Stress

Body: 

Does anyone have experience of stress worsening their prolapse? I live in the uk and am in the process of moving house. It is not a long chain but a couple of people are being very difficult which is putting me under a great deal of pressure. Over the last couple of days my prolapse symptoms have worsened, especially after using the loo. I had seen great improvements with the whole woman work and would like to get back to that position. I'm really concentrating on posture and good toileting practices. Can stress really do this and is there anything else I can do to improve again?

Absolutely, stress is a factor to worsening prolapse symptoms, but like anything that sets us back, we need to be conscious of what can set off worsening symptoms, and then know we have the tools to get back on track with the whole woman work.

I believe this is one of the biggest reasons why you need to really work on making this posture automatic. Once you do, and you find you no longer have to think about it constantly in order to remember to stay in posture, you can get through periods of stress without losing too much ground. I've been on both sides of this problem and I know. - Surviving
