Prolapse

[DSM]

I think I might have a prolapse. Not 100% sure, but I have researched it a little after seeing a woman on TV with the same 'thing' I have, and I think thats what I have.

I always thought it was just a change in my vagina after childbirth, but now I am really worried. Can sex affect it? can it get worse? Can it fall out? What if I cut it shaving or something?

I am so embarrassed, please someone give me some advice.

My midwife emphasised that you have to be gentle on yourself to start with the excercises. ie on all fours bum in the air - so there is no pressure when you try. After a couple of weeks doing it like this move on to doing it lying down, then sitting, then standing.

Thanks both of you. It is really heartening to hear such good advice.

I am seeing my GP again this week and going to ask for a referral to either a gynae or a physio.

Fitifot, just wondering what the outcome of your physio/gynae appts were? I have excactly the same as you and am 3 months postnatal. Are you still breastfeeding and if not, did stopping make a difference?

Hi, I have a rectocele and have been refered for physio.
What will physio involve?
I'm so embarrassed :(
