Thank you for posting my discussion here to help other ladies with prolapse. I have not had any surgery and that is because I don't want surgery for prolapse. I am 65 and cannot wear a pessary either. There is so much more we can try to do for ourselves to avoid surgery. My only problem was my prolapse was starting to drop down further towards the opening of the vagina area. I can go to the bathroom fine, no problems. I found out that walking, good posture and pelvic floor exercises can help a lot to control and manage a prolapse. I am a stage 3 prolapse bladder and I am surviving with a prolapse bladder without surgery for the last ten years. I learned that you cannot lift heavy things, you must keep your urine and bowels moving well by eating the right foods. Avoid coughing if you can, it pushes the prolapse out, just like lifting does or pushing if you are constipated pushed the prolapse out too. I am wearing a support for my prolapse that is very comfy and stops my prolapse from coming out. Hope others can find ways to survive without surgery if possible.
