Uterine prolapse?

---

I was diagnosed with a stage 2-3 uterine prolapse last year. I had enough pain then to recognize it now. I am 37 weeks pregnant. It doesn't make sense to me that it hurts now because my uterus is lifted and expanded for the baby. But every now and then it hurts so incredibly when she moves. I wonder if anyone knows why it hurts down low? I am thinking it is because that is where the muscles are weakened....
Also, if anyone has had pain with this during pregnancy I would like some insight into what you did for relief and how your uterus behaved after birth.
Thanks.
Perhaps, U will require EXTENSIVE REPAIR WORK, AFTER UR DELIVERY. THE DOC, CAN TEACH U HOW TO RELIEVE UR DISCOMFORT, & PAIN.  (+ info)

uterine prolapse?

---

My baby boy is 8weeks old and since delivering him i've suffered with a mild uterine prolapse its so uncomfortable. My doctor wont refer me to a gynaecologist yet she wants me to wait a few weeks to see how I go with pelvic floor exercises. I dont think they are helping, did anyone else suffer like this.
Thanks everyone.
If you feel that the exercises are not helping, go talk to your gynecologist. You don't need your OB's permission. There are several non-surgical options. #1 - exercise, which isn't working. #2 - HRT, which has its own drawbacks. #3 - is called a vaginal pessary. It is a rubber or plastic ring that fits around the cervix and hold the uterus in place. It must be put in place by a Dr. Also must be cleaned frequently and must be removed before sex. There are 5 or 6 different surgical options, which would be my choice.  (+ info)

I have just been diagnosed with a moderate uterine prolapse. What should I do?

---

I have just been diagnosed with a moderate uterine prolapse.
The doctor has told me to do kegel exercises, could I use the kegelmaster to strengthen my pelvic muscles and eventually avoid having to have a hysterectomy. I will do anything naturally to avoid surgery and in turn decrease the pressure I feel and the urinary frequency.
Looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convince.
Thanking you in advance.
Exercising your pelvic floor muscles regularly can help prevent bladder problems. These exercises are called Kegels.
the only thing is that you need resistant i found one device that solves this problem it's called kegelmaster 2000
i seen this on Oprah's site and marie claire magazine

What can cause uterine prolapse in a healthy 22 year old with no previous pregnancies?

---

I've noticed in the last year my uterus has dropped down alot, my cervix is about an inch from the opening of my vagina. I dont know why this would happen bc I've never been pregnant, am a normal weight and in decent shape. Does anyone have an idea what could cause this?
I don't know how helpful this will be, but i've been told that sometimes it can be hereditary. And then on the other hand, it can sometimes be from physical activity. If you don't think that its affecting your health at the moment, you can do excersises to strengthen the muscles that hold you cervix tight. I suppose it would be what pregnant women do throughout their pregnancies to strengthen their pelvic muscles and maintain bladder control. You can always double check.  (+ info)

Will using a strong vibrator cause uterine prolapse due to the "straining" while having a strong orgasm?

---

Will using the Hitachi wand say, once a week, cause uterine prolapse in a 24 year old woman that has given birth vaginally 2 times? Woman is 5' 5" tall, 230lbs, and mildly active. Please, only serious answers.
I can't imagine that could happen.

Why would you only use the Hitachi wand 1x per week?

good luck!  (+ info)

Is it possible for a virgin to experience uterine prolapse?

---

I'm curious. In my health class it mentions nothing of that but my friend says it is possible??
I thought you had to have had conceived children, though?
Yes, though it's unlikely unless you are very old, obese or have other contributing factors.  (+ info)

Have any women here used shelf pessaries for uterine prolapse, and if so, what was your experience?

---

My wife has a stage three uterine prolapse, and is waiting for a shelf pesssary to be 'fitted' in the interim period before an inevitable hysterectomy. Ring pessaries have been unsuccesful and we have read reports on the use of such devices, which suggest a low success rate.
She would be most interested to hear of others experiences of ring pessaries.
Sorry, the last sentence should have read 'shelf pessaries.'
Is she going to have more children? If not then why wait to have the hysterectomy? I mean really...If your not going to use it than lose it. She'll be much happier. There are new ways to have it done now that make the healing time so much faster, and it leaves no scars.  (+ info)

is there surgery for uterine prolapse, besides a hysterectamy?

---

i'm 49, two children. it started about a year ago. the prolapse starts a couple of days after i get my period and only happens when i am active, which i am. the next morning it's gone. then it stops mid cylce, about day 15 or so. then it starts all over again when i get my period. is this normal? is it part of peri-menopause? my biggest fear is that some day it will just totally come all the way down and never go back up again.
there is a pessary that can be put in for temporary support, you have to take it out for cleanings every now and again. Talk to your GYN about it. Make sure you are doing your kegel exercises to strengthen that pelvic floor...  (+ info)

Can a uterine prolapse occur in a young women?

---

physically active (not overweight)
early twenties
never given birth
someone needs to be a little less concerned about what I am posting. If you're not going to answer the question don't answer at all...
combination of muscles and ligaments in the pelvis called the pelvic floor support the uterus and vagina, to keep them in their correct position inside the pelvis.

Giving birth as well as the normal ageing process can weaken the pelvic floor and this can result in a prolapse.

Prolapse of the uterus and vagina becomes more common as women get older and is not often seen before the menopause.

A woman's prolapse is described according to the part or parts of the uterus and vagina that are involved. If the front wall of the vagina (below the bladder) is prolapsing it is called a cystocoele (pronounced sisto-seal).

If the back wall of the vagina is involved (in front of the bowel) it is called a rectocoele (pronounced recto-seal).

If the cervix is prolapsing all the way out beyond the entrance of the vagina (introitus) it is called a proccidentia (pronounced pro-sid-enshier).

Sometimes a woman will only have one part of the vagina involved in her prolapse or it may be a combination of the vagina and the uterus.

there is no obvious answer why you have this! as you havent given birth, you are fit and health, and you are not about to go through a menopause, its very unusual.  (+ info)

Uterine Prolapse and need referral to a specialist?

---

My OBGYN told me I have a uterine prolapse( cervix, uterus and bladder) and told me I need a hysterectomy. My insurance has expired and I'm trying to get a referral to UTMB Galveston( they go by your income). My OBGYN won't refer me because he said they won't take me because I don't have insurance. I know this is a lie because Galveston accepts people without insurance. What should I do? This is a 2nd degree prolapse.
I did see a doctor(gyno) and he is the one who told me I had uterine prolapse. He knows I don't have insurance anymore and that I could have a hysterectomy at UTMB. I think he wanted to be the one who did the surgery on me and he is mad because he is missing out on the money. That's what my friends are saying.
my advice is,,,,,,,,,,,,,, go to a doctor to get referred,,,, thats usually how it works, most specialists dont take walk ins  (+ info)
