...sheesh, at the tender age of 39 too (usually they occurr in 'later life' for post menopausal women)

I have a sensation similar to that of a tampon slightly started to dislodge (as if it needs another good shove up to get back in position) and when I inserted a finger to examine what was going on, I can feel a sort of soft fleshy obstruction.

Shit.

I do have some of the risk factors (have googled) - children in quick succession, not having done my pelvic floor exercises!, overweight, and a recent prolonged bout of coughing (over a few weeks)which puts on added strain

Key question - i think this is a pretty mild prolapse currently (not yet all 'hanging out') - is it earlier enough to sort of reverse it with major pelvic floor workouts?

...and can I continue to go running?

Mine feels like it's at the the side though. I can't work that one out.
