladder. Any kind of bending or sitting is really painful for her. I'm a little bit stumped on how to best help her but your videos are a huge help, thank you!! (and I will definitely be recommending a pelvic floor specialist!)
My Lift program can help! Your client can get the first week for free bit.ly/liftforfree You might also want to check my free beginner's guide to prolapse. Lots of good info bit.ly/prolapseguide
@@vibrantpelvichealth - Do you have a program for women who have had a hysterectomy? Specifically researched for those who no longer have the rubber band uterus. I do follow an organization as to prolapses ... designed by a nurse (who has a prolapse) in the UK; however her program is for child-bearing women, who have not had a hysterectomy.
My programs are not specifically designed for those who've had a hysterectomy, although the information offered in Lift is certainly helpful for post-hysterectomy recovery and pelvic health maintenance! @@susagor
@@vibrantpelvichealth - Perhaps when you are not busy -- you might want to look into this situation -- so many women who have had a hysterectomy are really lost ... as there is very little information about this situation. The feeling of being whole and informed is even worse and if you've not born children that is less. The group I found and follow ... those with hysterectomies are practically frowned on ... in that condition, you are "less of a woman". [Whole Woman Forum]
Hi Dr. thank you for the info. Just got diagnosed with bladder prolapse. I've been watching all your videos reg the topic. Continue to inspire all women out there. More power to your vlog.
I appreciate your uplifting words very much. I was diagnosed a month ago but I believe I've had this prolapse for a few months now but I do truly believe you when you say we can heal ourselves and all within our power. I saw my obgyn today and she didn't see much in the way of any prolapse. Granted this was early in the morning and after I had done some of your techniques but she is not concerned. Her disposition along with your video have really given me renewed stamina to keep going. I'm happy that it's not effecting my life as it did a month ago. Time heals. Thank you for sharing so much information! You've made this all manageable for me.
Thank you for the advice! I just had a full hysterectomy and and I had a sneeze attack. I was so worried because I have mild grade prolapse. The first thing I did was go online after I checked myself. I can't see anything since it's mild grade but I was feeling pain down there. Thank you for the reassurance, and I'm definitely changing my attitude.
I have prolapse for the last 6 years and have managed it. Last week i did high intensity sessions stupidly and now i cant poop normally and feel like my yrine is being retained. Its just something i don't need now😢
That's so frustrating! I'm sorry that happened, although please know that ups and downs are natural on the prolapse journey... You can feel better again. I recommend reading my prolapse guide for more info and tools bit.ly/prolapseguide and also, consider spending time with your hips up in the "3 minute miracle" position today: ruclips.net/video/bvEbMkOgUHA/видео.html
Thank-you for this video, I do all these things all day, every day! I check constantly and feel really afraid. I feel broken and disgusted by my situation. I also feel lonely and sad and this leads to me feeling low and then rushing through my day trying to ignore how I am feeling or purely because I worry that at some point during the day it will all get too much for me. I have always been a very active person, I have four grown children and now rescue animals inc. dogs and horses so I have a lot of physical work that I have to do every day and if I don't do it I have no idea what I will do, my animal family rely on me. I will start implementing your advice which I will find difficult at first I am sure but I will persevere as I know you are right. I am also trying to make time to do some of your exercise videos each week. Thank-you so much for being such a lovely positive person and giving us all hope. Much love 🧡
I understand! 2 grown up kids, working at a winery and finding myself looking forward to the end of the and a glass of wine. Went to a PT in my home town. Pessary or surgery is the only option.. Kegals don't work they said ...enough.. I am taking control. Off to a new PT who will look at me and my mechanics. Move forward you and me Lady! 🤗
Thank you for the hope you have brought in this video it means so much to see someone out there understand and care. I feel so alone like no one knows what I’m going through. People are constantly saying to me just get surgery 😢
I don’t have prolapse but what I used to have, as we all do, is a negative attitude to my body! I now stand in front of my mirror with clothes off and I thank all of my body for the wonderful and incredible work it has done for my life. I zero in on the areas I once criticized. I thank God that I am wonderfully made. This isn’t ego or pride. This is gratitude! Try it.
@@rosi4097 Oh, as I stated in my original comment, I did not have a prolapse. I do follow the exercises here though and I feel so relaxed after. This is something we all should do even without a prolapse. The correct exercise can help prevent it I believe. I hope I’ve encouraged you. I wanted to.
I used to check constantly early pp 😩 I think it was part of my grieving process and eventually I stopped which was a big deal as I have OCD but I knew it was messing with my head badly. I’ve also been guilty of shaming my vagina lol but now thanks to you de bri I managed to get my pelvic floor strong, it’s prolapsed still but it’s so strong, stronger than before having my son! Xxx
I so needed this. I am having a hard time coping. I have obstructed defecation and cystocele, rectocele. I got so anxious I was clenching all the time.
I actually do have a new story When I was first diagnosed with a bladder prolapse I was constantly looking with the mirror At my prolapse. I don't do that anymore And I'm in a much better place mentally and physically. 😊
I can ignore the prolapse I just can’t ignore the constant feeling of having to urinate. It is truly interfering with my life. I was even put on antibiotics because I thought I had a UTI but the feeling is still there constantly.
hey I'm 25 and never had children and I'm unmarried.A few months back when I'm doing household chores,i felt something falling of in my vagina and then I discovered some bulge in my vagina. what should I do now.. Im not even married.. I'm too anxious to go to the doctor and I feel like my life has came to an end.. even if the doc suggests me anything, didn't it effect my married life in my future.. now I'm too scared to get married too. can I get it reversed completely.. please help me 😢😢
Hi there, I am so sorry you are feeling anxious about this new situation. First, I highly recommend visiting a local pelvic floor PT, if possible. They can provide an official diagnosis, and offer individualized advice. In the meantime, I invite you to explore my beginner's guide to prolapse bit.ly/prolapseguide You can also check my Lift program for prolapse relief; it has helped many women in my community. bit.ly/liftforfree I hope it helps you as well!
I hear you - that feeling can be unsettling. Remember, our bodies are resilient. With gentle care and the right approach, many find relief from that "falling out" sensation. ~ Vibrant Support
I am 75 and I was terrified had total prolapse I mean everything fell out not just the uterus Doctor told me I had to have surgery I was watching your channel and learned about pessaries then I said no I can't have surgery I've had a heart attack I have all kinds of health issues kidneys I can't go through surgery at 75 was given a pessary kept that for a long time didn't like it got another one and now I'm fine they can hook a cord to it and you can pull it out yourself and clean it and put it back yourself and you can take it out and leave it out for days and I'm 75 and scared of everything I'm scared to even take it out and clean it do not worry if I can go through this at 75 plus I have severe ulcerated colitis been hospitalized several times have to take the pessary out when that's happening but then clean it and put it back in even if you have it severe at 75 you will be fine please trust me Dr bri has helped so many people and she definitely helped me if she hadn't talked about her channel which I found was the only one and she started talking about pessaries I had no idea what they were God bless you Dr Brie Thank you so much for your help to all of us especially to me I could not have undergone surgery in my health God bless❤
Thank You.... (what a mess, in the back of the mind like a pot sticker) but now since your program of recovery I see things as excellent help/training (core especially) so now life has become different for me, life is good. :)
BEAUTIFUL!!! Life is good, what a wonderful statement to play in the back of your mind... A new kind of broken record (a positive/helpful broken record, this time)... So glad you're here with me! Change your thoughts, change your story, change your life.
Hi Bri, thanks for this advice, I know it is right, although I too am at the "check constantly" phase. This inspires me to reduce that. I have a question on the programme please - is Lift good for rectocele too or more for cystocele and uterine prolapse? Also is it good for someone who has a rather too weak pelvic floor post-birth, instead of very tense? I know the programme is based a lot on releasing, relaxing and stretching the pelvic floor so I am not sure if that's appropriate for me who needs to tone it more (I know you have to relax before you can strengthen though!). Thank you!
I've had crohns for years now. While most Dr's like to say constipation is a risk, so it going to the bathroom over 10 times a day. My pelvic floor strength is almost not there. I went to the er because I looked down at my vagina and there was a small ball flesh sticking out, I freaked. I guess it was mild because the Dr said they couldn't tell, but I've had to push it back in a few times now when I've noticed. When you have a lot of anus issues and now vaginal, it's so hard not to internally freak out. I told people that my vagina just wanted to visit the outside. 😅
I am glad to a see that you find a reason to laugh in every situation :) This is such a beautiful mindset ! I recommend seeing a pelvic floor PT for a diagnosis and for individualized guidance. You can strengthen your pelvic floor through gentle workouts
Thanks dear, who has the time to constantly look at their snatch in the mirror all day long? PESSARY or surgery? I choose Pessary although the doctor prefers operating because that’s the money train.
Wow you are really the whole package. Mind, body and spirit. Thank you. The thoughts I have sometimes are horrible. And the fear. You give me hope. I want to cry for a good reason!
You’re words are very helpful. I have a habit of negative self talk in many aspects about myself, my prolapse and especially body changes from pregnancy/childbirth even though my kids are older.
I will try this technique I just had a baby last week and it scared the hell outta me I discovered it late last night while I was in the shower and it has made me super depressed 😔 and I'm trying to keep my mind positive it sucks and it had to happen right around the holidays out of all days but I will try this method and see if it helps me
Sending you a big hug. Please make sure to check a pelvic floor PT for one-on-one support. In the meantime, you can check my Lift program for prolapse relief. You might want to wait for your provider to give you the green light for exercising. I have so many mind and lifestyle tips in the program that you can start implementing. Also, you can grab the first week for free bit.ly/liftforfree I wish you the best in your journey and I remain here if you need me!
Hurray, finally a positive comment because in the past I'm sure so many mothers suffered prolapses( imagine Victorians with 12 kids ..) I'm grateful we csn buy liners, go out smile feel proud you made babies ...and get a life, you're NOT BROKEN.... you made a baby ❤🎉👍remember life's too short, go look at yourself, feel proud, and be beautiful!!!!

It can help strengthen your pelvic floor and reduce some of your symptoms. However, there is no guarantee it will reverse your prolapse. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
I get that. You will feel better. If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to visit a pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. My beginner's guide to prolapse is also a good resource to check bit.ly/prolapseguide
Rectal prolapse during pregnancy is relatively uncommon. However, pregnancy and childbirth can contribute to changes in pelvic floor muscles and tissues, potentially increasing the risk of issues like prolapse. Whether rectal prolapse requires surgery or can heal on its own depends on various factors, including the severity of the prolapse, the impact on daily life, and individual health considerations. Mild cases might be managed with conservative measures, such as pelvic floor exercises, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications. More severe cases may require surgical intervention. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice based on your specific situation. They can provide guidance on appropriate treatments and help you make informed decisions about your health. ~ Vibrant Support
Thank you for this video, I just used the mirror for the first time before watching this video and it did cause anxiety worry etc So thank you for helping me refocus in a detailed way what action to take for solution oriented 🙄❤️💐
You're so very welcome!!! Yes, it's so common (and so easy!) to become hyper-focused and even "fixated" on checking with mirrors again and again and again... While it's important to be aware of your condition and to do what you can to help yourself, it's much more effective to refocus your attention on looking ahead, having hope, and feeling gratitude for what's working in your life (rather than *ONLY* worrying about your prolapse). You are so much more than your pelvic floor. Thanks for hearing my message as a positive reframe! You might like my detailed prolapse guide: bit.ly/prolapseguide
I have had this since 2014, almost 10 years. I often have to push it up, but finally decided to have surgery early next winter. I do speak of it to educate other women and it is common. The Pessery kept slipping and had to go to the Dr to make it right ($25 copay). I still bike, but not so much walking as I have t pee often. I have learned to live with it. The excercises I couldn't do, I just never seem to squeeze the right muscles.
I went to the doctor last year and told the doctor i have a prolapse he gone tell me I don’t and I see it smh I hate being lied too as a black woman in the health industry I could of been doing exercises to fix it smh 🤦🏾♀️
I'm sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with your doctor. It's important to advocate for your own health and seek a second opinion if you believe something is wrong. Pelvic floor exercises, like those mentioned earlier, can often be beneficial for managing or improving certain types of prolapse. If you believe you have a prolapse, it might be a good idea to consult with a pelvic floor PT or another healthcare provider who can provide a thorough evaluation and recommend appropriate treatments or exercises based on your specific condition. Your health and well-being are important, so don't hesitate to seek the care you need. ~ Vibrant Support
While surgery is sometimes recommended, many find relief through non-invasive methods like pelvic floor exercises - always discuss all options with your healthcare provider. ~ Vibrant Support
If you're experiencing difficulty passing stool, try gently changing your position on the toilet, using a Squatty Potty or stool to elevate your feet, taking deep breaths to relax your pelvic floor, and if needed, consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice. ~Vibrant Support

My dr said pelvic floor exercises wouldn’t help me but yours have ❤️
Oh gosh, my doc is the nicest most helpful person and can install a pessary without your scarcely even feeling it, but....he also said the exercises are of little benefit unless for incontinence.
For me, Kegels made my condition worse. I was stress incontinence but after a few days of Kegel exercise, I felt leaks most of the time.
This was me when I first discovered I had prolapse. I would always be checking with a mirror and be scared what I would see. I would say what change things for me was, I started practicing self love and acknowledge what my body does for me on a daily basis. Trust me this will shift your mindset and empowered and you will do better. Thank you Dr Bri 💕
Yes I agree
When I notice the change in my vagina I was scared at first scared because it felt really uncomfortable then I went to the clinic and the sister told me I have a pelvic prolasp I did not know what it was then so showed me a pic and explain I came home and look it up on U Tube I try doing the exercises to help myself now I have an appointment at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town on the 5 /6 2024 i was still sexually active but become very shy and concince about it
Have u still got prolapse
I had one! No one talks about it! Seems more common than I thought. My started 2005. 2024, went to OBGYN and had it put back in place. Wish I had it done long time ago! Life is so much better!! Things are back to normal! Exercises not going to cure it! I'm so much happier!
Yes, words make chemicals in the brain that trigger well worn pathways (if said/thought over and over), and create a stress response which makes us sick. Also what we dwell on literally becomes bigger. The areas of our brain that we light up by thought grow and dictate our experience in life. It all starts with the brain. :) Good message!! Thank you Bri!!
Wow 🤯 thank you so much I needed to hear this!
Love this! I’ve said this soooo many times to patients. Change your thoughts, change your outcomes.
YES! I love it: change your thoughts, change your outcomes... Change your life!
Thank you for such a motivating word .
Everything can be reversed with small steps rather than trying to take a large step and stopping it on the way
You are literally a beautiful human being inside and out. peace and light
Thank you !!!!
This positivity and your kind words are exactly what I need right now. I’m two weeks postpartum and have felt a “bulge” that has me really frightened since the outcomes are so negative online.
Hi has it recovered? I'm now in the same boat
@@nicolerivas6853 Mine ended up a very mild cystocele that I don't even notice anymore! The "buldge" was just so much tension I was holding. It has been tough to learn how to truly relax, but that's something that I had to go see a PT to check (would highly recommend!). The recovery with my daughter was long, but now I'm hiking again, horseback riding again, and don't have any more pelvic floor pain. If I could go back and tell myself anything, it would be this: stop researching, give your body the time and grace it deserves (do less! - so hard for me), go get checked by a pelvic floor physio when you're at 6 weeks, but before that, put it out of your mind. It was hard for me with a 3 year old in the mix and the days feel so, so long, but it really does pass.
Thank u I will do the same..
I Just found out yesterday I have a minor bladder and rectum prolapse. I'm only 47 and June 2nd will only be 1 year after my full hysterectomy! I cried so much yesterday. I'm still sad and in fear today. I will be watching more of your videos to gain more confidence and knowledge. obgyn will be giving me a refferal to a pelvic floor therapy specialist soon. God willing they are very good and it helps me. thank you so so so much for all the free information you give out on RUclips. Times are tough and I greatly appreciate all the free information on here.
What's weird is I don't have pee accidents at all. It's VERY rare if anything were to come out from laughing or sneezing....I would have thought I would have that struggle. Thankful to God I don't! but in fear of the future. But I will give to God. Thank you so much again and again
You are so welcome ! I’m glad my content is helpful and hope you get the support you need from your pelvic floor PT 🙏❤️
Why couldn't't they hike it up during your op.?!
@@WillChil466 maybe I didn’t have it then?
Im 71. 4 children. Nothing has helped. Surgery success rate is very low and complications are high. This is very 😢
No matter your age or stage, it's always helpful how to learn how to live a lifestyle that's as safe as possible for your pelvic floor. This guide has info and tips about prolapse that may help you: bit.ly/prolapseguide Best wishes!
Dr. Bri, I'm trying. I'm trying to stop saying the negatives. I am borrowing your faith. I'm trying. I believe I can get better.
Yes, you can !!
Thank you Dr. Bri for your words of encouragement! I know there is hope not only for me but every single woman out there who feels like it is just them suffering alone. It sucks but I am choosing to overcome this and not let it bring me down.
So glad you are choosing to focus on hope and healing !!!! Wishing you the best of luck in your journey!
Thank you. Your whole system is fabulous. You can definitely reverse symptoms with your exercises.
I am going to write my story and journal about it. I will heal myself!
Wonderful advise I have been dealing with pelvic pain for 6 years and have to admit I have said many time over the years “my vagina is broken” 🤦🏻♀️. I felt broken as no doctors could give me answers. I will take your great advise as I continue this journey of NO pain.
You are on the right path! I am sorry that you have felt this way and not supported by doctors! Hugs to you!
Thanks I needed the cross out that negative story. That alone is a way for me to say in my mind “I’m going to find a better way, a happier way”
You got this!
U didn't know how much all your words helps dr.
Thank you so much. I hope you always got ur way till the time stopped.
You are so welcome !!
What a wonderful caring Dr
May God continue protecting you and your family
Thank you so much!
You are something else....thank you so much for your work and your wisdom
Thank you so much for this video. My children are grown and my husband and I have been like newlyweds since our youngest left the house. Then I discovered that something was wrong with me. I felt broken and that I was letting my husband down. Now I feel I can go back to feeling like I am 20 years old again and can go on enjoying dates with my husband without the worry that I am going down, down, down!
Sending you a hug! You are so brave !
Thank you! You are the brave one for sharing about this. It has been very very helpful to me! @@vibrantpelvichealth

@@vibrantpelvichealth Thank you for your words ,God bless you🙏👋
Dr. Bri, you are God's gift to women. You hear about all physical exercises, but you, you know the REAL truth, do exercises mentally with words of self love and ban all negative thoughts. I can't tell you how blessed I feel listening to your video. Because of some inward miracle a thought came to do this and here you come to me CONFIRMING what I heard inwardly, relax, breathe, lighten up, and it does relieve even physical pressure. THANK YOU THANK YOU. ❤ 🙏
GOD BLESS YOU FOR EMPOWERING WOMEN. TOO MANY DOCTORS DO NOT DO THIS.
Thank you for your sweet words !!
Wow, your words are amazing! All of the things you mentioned not to do or say, are things I do and say daily! I’m so happy I accidentally found your page. Thank you!
Welcome to my page! I am so glad my words resonate with you !!
I’m only 30 😢 I have had 3 babies in 4 years and because of checking my prolapse, I just recently found a growth on my cervix. I go to the OB next week to get checked.
We hope everything goes well with your appointment. ~Vibrant Support
Wonderful advice which I’m really trying to follow. I had been feeling very low following my hysterectomy and the prolapse which followed. I’m now getting help from an amazing PF Physiotherapist and she’s turned my life around. I’m in control, my prolapse is improving and I feel like my old self again 😊
Thank you!!! Also, your speaking voice is so lovely I can hear a heavenly singing voice in there
So nice of you!
You such a sweet heart,im crying ball out,im 35 my son turn 3 years old and single mom .this is like nightmare,crying everyday
Sorry to hear that. Please know that there is hope for healing. Check Dr. Bri's resources and find a local pelvic floor PT for support ! ~Vibrant Support
Thankyou for this. I was checking every time I went to the loo first with a mirror then by examination and fingers - I am going to stop this today. Thankyou xx
Literally just said this to my therapist today, so def needed to hear that!💗
I was doing and saying both of these, I completely shit down and went into isolation. Thanks so much for the wake up call
Great message
Consume only positivity✨
There is always hope.
Very unrealistic and not mentally healthy...You need a balance of both negativity and positivity..
Thank goodness for you,I feel better for just listening to you ,I am going to watch your video again , and try to do things that will help me , I feel more optimistic now
Thank you for watching !! I am happy to hear that you are choosing to focus on healing !
Thank you for the kind words. I can and will get better.
Yes, you can and you will get better !!
You are wonderful Dr.Bri.Thank you for all the great teaching videos you have given us from the goodness of your ❤️ heart.
You are so welcome ❤️
I've listened from India. Thanks a million for the uplifting talk. Yes I am going to overcome this and lead a normal and even better life. I Believe this.
You’ve got this !!
Thank you, I always say 'my body's falling apart'! I know this is so negative I better stop saying this!
It will change everything when you change your wording! ❤️
Thank you, I will stop the constant checking.
You saved my life.. God bless you🙏
Happy to help!
I'm an occupational therapy student and I have a client who has severe pelvic pain and a prolapsed bladder. Any kind of bending or sitting is really painful for her. I'm a little bit stumped on how to best help her but your videos are a huge help, thank you!! (and I will definitely be recommending a pelvic floor specialist!)
My Lift program can help! Your client can get the first week for free bit.ly/liftforfree You might also want to check my free beginner's guide to prolapse. Lots of good info bit.ly/prolapseguide
Thank you! ❤
@@vibrantpelvichealth - Do you have a program for women who have had a hysterectomy? Specifically researched for those who no longer have the rubber band uterus. I do follow an organization as to prolapses ... designed by a nurse (who has a prolapse) in the UK; however her program is for child-bearing women, who have not had a hysterectomy.
My programs are not specifically designed for those who've had a hysterectomy, although the information offered in Lift is certainly helpful for post-hysterectomy recovery and pelvic health maintenance! @@susagor
@@vibrantpelvichealth - Perhaps when you are not busy -- you might want to look into this situation -- so many women who have had a hysterectomy are really lost ... as there is very little information about this situation. The feeling of being whole and informed is even worse and if you've not born children that is less. The group I found and follow ... those with hysterectomies are practically frowned on ... in that condition, you are "less of a woman". [Whole Woman Forum]
I love each of yr videos. Simply so interesting, professional n warm.
Thanks so much 😊
Hi Dr. thank you for the info. Just got diagnosed with bladder prolapse. I've been watching all your videos reg the topic. Continue to inspire all women out there. More power to your vlog.
Thank you for watching ! Don’t hesitate to check my website for additional prolapse-related. content.
Yes Dr. words are powerful! Well said! Thank you I am experiencing prolapse right now but I'm going to try the exercises. God bless you!💖💯🕊🙏
You got this!
@@vibrantpelvichealth oh yes I do!🙏💯🖒
I'm also experience it right now .just one day after I turned 65 years old I'm gna trust GOD that it will gt better.and keep me calm 🙏🙏
I appreciate your uplifting words very much. I was diagnosed a month ago but I believe I've had this prolapse for a few months now but I do truly believe you when you say we can heal ourselves and all within our power. I saw my obgyn today and she didn't see much in the way of any prolapse. Granted this was early in the morning and after I had done some of your techniques but she is not concerned. Her disposition along with your video have really given me renewed stamina to keep going. I'm happy that it's not effecting my life as it did a month ago. Time heals. Thank you for sharing so much information! You've made this all manageable for me.
Thank you for sharing your story ! I am glad you feel supported in your healing journey :)
Thank you for the advice! I just had a full hysterectomy and and I had a sneeze attack. I was so worried because I have mild grade prolapse. The first thing I did was go online after I checked myself. I can't see anything since it's mild grade but I was feeling pain down there. Thank you for the reassurance, and I'm definitely changing my attitude.
I'm glad the advice helped - take it easy and remember healing takes time after surgery. Stay positive!
I have prolapse for the last 6 years and have managed it. Last week i did high intensity sessions stupidly and now i cant poop normally and feel like my yrine is being retained. Its just something i don't need now😢
That's so frustrating! I'm sorry that happened, although please know that ups and downs are natural on the prolapse journey... You can feel better again. I recommend reading my prolapse guide for more info and tools bit.ly/prolapseguide and also, consider spending time with your hips up in the "3 minute miracle" position today: ruclips.net/video/bvEbMkOgUHA/видео.html
you can apply this to anything in your life!!
Absolutely! So true!!! You might also like this video: ruclips.net/video/R4wLplu4E7I/видео.html
Thank-you for this video, I do all these things all day, every day! I check constantly and feel really afraid. I feel broken and disgusted by my situation. I also feel lonely and sad and this leads to me feeling low and then rushing through my day trying to ignore how I am feeling or purely because I worry that at some point during the day it will all get too much for me.
I have always been a very active person, I have four grown children and now rescue animals inc. dogs and horses so I have a lot of physical work that I have to do every day and if I don't do it I have no idea what I will do, my animal family rely on me.
I will start implementing your advice which I will find difficult at first I am sure but I will persevere as I know you are right. I am also trying to make time to do some of your exercise videos each week.
Thank-you so much for being such a lovely positive person and giving us all hope.
Much love 🧡
I understand! 2 grown up kids, working at a winery and finding myself looking forward to the end of the and a glass of wine. Went to a PT in my home town. Pessary or surgery is the only option.. Kegals don't work they said ...enough.. I am taking control. Off to a new PT who will look at me and my mechanics. Move forward you and me Lady! 🤗
@@cpellkof Thank-you Christine, wishing you all the best. Sending love and strength ❤
Thank you for the hope you have brought in this video it means so much to see someone out there understand and care. I feel so alone like no one knows what I’m going through. People are constantly saying to me just get surgery 😢
I am sorry to hear that. Please know you are not alone, and work with a local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. ~ Vibrant Support
whats your age
I don’t have prolapse but what I used to have, as we all do, is a negative attitude to my body! I now stand in front of my mirror with clothes off and I thank all of my body for the wonderful and incredible work it has done for my life. I zero in on the areas I once criticized. I thank God that I am wonderfully made. This isn’t ego or pride. This is gratitude! Try it.
Thanks for sharing!! Gratitude is so powerful. ~ Vibrant Support
How did it heal?
@@rosi4097
My attitude you mean! I am less self conscious and more appreciative of my physical self
@@lloyannehurd that's how the prolapse went away?!
@@rosi4097
Oh, as I stated in my original comment, I did not have a prolapse. I do follow the exercises here though and I feel so relaxed after. This is something we all should do even without a prolapse. The correct exercise can help prevent it I believe. I hope I’ve encouraged you. I wanted to.
I'm not preoccupied with my prolapsing bladder.
I used to check constantly early pp 😩 I think it was part of my grieving process and eventually I stopped which was a big deal as I have OCD but I knew it was messing with my head badly. I’ve also been guilty of shaming my vagina lol but now thanks to you de bri I managed to get my pelvic floor strong, it’s prolapsed still but it’s so strong, stronger than before having my son! Xxx
I so needed this. I am having a hard time coping. I have obstructed defecation and cystocele, rectocele. I got so anxious I was clenching all the time.
Thank you! I realize I’ve been saying my body is broken. This was helpful.
I actually do have a new story
When I was first diagnosed with a bladder prolapse
I was constantly looking with the mirror
At my prolapse.
I don't do that anymore
And I'm in a much better place mentally and physically. 😊
Yay !! So happy to hear that !!! You should be proud of yourself ! You deserve the best ! ~ Leila, Vibrant Support

Does this prolapse make you feel like you have to pee and I drank water with a little Lemon in it and I kept going and going!
yes, it can.

Thank you so much for your help... Much love 💕
Sending love to you, too. I'm right here with you. You've got this!
I can ignore the prolapse I just can’t ignore the constant feeling of having to urinate. It is truly interfering with my life. I was even put on antibiotics because I thought I had a UTI but the feeling is still there constantly.
Sorry to hear that. Please work with a local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance
I does go true this
Going through this right now 😢 need to stay positive
Best advice i have ever heard .. thank you!!!
You're so welcome!
Great video, thank you. ❤
Thanks for such an encouraging talk..please share photos first secndandworst stages of prolapse.
hey I'm 25 and never had children and I'm unmarried.A few months back when I'm doing household chores,i felt something falling of in my vagina and then I discovered some bulge in my vagina. what should I do now.. Im not even married.. I'm too anxious to go to the doctor and I feel like my life has came to an end.. even if the doc suggests me anything, didn't it effect my married life in my future.. now I'm too scared to get married too. can I get it reversed completely.. please help me 😢😢
Hi there, I am so sorry you are feeling anxious about this new situation. First, I highly recommend visiting a local pelvic floor PT, if possible. They can provide an official diagnosis, and offer individualized advice. In the meantime, I invite you to explore my beginner's guide to prolapse bit.ly/prolapseguide You can also check my Lift program for prolapse relief; it has helped many women in my community. bit.ly/liftforfree I hope it helps you as well!
Oh gosh I just found this video. I'm constantly saying my guts are falling out without even thinking about it
I hear you - that feeling can be unsettling. Remember, our bodies are resilient. With gentle care and the right approach, many find relief from that "falling out" sensation. ~ Vibrant Support
I am 75 and I was terrified had total prolapse I mean everything fell out not just the uterus Doctor told me I had to have surgery I was watching your channel and learned about pessaries then I said no I can't have surgery I've had a heart attack I have all kinds of health issues kidneys I can't go through surgery at 75 was given a pessary kept that for a long time didn't like it got another one and now I'm fine they can hook a cord to it and you can pull it out yourself and clean it and put it back yourself and you can take it out and leave it out for days and I'm 75 and scared of everything I'm scared to even take it out and clean it do not worry if I can go through this at 75 plus I have severe ulcerated colitis been hospitalized several times have to take the pessary out when that's happening but then clean it and put it back in even if you have it severe at 75 you will be fine please trust me Dr bri has helped so many people and she definitely helped me if she hadn't talked about her channel which I found was the only one and she started talking about pessaries I had no idea what they were God bless you Dr Brie Thank you so much for your help to all of us especially to me I could not have undergone surgery in my health God bless❤
Thank you for sharing your story. Sending you lots of love and healing. ~ Vibrant Support
Thank You.... (what a mess, in the back of the mind like a pot sticker) but now since your program of recovery I see things as excellent help/training (core especially) so now life has become different for me, life is good. :)
BEAUTIFUL!!! Life is good, what a wonderful statement to play in the back of your mind... A new kind of broken record (a positive/helpful broken record, this time)... So glad you're here with me! Change your thoughts, change your story, change your life.
Hi Bri, thanks for this advice, I know it is right, although I too am at the "check constantly" phase. This inspires me to reduce that. I have a question on the programme please - is Lift good for rectocele too or more for cystocele and uterine prolapse? Also is it good for someone who has a rather too weak pelvic floor post-birth, instead of very tense? I know the programme is based a lot on releasing, relaxing and stretching the pelvic floor so I am not sure if that's appropriate for me who needs to tone it more (I know you have to relax before you can strengthen though!). Thank you!
I've had crohns for years now. While most Dr's like to say constipation is a risk, so it going to the bathroom over 10 times a day. My pelvic floor strength is almost not there. I went to the er because I looked down at my vagina and there was a small ball flesh sticking out, I freaked. I guess it was mild because the Dr said they couldn't tell, but I've had to push it back in a few times now when I've noticed. When you have a lot of anus issues and now vaginal, it's so hard not to internally freak out.
I told people that my vagina just wanted to visit the outside. 😅
I am glad to a see that you find a reason to laugh in every situation :) This is such a beautiful mindset ! I recommend seeing a pelvic floor PT for a diagnosis and for individualized guidance. You can strengthen your pelvic floor through gentle workouts
Thanks dear, who has the time to constantly look at their snatch in the mirror all day long? PESSARY or surgery? I choose Pessary although the doctor prefers operating because that’s the money train.
We are glad to hear you are advocating for yourself and choosing the most comfortable option for your current needs. ~ Vibrant Support
Wow you are really the whole package. Mind, body and spirit. Thank you. The thoughts I have sometimes are horrible. And the fear.
You give me hope. I want to cry for a good reason!
You’re words are very helpful. I have a habit of negative self talk in many aspects about myself, my prolapse and especially body changes from pregnancy/childbirth even though my kids are older.
So glad to help! I think changing your words and mindset will give you so much strength! You can do it! ❤️
I will try this technique I just had a baby last week and it scared the hell outta me I discovered it late last night while I was in the shower and it has made me super depressed 😔 and I'm trying to keep my mind positive it sucks and it had to happen right around the holidays out of all days but I will try this method and see if it helps me
Sending you a big hug. Please make sure to check a pelvic floor PT for one-on-one support. In the meantime, you can check my Lift program for prolapse relief. You might want to wait for your provider to give you the green light for exercising. I have so many mind and lifestyle tips in the program that you can start implementing.

Does this program work for someone who has a severe prolapse? I'm most likely grade three or four.
It can help strengthen your pelvic floor and reduce some of your symptoms. However, there is no guarantee it will reverse your prolapse. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
Omg..this is me right now and I have driven my daughters crazy talking about it. I just want to feel better
I get that. You will feel better. If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to visit a pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. My beginner's guide to prolapse is also a good resource to check bit.ly/prolapseguide
How common is the rectal prolapse during pregnancy? Does it need a surgery to be treated or it can heal on its own..??
Rectal prolapse during pregnancy is relatively uncommon. However, pregnancy and childbirth can contribute to changes in pelvic floor muscles and tissues, potentially increasing the risk of issues like prolapse.
Whether rectal prolapse requires surgery or can heal on its own depends on various factors, including the severity of the prolapse, the impact on daily life, and individual health considerations. Mild cases might be managed with conservative measures, such as pelvic floor exercises, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications. More severe cases may require surgical intervention.
It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice based on your specific situation. They can provide guidance on appropriate treatments and help you make informed decisions about your health. ~ Vibrant Support
Thank you for this video, I just used the mirror for the first time before watching this video and it did cause anxiety worry etc
So thank you for helping me refocus in a detailed way what action to take for solution oriented 🙄❤️💐
You're so very welcome!!! Yes, it's so common (and so easy!) to become hyper-focused and even "fixated" on checking with mirrors again and again and again... While it's important to be aware of your condition and to do what you can to help yourself, it's much more effective to refocus your attention on looking ahead, having hope, and feeling gratitude for what's working in your life (rather than *ONLY* worrying about your prolapse). You are so much more than your pelvic floor. Thanks for hearing my message as a positive reframe! You might like my detailed prolapse guide: bit.ly/prolapseguide
I will heal myself so soon
Yes, you will !!!!!!!
I have had this since 2014, almost 10 years. I often have to push it up, but finally decided to have surgery early next winter. I do speak of it to educate other women and it is common. The Pessery kept slipping and had to go to the Dr to make it right ($25 copay). I still bike, but not so much walking as I have t pee often. I have learned to live with it. The excercises I couldn't do, I just never seem to squeeze the right muscles.
Thank you for educating women around you about prolapse. ~ Vibrant Support
I went to the doctor last year and told the doctor i have a prolapse he gone tell me I don’t and I see it smh I hate being lied too as a black woman in the health industry I could of been doing exercises to fix it smh 🤦🏾♀️
I'm sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with your doctor. It's important to advocate for your own health and seek a second opinion if you believe something is wrong. Pelvic floor exercises, like those mentioned earlier, can often be beneficial for managing or improving certain types of prolapse. If you believe you have a prolapse, it might be a good idea to consult with a pelvic floor PT or another healthcare provider who can provide a thorough evaluation and recommend appropriate treatments or exercises based on your specific condition. Your health and well-being are important, so don't hesitate to seek the care you need. ~ Vibrant Support
Thanks for sharing, recommendation, support. But doctors recommend only operating rectocele. Age 54.I will be thankful for answer.
While surgery is sometimes recommended, many find relief through non-invasive methods like pelvic floor exercises - always discuss all options with your healthcare provider. ~ Vibrant Support
Can an old woman of 66 years be helped?
Yes !!
What do you do when your stool gets caught in the wrong way out?
If you're experiencing difficulty passing stool, try gently changing your position on the toilet, using a Squatty Potty or stool to elevate your feet, taking deep breaths to relax your pelvic floor, and if needed, consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice. ~Vibrant Support
Thanks for the inspiration ❤
I will heal...
YES!!! A mindset focused on healing is so important for healing!
