prolapsed pelvic organs

I recently purchased Christine's video and have been doing the exercises. My doctor feels that my condition is at least partly hereditary due to my grandmother and mother having the same condition. What's the average turnaround time to see any improvement? Would you recommend doing the exercises daily or twice daily? Sometimes after I do the exercises, it seems my uterus drops further out--is this normal?

Thank you for your response. I look forward to continuing the posturing and exercises. Thanks, Christine, for a job well done in your researching and producing a video on prolapse. Thank heaven there are alternatives to surgery (especially when it's not necessary!)

I always try to look up the profile before I write to someone. Your profile says "Male" so is it really possible that you have a prolapsed uterus. Hmmmmm, Nancy

Hi Turtle,

I don't have time to respond in full this evening, but will write more in the a.m. This program defaults to "male" unless you select "female" - one of the changes we will make with the new website in the next few weeks.

Thanks, Nancy for your quick response. I apologize for the incorrect information; I didn't complete the profile, so I guess it automatically came up "male." I am indeed a female. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Christine, I apologize for the listing of "male"; I neglected to complete the Profile, so it may have come up automatically as male. I am indeed a female!; sorry for the confusion. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks a lot!

Dear Turtle,

My apologies! That silly program has caused confusion again and again

Hi,
I read in an article once instead of straining when you sit on the toilet blow out gently during a b.m.
I have tried it and it works for me.
Hope this helps others.
Flora.

Turtle, Now that we've gotten things straightened out, I would like to respond to that question! It took me about 2 months to see any improvements. But the time went quickly and I'm sure the change in my diet helped. I haven't had red meat in about 2 months now! Seemed like every time I'd eat a little of that, my prolapse would really get a lot worse. Christines' video, and kegels helped a lot. Taking it easier these days. I'm 61, so really I'm entitled to do that now! Take care, Nancy

I am due to an TVT and or anterior repair operation in October, but am not decided at all, the more I read about it, the less I want to go through that. I have stress incontinence with cystocele level 1. Done some physio, but not very seriously and just fell on your site Christine and would like to ask you a few questions, before I buy the DVD.
Are your exercises created by you or is it a mixture of different
techniques, like Alexander, Kegel, yoga etc.?
How long will I have to exercise every day?
What more will your exercices bring me than the physio's exercices?
Over exercising is can also make things worst.
When has your DVD come out?
What will the book bring more than DVD?
Heard about seat cold baths? Thought it could help to tighten the mussels?
Is your DVD for prolapse or incontinence or it all?
Thanks for your answers. Corinne
