Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Strategies for Management
Support of the pelvic organs depends on the integrity of the pelvic floor muscles, connective tissue and nerves. Loss of this support can lead to a pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse symptoms often
include a sensation of fullness or pressure in the pelvis, difficulty with urination, incontinence, and pelvic or low back pain. This is a common condition but there is much you can do to help.
Bladder Health
Do You Have Healthy Urinary Habits?
Do not rush and do not strain or push. Take your time to relax to allow your bladder to empty.
If you sit to urinate, don't hover or squat. SIT on the toilet so that your pelvic floor muscles can relax and allow you to completely empty your bladder.
