bladder prolapse at 20 years old, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Urogynecologist: I would see a uro-gnecologist. They specialize in urological issues in females. There is a suspension surgery to pull the bladder up and suture it in place.
The urogyn or urologist would be able to offer you all of the current options. Make sure to discuss the risks and benefits of each.

Question 5

is there an alternative to surgery for severe bladder prolapse?

Accepted Answer

Prolapse bladder: Prolapse of any or all of the pelvic organs, bladder, uterus, rectum, vagina or hemorrhoids is a challenging problem. The first step after diagnosis is physical therapy, aka kegel exercises. Most patients get a good initial response and then make an informed decision about surgical repair. Okay to take a friend/family for the risk/benefit analysis appointment with your surgeon., .

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can repair a cystocele without having a hysterectomy.

: This condition is quite normal for your age. Your urologist will explain this to you and probably recommend  you wear a diaper. Carry an extra pair of underpants when out and about.

Question 8

i love walking but now that i have bladder prolapse i am afraid it will make it worse. will it help or make my prolapse worse?
