👩🏽 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:
What prolapse is.
What types of prolapse there are.
How prolapses are graded by severity.
Self-assessment.
Treatment options.
Prevention of prolapse.
Check out the Pelvic Guru illustrations at the end of the video, to better visualize:
Types of prolapse
Cystocele (bladder pressing on the front wall of the vaginal canal)
Uterine prolapse (uterus)
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!
