Prolapse: "That Wasn't There Before!"

👩🏽 Happy #Thrivinthursdays!

Today we’re talking about PROLAPSE aka pelvic organ prolapse aka “That wasn’t there before!”. I recently had the pleasure of talking about this with Ali and Karly on their podcast @Birthkweens so I wanted to give you a quick overview of what prolapse is in case you missed it!

Watch this 8ish-minute video and following pictures for some info on:

1. What prolapse is.

2. What types of prolapse there are.

3. How prolapses are graded by severity.

4. Self-assessment.

5. Treatment options.

6. Prevention of prolapse.

Check out the Pelvic Guru illustrations at the end of the video, to better visualize:

1. Types of prolapse

2. Cystocele (bladder pressing on the front wall of the vaginal canal)

3. Uterine prolapse (uterus)

4. Pessary

This is all GREAT info ( if I do say so myself 😂), but I do feel it’s still the bare minimum so please go and listen to the podcast and/or get in contact with me if you have any questions or want more info!
