Is there a non-surgical fix to prolapsed uterus
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: A pessary is sometimes inserted into the vagina to support the uterus and surrounding structure.

Not really: There are only three choices for any pelvic support problem - do nothing, wear a pessary, or surgery. As the problem is due to stretching of connective tissue, kegel exercises will not fix the problem. Wearing a pessary helps hold things in place but is not a fix and has some unpleasant side effects. If the patient is young, health, and active, surgery is the best option.
