[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, pelvic floor physical therapy can help but it isn’t always a cure. A Post partum body will be forever postpartum it’s not gonna be the same as before. I have stress incontinence and a very mild prolapse. None of it was bad enough to warrant surgery per two Urogyns. I saw some improvement with two rounds with certified physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor disorders at VHC. They were very good and it’s an excellent program. However I still need to wear a liner every day just in case I have an unexpected cough or sneeze and I do not run/jump if I can help it. I just want to put that out there because sometimes I feel like pelvic floor physical therapy is presented as a cure all for this issue and it will certainly help but it is not always a cure-all for all women[/quote]

Agree with this…but my question continues to be, why don’t ob gyns warn about all of the permanent negative body changes beforehand? I knew all about post partum hair loss, stretch marks, etc, but never knew about prolapse or dreamed I’d have bathroom issues like an 80 year old man in my 30s. Had I known, I would have made a different choice about delivery method and may have decided not to have kids. I doubt many women are in my boat on the second point, but running was my life before my kid and I wanted it to be a large part after. I also didn’t want all of my toileting organs gathered together in my vagina, which seems like a reasonable ask.

To the OP — I’m sorry; this sucks. I wish there were better answers. [/quote]
