Amazing Kegelmaster

i have it sugar baths and fed it some veggie oil from a dropper and got the prolapse to shrink. but there is no where in my area to take her. is there any way to reinsert it from home without causing more problems?

I had a male with this issue last year. I did the warm baths and put preparation H on it (vet’s suggestion) every day for months. I kept him on papertowels which I kept lightly misted so his raw tissue would stick or tear. With a latex glove on my hand and a LOT of prepH, I tried to gently push the prolapsed tissue back in. It wouldn’t stay. The swollen tissue just popped back out.

But the gecko was still eating and acting healthy so I just kept on treating him. Then one day, like magic, he was better. It just went back in on its own! Unless your gecko is suffering, just give her time and keep the area moist and clean.

Good luck!

I have mitral mitral valve prolapse, I want to continue lifting weights.. Can i lift weights?

It depends on the extent of mitral regurgitation your MVP has – mild or big.

OK. Let me put it this way. If a person has mild MVP, he/she needs no restriction of exercise. But if the MVP is big, then it is a different thing. Because, though complications in this condition are very less, people who suffer from this condition have to take extreme care. You may have to cut down on your physical activity, have a surgery and may be put you on medications like beta blockers.

Weight lifting needs heavy exertion. So for person with big MVP, this might pose problems. Ultimately, if the doctor who assesses such a person feels that such a person has enough reserve to exert, then that is the verdict.

There is nothing impossible in this world!!

Also what other diseases have these symptoms?
-Sharp parn in heart area
-Breathlees
-Nosebleed

Go to the hospital if you have these symptoms.
An echo or ecg can help diagnose it.

My female friend has an excellent body or shape? She has a HUGE Butt. The problem is that she is really stretched out. She can’t afford surgery. Kegel exercises does not work for her. What can she do.

Women’s private parts don’t ‘wear out’. You’re misinformed. Please read the article linked below.

I’m 17.
Okay, in the mornings, I have normal formed stools, but the last stools always contain mucous.

I poo 1-2 times a day.

Lately, I keep having lots of anxiety, and at school, I have the fear of pooping in the stalls.

Should I be worried about a rectal prolapse?

Rectal prolapse is something that very rarely happens at all and when it does it happens to old fogies like me. Your poo action is normal- chill and stop reading those online symptom checkers- lol!

I’m pregnant with my first and have been doing a lot of reading lately about elective c-sections. That’s where a woman chooses a c-section herself and does not attempt vaginal birth.

The reason many women pick this is because vaginal delivery causes urinary and sometimes bowel incontinence that can last a very long time (if not forever), and also uterine prolapse later in life. Elective c-sections, i.e., NOT emergency ones where you’ve already been in labor for awhile, reduces the incidence of these problems. Also, it is now such a safe surgery that OB’s are calling the risks and benefits of a vaginal vs. c-section to be "a wash."

At first I wanted a vaginal birth 100%, I didn’t want unnecessary abdominal surgery, I wasn’t afraid of pain or anything, etc. etc. but the more I read about it in large scientific studies, the less I believe that’s such a good idea.

This is partly because "natural" childbirth isn’t so natural anymore! The female pelvis has been accommodating 6 lb infants for much of prehistory, and now the average Western kid weighs 8 lbs at birth in some areas! According to the best research, more than half of all female bodies can’t handle an infant of this size "naturally" without causing some real damage to the muscles and nerves of the pelvic floor. I was stunned to read how common these problems were and how long they lasted – for many years in a significant number of cases. Nobody told me – and I feel like I didn’t sign up for that.

I am therefore strongly considering an elective c section. Sure, a perfect vaginal birth is the best option – but there is no guarantee that anybody’s birth can be really uncomplicated or perfect. I think I am changing my mind about it.

When I say this, I get a lot of strong negative opinions on elective c sections from women, and I am puzzled as to where this vitriol comes from. Are people merely afraid of surgery, or they just don’t like Western medicine, or they want you to suffer as much as they did, or what? It seems like a really viable option to me, since the modern c-section is such a safe procedure in 2010.

There are risks and benefits with both, so you just have to weigh those risks and choose which ones you can best handle.
It’s very rare but incontinence can happen through cesarean too, if the doctor accidentally cuts the bladder or bowels. Either way giving birth is risky.

That being said, I had a wonderful c-section experience. I had little to no pain and could move just fine and take care of my baby perfectly as soon as the catheter was removed. I prefer the c-section over vaginal any day!

I have a medical condition that has started to cause me to have urinary incontinence. There is a surgery but before I can get the surgery I’ll have to just deal with it for about a month. Since I am allergic to most medications my best option is diapers. It is very embarrassing. But since I need to wear diapers I wanted to know what would be more comfortable. Comfort is the only concern here.

I like depend fitted briefs they have never leaked for me and they are as comfortable as diapers come.

I am in the 3rd month of my first pregnancy and am worried about the effects on a woman from giving birth vaginally. Before I thought much about it I thought, "of course, I’ll have an unmedicated vaginal delivery, because that’s the best way to go." But the more I read the big, long-term empirical studies with thousands of women in them, there seems to be a strong correlation between vaginal delivery and urinary incontinence and/or vaginal prolapse in a woman’s later life. Now of course many women who give birth vaginally don’t have these problems! But the literature seems to suggest that they are more prevalent in women who did so vs. c-section delivery, and that the WORST outcomes are in women who try to give birth vaginally end wind up having to have a c-section or forceps delivery anyway. Furthermore, I have also read a good bit about vaginal tearing and fecal incontinence, as well as loss of sexual sensation in women who have complicated vaginal deliveries. It makes it sound like it might not be the best bet for a woman, if she can avoid it, all "natural" considerations aside.

I want to make it clear that I am not concerned about the pain associated with vaginal birth. I am concerned about the long term effects on my health. My doctor is willing to perform an elective c section and I have confidence that he is more than capable of performing this (after all) pretty standard operation, but ya know, it’s major abdominal surgery too, with risks and potential complications of its own.

In fact when I asked my doc which was better, he said, "It’s basically a wash – there are benefits and drawbacks of each." I am interested in the reactions of others to this statement since I know elective c sections are both controversial and on the rise. Did you go one way, and wish you’d gone the other? Were you happy with your choice? Let me know how you view this option.

The risks that carrys from a vaginal birth are much lower than from csection not to mention the pain and the fact that you will have to fight for a vaginal birth (if you decide) with your next child as some doctors will not like to do VBACs. What you outline of the risks that a vaginal delivery can cause like prolapse, incontinence (which can also just come from age with a women who has never had kids) and loss of sexual satisfaction are all quite low. I myself have had two drug-free births and my first i tore and needed 6 stitches and my sex life had never been better and then i had my son which i had a small tear and graze with no stitches needed and my sex life is still great. As for the incontinence that can help helped a great deal by doing your pelvic floor exercises/kegals regularly during pregnancy and after and right through your life to help prevent this from happening. I don’t do them too much and sometimes experience a little bit of a leak if i sneeze if i have a full bladder but sometimes people who have never had children get this or even women who have had a csection as the pelvic floor has a lot of strain on it just from the pregnancy its self.

A complicated vaginal delivery all depends on many things but most of it starts from little interventions or just lack of knowledge on the mother behalf. Things like an assisted delivery by forceps or ventouse or very preventable. The key is KNOWLEDGE!
Here are just a few…..
# Follow Optimal Fetal Positioning during your third trimester to avoid your baby getting in a bad position which can highly effect how the labour can go and sometimes make it a harder labour ending up with forceps or ventouse
# Do NOT push on your back. Being on your back makes your pelvis much smaller and makes the chances of your baby getting stuck much much higher as they will often get stuck behind your coccyx bone. Being upright opens the pelvis right up and it is also easier for you to push and reduce the chances of tearing. Squatting can open up your pelvis by a major 30%
# Have an active birth. This means you do not get confined to the bed with monitored and that you get upright, change positions, walk around, go in the shower, hop in the tub, lean over a birthing ball
# Choose the right OB or even better to choose an independant midwife or care lead by midwives as the lowest rates of intervention happens at home with private midwives and with midwifery-led care, and the highest rates of intervention happen in private hospitals with private Obstetricians. However this is not to say that you can’t have a natural birth in a hospital – you just need to prepare yourself and your support team very well and be prepared to firmly stand your ground.
# Just get knowledge in general. Do your research. The more knowledge you have the more equiped you will be on how to have the best birth possible and how to avoid nasty interventions which you may constantly hear about.

I highly suggest you read
"Ina Mays Guide To Childbirth"

A MUST watch doco is
"The Business of Being Born"

and a great website (even though Australian based) which is full of wonderful information many women do not hear or learn about through their pregnancy….

I’m just curious and not sure if they really do work.
Anyone have positive feedback?

I do them regularly, and for me, they worked!
It took a while for me to notice a change (about a month of doing them almost every day)
But, if you do them properly and keep it up you will benifit.
