The proven method for regaining your strength and confidence, long term.
41% - 50% of women worldwide will experience prolapse. You’re REALLY not alone… It’s just that shame keeps women from talking about what is actually a super common injury that you CAN do something about.
It’s very likely you weren’t prepared for this and it may have left you feeling a bit panicked and alarmed. You might be feeling some grief or like you're broken in a way that will never get fixed.
You aren’t, we promise…
This didn’t happen to you because you did something wrong or didn’t take care of yourself.
This happened because it HAPPENS! It happens a lot more commonly than we think (but no one warns us about it), and to a lot more women than we think (but no one talks about it).
AND it doesn’t just happen to women who give birth either. Genetics, hormones, age and posture can all be reasons prolapse happens. Even having a hysterectomy can increase the likelihood of a prolapse.

There are even a bunch of different names for each of these. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and confused you’re not alone!
is when your bladder moves downwards until it bulges into your vaginal wall. This is sometimes called “a fallen bladder” or “prolapse of the bladder.” Your pelvic floor muscles are part of the support system for the organs of the pelvis. If these are damaged (like through childbirth, improper lifting technique or general weakening) a prolapse can happen.

This can lead to your uterus moving down into your vagina (often called an incomplete prolapse). In more advanced cases, the uterus may protrude out of your vaginal opening (often called a complete prolapse). A prolapse is graded in severity, depending on how far your uterus has descended.

This can lead to painful symptoms and other pelvic organ related symptoms. In severe cases, your vaginal or rectal walls can bulge and protrude from your vaginal opening.

The most common symptom of rectal prolapse is the feeling of a bulge or ball extending out of your rectum. This can look like a reddish-colored mass extending outside of your anus, or, in the case of an internal prolapse, feel as if something is stuck in your rectum. You’ll likely experience symptoms most often during or after a bowel movement.

If left untreated, a pelvic prolapse can worsen over time. If it is severe enough to interfere with the bladder or kidneys, then there may be serious consequences like infection and kidney damage.
If you have pelvic organ prolapse, it's important to take care of yourself by avoiding strenuous activity and staying off your feet for long periods. That means if possible, try to not take on heavy work or stand too much as the increased pressure can make your prolapse symptoms worse.
It depends, there is no right answer as it will be different for everyone. Some people may have back pain when they sleep on their backs; others experience shoulder or hip discomfort when side sleeping. Using additional pillows to support the body while sleeping can help; pillows behind the knees when lying on the back and pillows between the knees and/or arms when side sleeping may ease prolapsed uterus symptoms and reduce pelvic pressure caused by uterine prolapse.
Whole body exercises that target the core and prolapsed pelvic floor can help to ease the pain and discomfort of prolapse by strengthening muscles that provide more support for pelvic organs. For rectal prolapse, your specialist may recommend bowel movement retraining which helps prevent strain by using relaxation exercises. They may also teach you how to identify, tighten, and release your pelvic floor muscles.
Your treatment will depend on how severe your symptoms are. If your pelvic organ prolapse isn’t causing you constant distress, then you can often treat it without surgery (i.e. a rehab program like RYC®, diet, monitoring, etc). However if symptoms get worse and significantly affect your quality of life, there are more extensive non-surgical and surgical treatments available for this condition as well.
Your prolapse symptoms can change in severity depending on what time of day it is. Some women notice that their pressure increases after they walk for a long period of time, and other times they feel better when sitting down or lying down. There is no one size fits all answer for this question, but if you take notice of how you feel you’ll know if it’s making it worse for you.
Although alternative exercise may relieve some bladder prolapse symptoms (cystocele), many people may need surgery. Your recovery time will depend on the length, type, and invasiveness of your procedure. In some cases, recovery times may only take up to a week or two and in others it may be over a month. When talking with your doctor, be sure to discuss recovery time and what is expected during your recovery.
If your prolapse causes few or no symptoms, simple self-care measures may provide relief or help prevent worsening prolapse. Self-care measures include doing exercises that not only strengthen your pelvic muscles, but also ensure they are responsive and not too rigid. The RYC® program is specifically designed with exercises that do exactly this.
Many women diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse – including bladder prolapse (cystocele), rectocele, or uterine prolapse – want a natural, effective alternative to surgery. A common question is: Is there a structured, safe, and proven program to actually help heal prolapse symptoms at home?
