Exercises to help a mild prolapse

Pilates ...? I've recently started doing "Fitness Pilates" and am really enjoying it. It certainly works core muscles.

I stop the flow of wee for 10 seconds of every wee - I think it is helping.

My DD bought me something to insert and you can make it heavier or lighter - I must admit I have not used it much. It just seemed a bit of an unusual birthday present

Thanks so much for replying... I've done some Pilates too and enjoyed the workouts...Then someone said I shouldn't be doing certain exercises and I got disheartened.... Could you let me know which ones are not recommended?

Also, never get constipated, straining makes it worse

Apart from losing a bit of weight if you need to, the kegels are the best answer. They helped me tremendously. You have to concentrate hard and actually get in the habit of doing them practically all day at first. You soon can find yourself doing them without hardly thinking about it. Make sure to do them properly - think of the muscles at the back as well as the front. Draw them all in strongly.

You can get weights you put inside from Amazon and probably Boots etc. They may help, if you keep up with using them. But I think acquiring the habit of doing the kegels is most important.

It can be a hard slog but as yours is mild, you have every chance of turning it around.

I feel so encouraged.... Is there a product name for the weights? Do you do any other exercise...gym etc??

I'll pop upstairs and look at my weights and let you know later Su3ieQ.

I was told by my doc and physio that to stop the flow of wee is the worst thing you can do. If done too often it 'trains' the brain to stop sending signals to empty the bladder completely. Do the internal pelvic and anal squeeze combined. Start with 10 holding each for 10 seconds. do these at least 4 times a day and progress to more.Also start with 10 quick fire squeezes. Losing weight if necessary also helps.

Yes. I thought that about the stopping the wee midstream. But didn't like to say anything.

Thanks jinglebellsfrocks...and marmight...all good information...
What about jogging....yoga...etc??? any tips??

Any exercise which makes you 'bear down' is not a good idea. Jogging def a no no as are some Pilate moves and rowing exercises

That's what I thought......Any suggestions as to what exercises are ok???? Cycling? Swimming??? I need to do something!

Swimming definitely good all round.

I found cycling a comforting exercise as, whilst sitting on the saddle, you knew nothing could fall out.

In fact, it seemed to shove it back up.

I thought all Pilates exercises were good! Will ask my instructor and report back!

Thanks for that! Shall do the cycling and swimming..... (especially the cycling...your image is lovely!!)
