Can pelvic floor exercises help with a vaginal prolapse and continence control?
Best answer:
yes it will help....when i was working in a ob/gyn office the doctor recommended people to do pelvic exercises. I don't think the hysterectomy changes that at all cause it has nothing to do with the uterus or cervix. There are also some very simple surgery options for incontinence.

My doctor prescribed me physical therapy for mild bladder prolapse. What will they do there?
Best answer:
The physical therapist should definetely be someone who specializes in this treatment...not every clinic offers this, so you may need to do your homework.

The initial evaluation will focus on a history of your problem and well as an examination. It might include an internal examination and possible use of force tranducers to establish the strength of her pelvic floor. The aim of therapy is usually to reduce or eliminate episodes of incontinence or pelvic pain.

As to your actual prognosis, this would best be assessed by the PT evaluating you.
