Is it true that POP can be corrected on its own through physio and breathing? The PFPT I saw said stage 1 and 2 can be reversed which made me optimistic, however when I saw a urogynocologist, she said this was false. That really crushed me. Im not sure what lead to my POP as I've never given birth/been pregnant.
My wife healed her prolapses and yes, sadly she was also told that she couldn't. She did work on her emotions as well though but yes a Pelvic Organ Prolapse certainly can be healed.
This is since a great question, and there is a reason why the gyne and physio don’t always agree on the answer. As explained in the video, prolapse is the path of least resistance. It is symptomatic when intraabdominal pressure is uncontrolled. It is possible to restore balance to the tissues, even for stage 3 prolapse, when the balance of tension is restored. The point of weakness will still exist, but because the tissues have been adapted to expand together, it nolonger produces any symptoms. From the perspective of the person with the prolapse, it has resolved as they nolonger feel it. From the perspective of the Physio, it has resolved as the tissues are balance and symptoms have subsided. From the perspective of the gyne, the prolapse is still there as they can see the point of weakness. Make sense?
She resolved her symptoms. Point of weakness will remain, but the rebalancing of tissues and learning to control pressure mean that they will nolonger be an issue - there won’t be any symptoms. Well done to your wife 👍🏻
Healing isn’t the right word. My own prolapse does not cause any symptoms (unless I get constipated). It’s not that I have healed, it’s that the balance of tension has been restored. Getting everything to expand together. Strengthening weak pelvic floor muscles, or relaxing tight pelvic floor muscles, releasing scar tissue and learning to manage intraabdominal pressure - that’s the key to no longer feeling prolapse,
This is one of the best explanations I've heard, and I've heard a lot!! I am curious about your opinion on hypotonicity. I went from a hypertonic to hypotonic (with prolapse) after the birth of my first son. No tearing, but pushed for 2.5 hours and he was sunny side up! Do you think strengthening the pelvic floor can reverse hypotonicity or just the symptoms? Thanks! ❤
Strengthening the pelvic floor does reverse hypotonicity, so it is worth doing. Have you had your pelvic floor assessed by a pelvic floor PT? Definitely worth doing.
Would you happen to know anything about a bulging (herniated?) perineum that is always bulging out? It's not bulging into the vagina or rectum, just poking out. I've done some research and I think it popped out because of too much pushing while sitting on the toilet. I'm not experiencing any troubles with incontinence, not experiencing the feeling of my pelvis "falling" out or pain in my pelvis or perineum; only some discomfort around the skin of the bulge. I have been having hypertension though, but i've learned to manage it. I can push the perineum back in with a finger, but it comes back out and it's quite firm, not squishy at all.
It’s with getting it checked by a pelvic floor PT. It may be a descending perineum, or possibly a small cyst. Always worth having an assessment to rule out anything sinister.
Hi maam, I've been struggling with urinary frequency for many years now, and one thing I notice is that I cannot fully empty my bladder and everytime I drink a glass of water right away I got the urge to pee.Any advice .
The needing to pee immediately on drinking is a usually a learned response. It’s similar to the “key in the door” response, where the urgency arises on putting the key in the door. You can calm the bladder with some small tricks which I highlighted in the overactive bladder playlist, and perhaps undertake some bladder retraining. Your doctor can advise on that. ua-cam.com/play/PLTrM-0Yl3PcvCkTPfiKhFjN6yy9ZZhWDX.html&si=FHKxfK-BByE23Ga6
I was dxed with pop of rectum, urethra and uterus. I am hypermobile and my uterus goes wherever it wants, as it is also apparently (moves from anteverted to retroverted and how ever else lol) but i know the rectocele is due to pudendal neuralgia and i can’t feel what’s going on causing excessive pushing. All this to say this started from holding pressure in my core I’m certain but it’s so out of hand now. A nerve block was effective for almost 2 weeks and took all the symptoms away i just wish i knew how to release the abdominal pressure permanently with hypermobility.. everything keeps going back where it was when pt is done but maybe abdominal massage would help
Letting go of tension is the generally the first step, although with hypermobility, you need to be very mindful of your joints and I would suggest that instead you start with a strengthening focus. You can increase your pelvic floor strength to help counter the intraabdominal pressure, and queue yourself to let your belly hang throughout the day. Are you already working with a pelvic floor physio? It can make such a big difference when you have your strength and flexibility assessed, and get confirmation on the right areas to focus for your specific body.
Learning to manage intraabdominal pressure and strengthening a weak pelvic floor can help with overall core stabilization which can help with symptoms of umbilical hernia, bit it doesn’t “cure” or “heal” the hernia as the point of weakness will likely still exist. Make sense?
A hypopressive sequence (10 to 15 minutes long) would typically be practiced once per day. Your pelvic floor physio could confirm if that is sufficient for you.

I can't love this enough! This is soooo needed. God bless you!
Thank you 🙏🏻🌸😊

@@UnshakeableYouPelvicFloo-kr2vmhow did she go about healing it? Any leads Id appreciate it ty

Can this help correct/ repair an umbilical hernia?

Hii...mam plz suggest me how many time in a day hypopressive should be done....or lateral breathing
A hypopressive sequence (10 to 15 minutes long) would typically be practiced once per day. Your pelvic floor physio could confirm if that is sufficient for you.
