When Is Surgery Necessary for Prolapse? Explore 2 Alternatives First

Feeling the discomfort and uncertainty that comes with pelvic organ prolapse can be overwhelming. As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I've met many women who are frightened by the symptoms of heaviness, pain, or that unsettling bulging sensation. Often, surgery seems to be presented as the sole solution, but there are effective alternatives to consider.

In this video, I delve into understanding pelvic organ prolapse, including its various types and the discomforts associated with each. By exploring the structure of the pelvic area with a model, I aim to demystify the condition and highlight how interconnected our muscle systems are in supporting our pelvic organs. This understanding is crucial before considering any invasive procedures.

I introduce two lesser-known but highly effective conservative treatments: pelvic floor physical therapy and the use of a pessary. These methods can significantly alleviate symptoms and even prevent the condition from worsening, offering hope and options before taking the surgical route. I'll share insights on how these approaches have transformed the lives of many of my clients, helping them regain comfort and confidence without the need for surgery.
