    Cystocele (Prolapsed Bladder) Remedies

    Updated: 12/29/2011

    rss feed

    "A cystocele occurs when the wall between a woman's bladder and vagina weakens and stretches, allowing the bladder to bulge into the vagina. A cystocele may also be called a prolapsed bladder.

    A cystocele may occur from excessive straining, such as during childbirth, chronic constipation or heavy lifting. It may also occur after menopause, when estrogen decreases. Therefore, older women and those who've given birth to several children are more likely to develop a cystocele."

    [YEA]  01/28/2010: Anke from Esher, Surrey, United Kingdom: "I had a stage 2 cystocele and it improved about 90% with the following:

    Daily kegel exercises, as many as possible. Start slowly and work up to 10-20 an hour. I added a vaginal exerciser for resistance, it made a big difference

    Acupuncture, 3 times a week! over 2 months, plus herbs to build blood (had hemorrhaged postpartum which had made me very weak). This made a huge difference but it has to be frequent. In China they'd have daily treatment.

    Jin Shin Jyutsu ( a form of acupressure) self help and sessions with the same purpose of increasing the ascending energy which hold organs in place. Work on spleen, umbilicus, kidney meridians etc. This is a good substitute if acupuncture is unaffordable, as you can do it yourself.

    Yoga, all inverted poses and forward bends with breath work. I took some private Yoga lessons for this problem and it does help.

    And of course good nutrition to nourish blood and overall energy. Exhaustion and depletion can lead to prolapse - in Chinese Medicine it is known as "collapsed qi".

    Good luck!"

    [NAY]  04/17/2009: Sandra from London, U.K.: "Hi

    Does anyone know of anything that helps get rid of prolapses?

    I've had a prolapse of the bladder for a few years, it's where an organ in my case the bladder, (but it can be other organs like the uterus), falls out of position. In some extreme cases the uterus can come outside of the body, but my case isn't as extreme as that.

    I've tried a lot, acupuncture, herbs (chinese and western),arvingo abdominal massage, castor oil packs, visualisation, supplements, maca, bluegreen algae, blackstap just to improve my nutrition and I'm fairly healthy, but it's resistant to any change.

    I'd love to hear from anyone out there who was able to do anything about this condition or has any tips. I do worry about what will happen in my forties, whether it will get much worse, lead to another prolapse etc..

    Thanks"

    [YEA]  02/05/2010: Tanya from Townsville, Queensland, Australia: "My bladder weakness and slight prolapse is improved with rebounding on a mini trampoline. I do kegel pelvic floor exercises, albeit inconsistently, however rebounding 7 mins twice daily (I started at 2 mins and build by 1 daily) has given me the best result. After 1 week I have already noticed that leakage on jumping is almost nonexistent."

    02/07/2010: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, France replies: "I am suprised not to find rebounding (or trampolining as we call it here in Europe), mentioned more often on this site. I discovered it a while ago when I was trying to diminish my myopia. Rebounding works for a lot of ailments and is a great way to exercise too. First I bought a cheap one in a sports shop and after that a more expensive one from my optometrist. I really prefer the second one and never use the first one anymore although the second one is many times more expensive. I would say that if you didn't try the better ones you will be perfectly happy with the cheaper version. I bought a great exercise DVD (a pity one can't name products here) and I really have great fun. Many times I just play some CD I like and do the moves I want. If the weather is good I do it outside on the terrace. I would really recommend this kind of exercise to anybody, young and old and if you have children this is also a great way to have fun and stay healthy and fit at the same time! The benefits of rebounding are huge, you can look them up on the Internet. I couldn't believe it that I had never heard of it other than as a play tool for children."

    [NAY]  09/04/2011: Gingermegs from Sydney, Nsw Australia replies: "WARNING- I tried rebounding and it made me get a prolapse or at least made a slight one much worse. I googled this and several women and sites said rebounding can cause it.

    I am going to be checked by a specialist and may need surgery. It is much more pronounced when I am tired. I have Sjogren's which makes me constipated. I used to be able to strenghthen my bladder with Kegels, but it is just getting worse as I get closer to 60."

    10/24/2011: Christina from Dallas, Texas replies: "Two things I have heard of to help vaginal or bladder prolaspe. One is called the Kegelmaster. It is mechanical device you buy and use daily and follow the instructions to strengthen the muscles. Also there are vaginal weights that you can buy that are suppose to help, They start at a certain size and go up as your muscles get stronger."
    12/29/2011: Lolly from Monsey, Ny - Usa replies: "It's a bit difficult to recommend a garment that works amazing without mentioning a name. So, this garment is a feminine support garment and you can do a search on Google. It's a garment made and manufactured in the USA and on the market for about 12 years. Their website is all pink, so you will know if you found the correct site.

    It's an amazing product that lifts the prolapse with external pressure and is quite comfortable.

    Good luck! Lolly"
