Prolapse
30. maí 2024
How to know if you have prolapse after giving birth (postpartum)? Do they heal naturally? What signs are there to look out for and when do you need to contact your health provider?
Hi and thank you for the request,
Prolapse is quite common after birth but can be mild or more severe. Therefore the healing process can take few weeks up to months. There are many ways to help with the process such as physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises. I advise you to see a specialist if you are concerned about your symptoms. A gynecologist can help assess the severity of the prolapse and give you information about appropriate treatment. Good luck.
