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.

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 am planning to take a health insurance policy for my parents. I also want to know which insurance company will claim the disk prolapse operation? Because my dad is suffering from disk back pain. I’d like to take such a plan. I am from pune. Working in software industry. My company is not providing for total family, but providing for me.

If you do buy a private plan, you father would most likely have to wait out a pre-existing clause exemption. This means he may have to wait a year or two before any surgery, or any medical care related to his back for that matter, would be covered. However, since you are not protected by the statutes of a group policy (those policies offered by an employer are often much more liberal), there is a possibility that anything ever related to his back would NOT be covered. This prevents people from buying insurance just to get covered for an expensive procedure and then ditching the coverage afterwards.

Aside from that, just about any major medical plan will cover back surgery, but for how much and under what limitations are going to depend on the personal provisions you elect to pay for in the policy. For someone with a known medical condition, I’d expect to pay well over $1,000 a month (probably close to 2) for his coverage on a good, private policy, and then have to wait a year or two to wait out any pre-existing clauses.

I can not get to the doc until next week but, for the past month, I’ve had random pain in my vagina, and occasional pain during intercourse.

I also now have the feeling that something is, "coming down" and, when looking at myself in the mirror, I see what looks like white tissue in my vagina. I am doing kegels like crazy now.

I do have one child but, at 27 definitely want more!

Any advice is helpful as I am extremely upset.

The short answer: yes, you should be able to have more children. It’s good that you made an appointment–it will help you to discuss your concerns and various options for treatment (ranges from exercises like Kegels to wearing a pessary to surgery and all depends upon how prolapsed you are and your own circumstances).

here’s a good website: http://www.pregnancytoday.com/articles/complications-cesareans/prolapsed-uterus-and-pregnancy-4113/

Here’s another answer from a Q&A site with a similar situation to yours: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Childbirth-3495/2008/4/question-prolapse-next-pregnancy.htm

We have a 19 yr old Jenny (donkey) that has prolapsed her vulva, would any one have a clue why? Is this deadly? I need help please any imput would be great.

May be a problem with connective tissue or elasticity. I suppose it may be similar to the reason that humans often have prolapse of the colon. And I’ve heard the female organ can turn partially inside out…

Would large fibroids contribute to a prolapse uterus and leaky bladder?

Prolapse of the uterus refers to the downward displacement of the vagina and uterus. The word prolapse is derived from the latin ‘procidere’ which means with effect to fall.

The uterus is held in position by adequate ligaments Besides, it has the support of the muscular structures of vagina and all other local tissues and muscles. Due to the laxity of support by muscles, tissue and ligaments, the uterus sags downwards.

The presence of fibroids can certainly complicate matters and place even more undue pressure on the downward advance of a woman’s organs. On the other hand, fibroids that are quite large can serve, in some ways, as a blocking mechanism to prolapse. Either way, the situation is most likely to be extremely uncomfortable. Surgery to repair any prolapse may require surgery to remove uterine fibroids at the same time. Under these circumstances, an urogynecologist — a gynecologist with advanced training in urology, specifically treatment of incontinence and prolapse — may be the best type of physician to consult.

The uterus is held in position by connective tissue, muscle, and special ligaments in the pelvis. The uterus drops into the vaginal canal (prolapses) when these muscles and connective tissues weaken.

Uterine prolapse usually happens in women who have had one or more vaginal births. Normal aging and lack of estrogen hormone after menopause may also cause uterine prolapse, as can chronic cough (such as a smoker’s cough) and obesity. Uterine prolapse can also be caused by a pelvic tumor, although this is rare.

Chronic constipation and the pushing associated with it can worsen uterine prolapse.

I am considering breast augmentation next month and I was diagnosed with MVP back in 2002. Will this effect anything?

Consult a cardiologist before undergoing cosmetic surgery. In the past, some people with mitral valve prolapse were given antibiotics before certain dental or surgical procedures to help prevent an infection called bacterial endocarditis (BE). However, the American Heart Association no longer recommends routine antibiotics before dental procedures or other surgical procedures for patients with only mitral valve prolapse, unless they have had bacterial endocarditis in the past.

Is it safe for her to have the H1N1 vaccine?

Yes, if she has a chronic health condition she would be a priority. She should get the shot, not the mist as the mist is only given to people without chronic health conditions.

Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) is a heart defect that can be repaired either by laser surgery (non-open surgery) or by open surgery. How much does this cost with or without insurance. I hope to get insurance soon. Is a heart murmur repairable?
