5 out of 5 stars

A lot has happened since I posted last and I have not been on here for quite a while. I'm having trouble navigating on this updated site and don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this but wanted to report I am still successfully using tampons once in awhile for prolapse. I am happy with my discovery about this issue.

I'm in my 70's and have a stage 3 uterine prolapse. I welcome any advise about using a sea sponge for support.

I've tried tampons, and while they do hold everything in place ... which is wonderful ...they become uncomfortable.

Too dense and dry, even with some lubricant on the tip. Since there is more chance of getting a bladder infection when there is a prolapse, I am concerned about the keeping a sponge sanitary. Any insight would be appreciated.

Has your doctor suggested a special girdle to help hold things in place? I would look into it.

Dear Leanne,

I am so sorry to hear it. Prolapse is miserable.

I have found that drinking 3-4 cups of red raspberry leaf tea daily does help with prolapse.

Also, I go to a physical therapist that specializes in prolapse. She has helped me a lot.

Hello Leanne,

There are two women who reversed their stage 3 prolapse using holistic remedies that addressed the root causes. Some of which involve scar tissue remediation (scar tissue myofascial release), specific exercises called the Hypopressive method, skeletal misalignment treatments, diet, essential oils, steaming, etc....

2. https://www.wholewoman.com

Christine Kent, RN, Founder - resolves skeletal misalignment as a cause.

I hope their experiences and cures offer further inspiration and insight to you!

I have done much for uterine prolapse. Some things I have done are I think are "universal". 1) 2 Raspberry leaf tea bags (or 2 teaspoons loose) steeped at least 15 minutes to get max benefit. 2). Bath Epsom salts with essential oils (consult an aromatherapist or essential oil book for women and babies). Depending upon how miserable Soak 1-3 times a day for 20-45 min. 3) DHEA/Estriol suppository is a must (hyaluronic acid suppository if cancer challenged).

Where does one get a DHEA/Estriol suppository?

My doctor didn't suggest any kind of support, however I did find one online, that has also been mentioned on this site. I wear it every day, and it does help to keep the prolapse more contained.

Hi Leanne, what kind of support are You wearing for prolapsed bladder?

Replied By Leanne (Capitola CA) on 10/05/2023

Thank you for the raspberry leaf tea idea. There is an herb store near me, so I will make a strong brew and report back the results ... after I try it for a bit.

I went to a physical therapist a couple of years ago, but not one who specialized in prolapse. Didn't realize that there was a speciality.
