Internal organ prolapse is a lower than normal location of one or more internal organs (stomach, liver, intestines, kidneys, etc.). The most common causes of this disease: lack of proper preparation for childbirth and recovery measures after childbirth, age, especially after the onset of menopause; heavy physical labor, chronic cough, metabolic disorders (overweight, diabetes) and others.
It is also associated with weakness of the muscles and ligaments that hold the internal organs in their normal position. Muscle and ligament insufficiency can be congenital and due to constitutional asthenia. Acquired muscle and ligament insufficiency results from weakening and overstretching of the ligamentous apparatus and abdominal muscles. As a result of hypotonia of the muscles surrounding the abdomen and pelvic floor, their supporting function is impaired: the stomach, intestines and pelvic organs are displaced downward, and the ligaments holding them in place are overstretched.
This problem used to be the domain of the elderly, but in recent years, internal organ prolapse has become increasingly common in middle-aged people and even in young people. The disease primarily threatens narrow-shouldered and thin-boned asthenics with overstretched connective tissue. Their insides may droop with constant physical overstrain and chronic fatigue, when the neuromuscular tone decreases.
Diagnosis based on initial symptoms
A persistent aching and pulling pain in the abdomen may indicate a prolapse of the stomach and intestines. Unpleasant sensations usually occur in an upright position and subside when you lie down. In the case of kidney prolapse, pain in the lumbar region bothers. If it is joined by a pulling pain in the lower abdomen and sacrum, there are episodes of urinary incontinence when coughing, sneezing, laughing, physical exertion, it is possible that the uterus and vagina are prolapsed, which sometimes ends with their prolapse.
What should you do if you are diagnosed with prolapse?
Today, the usual solution is surgery, however, as practice shows, there is a possibility of recurrence, depending on many reasons, and it is impossible to take into account and prevent all factors. In addition, when making a decision, it should be taken into account that any surgery is a last resort, which should be resorted to only when all other methods have failed.
Do not rely on a bandage – it will only aggravate the problem. After a temporary improvement, which may last 1-2 years, the symptoms of the disease begin to bother with triple force: pain increases, there are untreatable constipation and nausea. There is a general weakness, increased fatigue and irritability, sleep is disturbed. The person realizes, he is ready to train as much as he wants to relieve his condition. However, it is very difficult to help him: the muscles, accustomed to inactivity under the bandage, have finally atrophied and are not able to provide the slightest support to the lowered organs.
Myths about internal organ prolapse
Patients are often influenced by widespread myths and misconceptions about the treatment of their condition. The source of this erroneous information is usually non-specialists. This can include unqualified or inadequately informed physicians. After all, in the system of medical education for both gynecologists and urologists, corresponding to the current level of information on diagnosis and treatment of pelvic organ prolapse in women and its consequences – practically absent. To the sources of false information quite often can be attributed advertising publications in the media, rumors and opinions from girlfriends, etc. So, we will focus on the most common myths about pelvic prolapse.
● Myth one: Folk medicine methods will not help, it is all the same to do surgery. A huge number of women perfectly avoid surgery associated with pelvic organ prolapse by undergoing a few sessions of visceral abdominal therapy
● Myth Two: The main thing is to get a referral for surgery, and then everything will be fine. (“I just need a uterus stitch”, “remove uterine prolapse”). Pelvic surgery requires mastery of the most complex surgical techniques, so focused specialization and high qualification of the doctor are necessary. In most countries, doctors study urogynecology, pelvic medicine and reconstructive pelvic surgery for several more years after medical education. It is therefore important to be aware of the complexity of the treatment and not to use terms such as “stitching” and not to use the services of doctors who use these terms to describe the operation they offer you – most likely they do not know how to do it correctly.
● Myth Three: There is no need to treat prolapse. (“All my friends have it, so it must be so”, “Everyone gets it as they get older”, “It’s a woman’s lot and you have to accept it”). Prolapse does affect about 40 to 50% of women. It is more common with age, but not in everyone, and on the other hand, it often develops in young women as well. It is not the norm, but a disease. It can be cured and feel full again, because a woman’s share is the preservation of the home and the creation of comfort in the family, and this requires health and an inner sense of well-being. So why suffer in vain?
● Myth four: Once you have had surgery, you can forget about prolapse. If you have had surgery, then after some time you just need to do exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, because your body is even more weakened by surgery, and therefore requires constant attention and systematic strengthening in order to avoid the need for repeated surgery
We managed to generalize the experience of folk medicine and create a therapeutic and prophylactic technique that allows us to restore normal mobility and location of organs without surgery. In this regard, it is important to diagnose the disease and accurately determine the causes of organ prolapse. Only a comprehensive examination will allow you to correctly identify the causes of organ prolapse, prioritize and choose the right treatment tactics.
The problem of organ prolapse, we propose to solve as follows:
● Lifting an organ with visceral muscle therapy
● Restoring the balance of the ligaments that ensure the correct positioning of the organ
● Strengthening the ligaments and muscles of the pelvic floor and abdominal abs with a special set of exercises
● Teaching therapeutic gymnastics for home exercises
As a result, the use of folk medicine methods can normalize the balance of the muscle corset, holding the internal organ, and finally normalize the location of the organ, as well as correct posture, get rid of pelvic pain, excess weight, back pain, and literally after a few sessions, feel healthier, stronger, younger.
And most importantly – WITHOUT surgery or drugs!
