what do you think

Body: 

I have a urethral prolapse and Rectocele,Do I need to see a specialist?I dont want an opp and was wondering about Pessaries I have been using Kegels from my Physio and Neurotrac Pelvitone and have noticed I dont need the loo so much but have ordered the DVd for Whole woman and cant wait for it to come.Any replies would be most welcome Thanks.

Great that you have made a start and aare making some progress already. Looking forward to hearing how you go with the DVD. Posture is really the key component.

Whether or not you see a specialist is up to you. They can tell you a lot of stuff, some of which is well-intentioned medical myth, some of which is not helpful, and some of which is useful. I personally don't think that most of them *understand* pelvic organ prolapse because they have been taught with an incomplete model that does not look at POP as it affects a standing woman. It is based on a horizontal model. Most women don't experience POP symptoms when horizontal, so how can horizontally conceived and done surgical procedures work for 'restoring' a woman's pelvic supports, so that she doesn't experience symptoms when vertical?
