Vaginal Atrophy

After my lady parts began prolapsing I was desperate for help. When my gynecologist told me some women have vaginal prolapse they actually have a bulge hanging down, much like a man’s scrotum. I was not interested in a surgery ‘which may help’ I was desperate to find an answer. A close friend had mentioned she was going to ‘pelvic floor training’. I called her right away for more details. I asked my primary care physician to write an order for pelvic floor training. I was taught exercises to rebuild those muscles. The therapist told me our vaginas are ‘like a woven basket that holds things in place’. I am very pleased with the results. I will gladly continue the exercises. Occasionally, If I’m totally worn out, I’ll skip a day.

Did you see a physical therapist for the training? I’m not sure if I need the therapy, but would like an evaluation. Maybe, I’ll try the intercourse to see how it goes.

So glad you had good results with that therapy! My mom has had 2 surgeries for prolapse years ago. I have done kegel exercises before. I became concerned that I might be hypotonic, since I’m such an anxious person and discontinued them. Perhaps, I’ll resume them.
