A member asked:

Will pelvic floor rehab really help a prolapse bladder?

Dr. PAUL EUN answered

In early stage: It may be very helpful in early stages of the prolapse, but not so in more advanced stages. However, ther are other nonsurgical options such as pessary (device you place in the vagina to keep the bladder inside).
