You might have heard horror stories of vaginas turning inside out and the uterus actually coming out of the vagina! At first, you might think these stories are exaggerated to just scare you from ever having children, but sadly, it’s actually true. Vaginal prolapse is a real thing and it can happen to women everywhere.

 

What is Vaginal Prolapse?

Before we answer that question, let’s have a quick crash course on the female anatomy to get a better understanding for the cause of a vaginal prolapse.

 

pelvic collapse

 

The area between where you pee and poop is called the perineal area and it’s made up of a bunch of muscles, ligaments, and skin that work together so you can have full control on everything that’s happening down there. They are the reason why you can hold in your pee, your poop, and are also responsible for vaginal tightness and tone.

These muscles are called the pelvic floor muscles. Think of these group of muscles as a mesh that keeps everything in place and prevents your organs from sliding down.

If there is weakness in the pelvic muscles, they can’t do a great job in holding the organs up and keeping them where they are supposed to be. Body parts such as the uterus, rectum, bladder, vagina and uterus will begin to fall out of their normal position, resulting in a Prolapse.

 

Causes of Vaginal Prolapse

As we just discussed, the pelvic floor muscles keep everything in place and overtime they can get weak. Imagine a hammock made of cloth that is holding a bunch of big rocks. Overtime, it will stretch, wear out, and give in. The same concept applies to our torso; the heavier the torso gets, the faster the pelvic muscles give in. That’s why obese women and those who have been pregnant are more prone to vaginal prolapse.

 

The common causes for weakened pelvic muscles are:

  • Obesity
  • Chronic coughing
  • Constipation or intense straining during defecation
  • Pregnancy
  • Childbirth
  • Estrogen deficiency

 

How Estrogen Deficiency Causes Vaginal Prolapse

Estrogen is the one that helps keep the pelvic muscles intact. It’s responsible for muscle strength, elasticity and tone. So, when there is no estrogen in the body to keep the pelvic muscles strong, the organs that it’s suppose to hold up and keep in place will slowly descend.

 

Estrogen not only keeps the pelvic muscles strong, but it also maintains the health of our sex organs.

Treatment for Vaginal Prolapse

If you get vaginal prolapse, there will be a small window where you can do your best to strengthen your vaginal and pelvic muscles. You can do it through exercise and with the help of herbal supplements such as Kacip Fatimah and Morinda Citrifolia.

If you missed that window of opportunity and leave your Vaginal Prolapse untreated, it won’t go away…it will only get worse. When it gets worse, meaning when you can see the insides of your vagina coming out of your body, the only treatment now is surgery. At this point no matter how much exercise you do there is no way that you can suck in the prolapsed vagina.

Prevention is a million times better than waiting for a vaginal prolapse to happen!

Natural Remedies to Prevent Vaginal Prolapse

Think of the vagina as a sock inside another sock. When pelvic muscles are strong, they are able to hold the vagina and surrounding organs in place.vagina

 

If the outermost sock gets loose, the inner sock will slowly slide out. So if pelvic muscles become weak, the vagina could prolapse and start sliding out of the body.

3) Herbal Supplements with Phytoestrogen

Vaginal muscle weakening happens not because your vagina needs to exercise more, but because your body needs more estrogen. As we grow old, the body produces less and less estrogen until it completely stops producing it all. This period in a woman’s life is called menopause, and no one is exempted from this wonderful life event.

Another cause for vaginal muscle weakness is pregnancy and childbirth. Luckily, you can easily take phytoestrogen to help your body strengthen vaginal and pelvic muscles.
