Uterus prolapse?
Best answer:
I am afraid exercise might not be the remedy, I suggest you read a bit (if you hadn't already) what I found on the net and then go consult your gynecologist

Would large fibroids contribute to a prolapse uterus?
Best answer:
Yes, this is a common cause for prolapse.

www.nuff.org is a great site for people dealing with fibroids and gives treatment options, answers questions, etc.Prolapse of the uterus refers to the downward displacement of the vagina and uterus. The word prolapse is derived from the latin 'procidere' which means with effect to fall.

The uterus is held in position by adequate ligaments Besides, it has the support of the muscular structures of vagina and all other local tissues and muscles. Due to the laxity of support by muscles, tissue and ligaments, the uterus sags downwards.

The presence of fibroids can certainly complicate matters and place even more undue pressure on the downward advance of a woman's organs. On the other hand, fibroids that are quite large can serve, in some ways, as a blocking mechanism to prolapse. Either way, the situation is most likely to be extremely uncomfortable. Surgery to repair any prolapse may require surgery to remove uterine fibroids at the same time. Under these circumstances, an urogynecologist -- a gynecologist with advanced training in urology, specifically treatment of incontinence and prolapse -- may be the best type of physician to consult.

The uterus is held in position by connective tissue, muscle, and special ligaments in the pelvis. The uterus drops into the vaginal canal (prolapses) when these muscles and connective tissues weaken.

Uterine prolapse usually happens in women who have had one or more vaginal births. Normal aging and lack of estrogen hormone after menopause may also cause uterine prolapse, as can chronic cough (such as a smoker's cough) and obesity. Uterine prolapse can also be caused by a pelvic tumor, although this is rare.

Chronic constipation and the pushing associated with it can worsen uterine prolapse.
