Cycling?

Body: 

Is cycling safe with a cystocele? How about spinning classes? I can't find this info anywhere online.

I am no expert but I just wanted to add my two cents. I have used a regular exercise bike and the recumbent bike and have had no problems. A few years ago I used to take spinning all the time. While I loved the class I used to always complain to my friends that "my stuff" hurt. I hadn't been diagnosed with prolapse yet. I tried the gel seat and the gel shorts to no avail. I seemed to be the only one with the complaint. In any event, my advise is to try it and to listen to your body. If it hurts, is straining or uncomfortable don't do it.

Hope that helps! Keep exercising, there is so much that we can still do!!!

I also went to a spinning class about a month ago. My sit bones were sore for a month. When I tried the class after a month of rest, I brought seat pad with me. After 5 mintues of the class I had to leave! I agree, if it hurts, stop. When I was in highschool I did those classes all the time. Oh well, things have changed.
