Question 2

i want to know my options for treating pelvic support problems?

Accepted Answer

Pessary vs surgery: You can do kegel exercises to help lift the walls that have dropped minimally. For moderate to severe prolapse a person usually needs something mechanical done (either use a pessary or have surgery to lift the organs back into their proper position). Surgery includes using own tissue, cadaver tissue, pig tissue, suture mesh) and can be done vaginally or abdominally.

Kegel exercises: Frequent kegel exercises, fast, slow and holding, 50 times a day will help. Keep your weight down and your core strong so your center of gravity doesnt shift. Avoid heavy lifting that isnt necessary and dont gain too much weight during any pregnancy.

Yes: It certainly can! the exact surgery (or trauma) involved, and whether this is in a man or a woman will help identify clearly the possible problems. But healthy nerves are critical for normal sexual function, as are healthy blood vessels and circulation. Medications can cause problems as well.

Question 6

i'm having pelvic pain, dizziness, nipple sensitivity, and flutters. my tubes are tied, what could be the causes of this problems?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: If pain gets worse then go to ER. Without asking other questions or examination, I am unable to say for sure.  Nothing is 100% and one can still get pregnant with a tubal.  If you have had a tubal ligation then you are at increased risk of tubal(ectopic) pregnancy.  Because of the dizziness and flutters you are better off getting checked out sooner than later
