Prolapse Support Tools

Obviously, pelvic floor therapy should be the gold standard treatment for prolapse, especially for stage 1 and 2 prolapse! It responds beautifully to conservative management! But, sometimes prolapse could benefit from additional support while you’re working through therapy and/or if you have a more advanced stage of prolapse. There are several options out there on the market which could be helpful in adding support to the pelvic organs and make symptoms so much better —which then allows you to be able to do a lot of the activities that would usually make you more symptomatic.

Here are just a few examples of external support devices that could be helpful for managing prolapse. I highly recommend consulting with your provider before trying one of these to ensure it is the correct choice for you.

💫Revive bladder support— intended to help add support to the bladder and urethra for those with Stress incontinence. Not helpful for Urge incontinence. Could be helpful for bladder prolapse and/or urethral hypermobility.

💫 Impressa bladder support— intended to help add support to the bladder and urethra for those with Stress incontinence. Not helpful for Urge incontinence. Could be helpful for bladder prolapse and/or urethral hypermobility.

💫Uresta— Helps support the bladder and urethra for those with stress incontinence. Not helpful for urge incontinence. May also add some support to the cervix.

💫Pessary— there are tons of types of pessaries on the market and they can be used for different types of prolapse (bladder, uterine, re**um). The type of prolapse will often determine which type of pessary to be used. These must be fitted and managed by a medical provider.

Prolapse isn’t just a muscle issue

I think a lot of people assume that prolapse is strictly a pelvic floor muscle weakness issue, when in reality it can be so much more than that. It’s very possible to have a strong well functioning pelvic floor, but still have prolapse. Oftentimes, prolapse is actually the result of ligament laxity or ligament rupture—- ligaments that support the pelvic organs.

There are several different ligaments that attach the pelvic organs to the pelvic wall and essentially anchor the organs in a supported fashion. These ligaments can become very stretched or completely ruptured often occurring during a va**nal birth or in some cases people with ligament laxity (such as Ehlers Danlos).

In these cases, pelvic floor strengthening can only help so much. If the prolapse is past the level of the pelvic floor muscles, then strengthening the pelvic floor is often not helpful because the muscles aren’t able to get under and lift the prolapse up— they essentially contract around the prolapse instead. In these situations, a pessary or other similar device is needed to help get the prolapse up past the level of the muscles so when you contract the muscles, it’s actually lifting and supporting the organs.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse is very common and many people may not be having outward symptoms of it.

Typical symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse are:
-pressure, heaviness in va**nal area
-feeling or seeing a bulge in your va**na or re**um
-painful in*******se
-difficulty emptying your bladder or bowels
-increased symptoms after being on your feet more or after lifting or exercising

There is A LOT you can do to help your prolapse and pelvic floor therapy should be the first line of treatment! You can learn how to properly strengthen what’s weak, learn how to properly manage intraabdominal pressure so you stop placing unnecessary pressure into your pelvis, and tips on how to reduce your symptoms during the day. Seek out your local pelvic floor therapists for help!

💫 Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation (GSL)💫

During times of lactation, women’s bodies have hormonal changes that can induce a variety of unwanted symptoms. Often this occurs during lactation due to low levels of estrogen and higher levels of prolactin. Much like during menopause—- Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause— similar symptoms can occur while lactating postpartum. Thus termed— Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation.

Typical symptoms that may occur with this:
Vaginal dryness
painful in*******se
UTIs
va**nal atrophy (thinning of va**nal tissues and loss of elasticity of tissues)
urinary incontinence
urinary frequency/ urgency

This affects nearly 60% of lactating women! I see this all the time in the office. Often this is self limiting, as these symptoms will usually go away once you’ve weaned from lactating. But during that time, there is help for you! Seeing a pelvic floor therapist can be very helpful in alleviating some of these symptoms, as well as consulting with your medical doctor regarding options for treating the tissue symptoms — i.e. va**nal moisturizers, va**nal estrogen cream, etc.

Vaginal estrogen cream is the GOAT for treating the underlying cause of a lot of these symptoms. This can be used temporarily while you’re lactating so that you can help alleviate any of the above mentioned symptoms

💫💫 Ever wonder what a pelvic floor muscle exam looks like? In these videos, I describe what an internal pelvic floor exam might look like. These exams help glean a ton of information on what the pelvic floor is doing— but we have to also determine what that means with the rest of the body. The pelvic floor is just one piece of the puzzle!

Keep in mind, internal pelvic floor exams can be va**nally and/or rectally depending on symptom presentation and available anatomy— and always with consent of the patient.

Let me know if you have any questions!

💫 Birth Prep Program 💫

Our comprehensive birth prep program can start in the second trimester, especially if you want to be proactive in managing your changing body throughout pregnancy and stay active and pain-free.

The third trimester is the MOST FUN! Learn all the things:
💫 labor and delivery positions for the different stages of labor
💫learn how to open the pelvic inlet vs pelvic outlet and when it matters
💫learn to relax and lengthen the pelvic floor muscles in preparation for baby making their exit (remember, the pelvic floor doesn’t push your baby out, your uterus does! So all those kegels won’t help with this part)
💫 perineal massage
💫Push prep!! Learn different strategies and positions for effectively pushing your baby out
💫Postpartum considerations — we review lots of stuff here! Body mechanics with lifting, carrying, feeding baby; perineal and C-section care immediately postpartum, how to support your core and pelvic floor, and so much more!

Call our office to schedule your birth prep sessions!

These are really common areas that people hold muscle tension. It can sometimes contribute to back/hip/tailbone pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and bladder urgency/frequency and incontinence.

Make it a habit to check yourself multiple times throughout the day to see if you’re holding tension in these areas. If you are, consciously relax these areas and follow it up with a few deep breaths.

If you find yourself continuing to hold tension and can’t seem to stop, reach out for more help!!
