Estrogen Ring?

Body: 

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience using the estrogen ring? I have a fallen bladder and my OBGyn has recommended the ring. It is supposed to keep the estrogen within the ring and help keep the bladder back in place. Any discomfort level? I am post menopausal.
Otherwise, is it safe with a fallen bladder to insert tampons (I use one tampon when I take a bath) or to have sex? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

HI Fallingapart, and welcome!
Don't know if you've had time to look around yet, but you'll find lots of info here . Christine's work can radically affect prolapses naturally, so it's great you found WW! If you are able to, getting the book / DVD is great as it explains it all very clearly, and heps to understand about the posture in greater depth. Christine's postural work is key to WW, and has make a radical difference to lots of POPs. Add to that the exercises, and you should see a huge difference in your body.

regarding your post...estrogen ring. Is this the same as the nuvaring?
if so, there is a thread about it from quite recently. go to the recent posts tab on the left, and click on page 2 and you should find it there (unless lots of people post on new threads today, in which case it might be on page 3!)
it's called "nuvaring".

re tampons, i'm curious why you use one when you take a bath? just curious, as haven't heard that before.
i however use a tampon whenever i need extra support, and as long as it is not irritating you, it's absolutely fine, though the only thing i am aware of is that if i have a tampon in i won't hear my body say "hey, this is too much!" so be aware of lifting etc if you have one in. other people find sea sponges work really well too.

sex is absolutely fine, and lots of women find it helps give things a little lift which is of course a great bonus ;-) you may find some positions aren't as comfortable, but i've found that was only at the beginning and since i'm improved so much not an issue. even then, there are lots to try from...

keep asking away and let us know how you are getting on!

Thanks for your input and information. Will check out the info. on the nuvaring. Have always used a tampon since had stage 1 on pap test years ago...used to shave my legs in the tub as well. Seems to have kept me clear of another pap test issue.
