\n\n\n\n

Perform Routine Floor Muscle Workouts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kegel workouts can aid in bolstering a woman\u2019s pelvic floor muscles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since pelvic organ prolapse weakens the uterus, bladder, and rectum, it can prompt them to drop further to the vaginal, worsening the condition. However, with sustained and repetitive kegel workouts, this problem can be quickly eased, stopping it from worsening. This is because these exercises gradually strengthen the muscles, which helps the body to fight off prolapse.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To perform a kegel workout, go through the motions in a manner that would seem like you intend to pee. Then, rather than releasing it, contract your muscles to prevent the flow of urine midstream. Keep those muscles tightened for 5-10 seconds. Then, release them for the same timeframe. Repeat the same five times. Intensify the workout by holding for at least 10 seconds and releasing for the same time. Upgrade on that and try to perform 20 repetitions at a go and retake three times a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, Kegel workouts may feel somewhat awkward. However, once the pelvic muscles become stronger, you will find it more comfortable to perform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Regular<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Constipation is another cause of pelvic organ prolapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequent constipation can at times denote pelvic prolapse. Take the necessary measures to prevent constipation and possibly ease the difficulties whenever you poop. This can be easily achieved with simple diet modifications, such as regular water intake, including fruits and veggies into your diet, consuming food densely packed in fiber, and keeping off foods with low levels of fiber, especially when constipating, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Overburden Yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re enduring pelvic organ prolapse, steer clear of things that could deteriorate it further. In such a case, avoid lifting, pulling, or straining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try as much as possible not to stay on your feet for prolonged periods. Standing for extended periods can build up pressure on some women. If the symptoms worsen after an intense workout, simply opt for moderate exercises that work well for your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Quit Smoking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smoking does more harm than good as it weakens the tissues surrounding your pelvic muscles. Moreover, it prompts you to cough, making your symptoms more severe. On the other hand, if you\u2019re overweight, consider shedding off the extra kilos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra weight causes pressure to mount on your pelvis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
