Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
How to Finally Stop The Embarrassment of “Leaking” When You Cough or Exercise to Healing Prolapse or pelvic pain naturally.
This is COMMON and is NOT NORMAL!
If any of these describes you, you are not alone. In fact, leaking or “incontinence” symptoms are ONE of THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS that we see as a pelvic floor physical therapist.
What is Prolapse?
What do you feel?
What you typically feel is pressure in the pelvic region, or a fullness or achiness in the abdomen. They may have some back pain or cramping. Symptoms can get worse being on your feet for prolonged times or lifting or exercising.
Some ways you can get prolapse are
- Giving Birth (c section or vaginally)
- Trauma or accident
- Hysterectomy
- Loose ligaments
- Holding your breath while lifting (creating more abdominal and pelvic floor pressure)
- Constipation
- WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME or
- WHY AM I SUFFERING WITH THIS AFTER HAVING A BABY?
- IS THIS JUST WHAT HAPPENS AS I AGE?
The Treatment topics that came up when GOOGLING these conditions
- Behavior techniques – training you to hold your bladder, schedule trips to the bathroom and fluid management – usually one treats a piece of the problem.
- Kegel exercises- now this is the answer to everything when it comes to women’s health and can make you worse and you are probably doing the exercise incorrectly! Chances are kegels are not an appropriate exercise for you to be performing.
- Medications- again is this getting to the root cause of the problem??
- Electrical stim to help strength your pelvic floor- Okay I can see how this might help, but you still have to be able to strengthen and relax the right muscles on their own. So you will need more than this!
- Injections- again is this really getting to the root cause of the problem.
- Medical devices- you insert devices to collect or absorb the urine! Again this is not getting to the source of the problem…
- Surgery – YIKES- Do you really want a surgery down there? Or have your uterus taken out (which by the way has a 50% reoccurrence rate because they are not truly fixing the problem: your pelvic floor).
- Wearing pads…
