Hypertonic pelvic floor, prolapse and exercises, am I making it worst?
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi, so I'm really hoping someone can share their experiences or advice, as it's going to be awhile before I can physically visit a pelvic PT.
So here is what is happening-I recently discovered and am now diagnosed with a bladder prolapse and cervical descent. So after freaking out I have been researching alot and after seeing a phsyio Therapist (PT) told to do kegels.

Hi, I never received any replies or advice, and I know from searching other forums and this one that sometimes a patient never posts back with an update, which would be useful. So here's an update:
I ended up seeing a Pelvic health therapist and it was the best and only decision I should have made. By doing my own reserach at home and then trying some "safe" exercises I made it worst, my stomach became very large from damage to my diastisis recti (DR). I needed personal hands-on therapy to help with internal scarring and tense muscles. In fact I couldn't do a kegel due to internal scarring and lack of muscle tone. So with therapy and daily exercises I am now doing much better and have seen improvements. If all goes well I won't need surgery and will be able to live a fairly normal life with my usual activities. So my advice to anyone who had trouble with childbirth, not sure if things are okay, see a pelivic health therapist and get a check-up. It won't hurt to know if everything is okay or not, so much better to be safe!

That should be pelvic floor physiotherapist! Should have used 'spell check'.
