Postpartum Prolapse and the Pelvic Floor: Separating Myths from Truths
Welcoming a new baby is a joyous experience, but it also brings along a plethora of changes to a woman’s body. One of the topics rarely discussed, yet critically important, is the health of the pelvic floor during the postpartum phase.

In this post, we'll break down some myths and shine a light on the reality of prolapse after childbirth.

1. Prolapse Always Requires Surgery? Think Again! It's a common misconception that once you experience prolapse, the only solution is surgical intervention. The truth is, there are multiple approaches to managing, and even preventing, prolapse without going under the knife. By understanding your body, seeking guidance, and using various non-surgical methods, many women find effective ways to deal with prolapse.

2. The Link Between Constipation and Prolapse Chronic constipation isn't just uncomfortable; it's also one of the leading causes of prolapse. The pressure and straining associated with constipation can exacerbate pelvic floor issues, making prolapse more prominent. Addressing digestive health can play a significant role in alleviating prolapse symptoms.

3. C-sections and Prolapse A prevalent myth is that only women who've had vaginal deliveries can experience prolapse. This is far from the truth. Even those who've had C-sections can experience prolapse due to various factors throughout pregnancy. The strain and physiological changes during those nine months can still lead to some degree of prolapse.

4. Exercise Myths Debunked! Many women fear that exercises like squats or sit-ups might worsen prolapse. But the reality is, when done correctly, these exercises can be beneficial. Engaging the core and pelvic floor effectively, and with the right guidance, can enhance strength and stability in the postpartum phase.
