I did some PT for my prolapsed bladder, but I unfortunately was one of the percentage of people who "fail" that treatment. I evidently have very poor coordination of my pelvic floor muscles, and when asked to clench one would clench another, and so forth. I think at times the physical therapist may have thought I was kidding in those instances, but I actually was trying really hard to do as I was asked. Required a lot of concentration on my part. So, eventually I learned from my therapist that I was deemed to have failed this therapy (I always think of it in terms of a treatment failing the patient, though). My understanding is that pelvic floor PT is helpful for many women with prolapse, however.

@contentandwell - the pessary is used to push the bladder back up so that it is not protruding out of the body or not putting pressure on the opening and feeling uncomfortable. This Mayo Clinic information on pessaries shows some of the types https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/urinary-incontinence/multimedia/pessary-use/img-20006056. I've tried the ring type.

After I finally had the surgery to correct the prolapsed bladder and rectum, my urogynecologist actually suggested just what you are saying, @coralbells1: he said he tells all his patients to take a fiber supplement powder daily (I take the clear, tasteless kind in my morning coffee).

@astabenno1990 - sounds like your prolapse surgery and recovery went really well. Do you think about it much anymore?

@pizon - where are things at with the nerve damage now after your correction surgery?
