Prevention

Prolapse prevention is it possible ? Currently we don’t know the cause of the prolapse and it is probably caused by a combination of things. Because there are probably different causes, there is no single way to prevent these problems.

Currently, a woman cannot change her genetic risk, which influences the strength of her connective tissue. However, women can make lifestyle choices to help reduce their risk of developing POP.

prolapse prevention /Pelvic Muscle Exercises

Pelvic muscle exercises (Kegel) strengthen or retrain the nerves and muscles of the pelvic floor. Regular daily exercising of the pelvic muscles can improve and even prevent urinary incontinence. This may be particularly helpful for younger women. Though pelvic floor exercises do not correct the prolapse, they may help control symptoms and limit the worsening of prolapse.

Over a period of time, you can strengthen your pelvic muscles and potentially decrease your symptoms of urgency or frequency. Go for 4 to 8 sets of 10 squeezes over the course of each day—in several weeks you’ll start to notice a difference.

To decrease your risk or prolapse prevention, make choices, which avoid increasing pressure inside the abdomen and on the pelvic floor.
