Скачать или смотреть Episode 9 - Today in the clinic everyone had prolapse

Allison and Sarah discuss pelvic organ prolapse, a common condition where pelvic organs descend due to weakened vaginal tissue walls. In this episode we cover the following:

Types of prolapse:
Cystocele (anterior wall, bladder)
Rectocele (posterior wall, rectum)
Uterine prolapse (top support system, uterus)

Common causes of prolapse:
Childbirth, particularly vaginal births
Hypermobility conditions like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Aging and hormonal changes during menopause

Symptoms of prolapse:
Heaviness in the pelvis
Difficulty emptying bowels or a feeling of incomplete evacuation
Symptoms worsening after physical activity or by the end of the day

Explanation of the grades of prolapse:
Grade 1: Mild, slight mobility at the top of the vaginal canal
Grade 2: More noticeable bulging into the vaginal canal
Grade 3: Visible at the vaginal opening
Grade 4: Tissue protruding outside the vaginal opening

Treatment options:
Non-surgical: vaginal estrogen, pelvic floor physical therapy, pressure management techniques
Pessaries: internal support devices fitted by a gynecologist
External support garments and compression wear
Surgical options for severe cases, with considerations for recovery time and second opinions

Importance of exercise in managing prolapse:
Moderate exercise reduces prolapse risk compared to sedentary lifestyles and extreme heavy lifting
Emphasis on proper pressure management and pelvic floor recruitment during activities
