Actually, virtual PT is completely useless. You DO NOT get the same experience as an in person visit. No one will ever convince me. Same with a doctor visit. You need to exam the person, in person. You just want to work from home

This was soooo good. Was just prescribed while breastfeeding! I’m just curious when you can stop. Once breastfeeding stops? I typically nurse for 2 years…

Come tell my wife to get her lazy ass up. 😅😅😅😅😅😅

Hi, is it true that once you’ve reached stage 2 prolapse, no exercises will help?

I have a chronically tight left obturator internus muscle which really messes with my pelvic muscles. I’m shocked at how much difficult it is for me to do this exercise despite being in shape. I’m gonna keep developing this ! Maybe this gets at the crux of the problem for me

I have had a pessary put in two weeks ago...the ring type, i suddenly had a sharp pain coming up to my navel and it was not gojng away, also i found when i went to urinate i had a burning in my bladder and that was stopping me from wanting to go to the bathroom just because i did not want the burning, so i promptly took it out, im a heart patient and i didnt want inflammation, i used some herbal stuff included aloes, probiotics and its stopped burning. I have a clinic appointment soon but i don't think I want the risk of a pessasry sgsin, im 78years

Thank you for starting this conversation, Carrie.

I didn't hear of a pessary until a few months ago when my sister got one as she waited for the procedure to get a hysterectomy. Im 69. In last four years I have not seen a doctor on a regular basis. I looked on the internet as to why I had fullness feeling in the uteres area. I was surprised to find prolapse is common for women that went through child birth. I don't remember a doctor ever mentioning anything about this condition as being something to watch for. I bought myself a belt that holds the pelvic floor and that helped a lot for more than a year. After hearing about the pessary I made a doctor appointment and got one before a 3 week long road trip that I came back from just days ago. Wow! I'm so thankful for this device. It has been a big relief regarding the ease of it and not having to fumble with velcro closure tabs that were losing their grip. I didn't bother with it during the trip other than to use a cream a few days each week. ( I cleaned it after I got home) I plan to use indefinitely but not sure of negative side effect the pharmaceutical cream may have after a long period of time. I prefer not to have a hysterectomy.

I have had a pessary for about 10 years…ring type…first one was larger but was causing abrasions so my gym switched me to a smaller one. No more leaking when I walk, dance, play tennis, cough. It is a godsend and I highly recommend his device. My attempts at kegels don’t work and I sometimes have mild infections after removing or inserting. Don’t have a prolapse. I have difficulty getting it out myself but I use a dental floss string to help me get it out. I am 78 …are you suggesting that I can get along without it at some point?

I have my third pessarium now. First was out in 40 meters walk and 2 stair steps. The second managed to stay in for 50 meters and a full stair. The second I have taken home. After a few days I tried to insert the pessarium myself at home. It stayed in for several hours. Walking and cycling no problem. Peeing was fine, but with pooping the pessarium came out. Shit. But the support was just fine. The first two were with disks with supporten membrane and holes. Then the gynaecologist fitted me a third, a simple ring. It felt unpleasant, with pressure all over the pelvic area. We agreed to give it a bit more time. After a few hours I took it out. Immediately the headache was gone. Actually, today I have inserted it again. Unpleasant. I try to keep it in for the 8 hours. Luckily I still have the second pessarium.

Quick & easy❤

Love doing these at home

Im 24 years postpartum. Still trying to get back in shape.

Hello, I have analyzed your TH-cam channel and found some problems in your channel. Can we discuss the problem that your channel has?

Thank you for making this video! I am going to give this a shot, in combo with my PT this should hopefully move things in the right direction

Hello, I have analyzed your TH-cam channel and found some problems in your channel. Can we discuss the problem that your channel has?

So essentially low estrogen = weak pelvic floor and high estrogen = tight pelvic floor?

Brilliant!

Very neat

1st coment

Had to laugh at the first comment as to why 😂😂😂

Help me with the meaning of cue. Is an example “ engage your core and pelvic muscles as you breathe out”? We at long last have a pelvic floor physical therapist who’s back in the office, and so this encourages me to go get the individualized care instead of TH-cam only.

Have been in tat for years and basically overcome. Naturals, herbs certain one work, the body changes need to listen. Yes I do believe it is hormone involved. Kagel till the cows come home, pharmaceutical for me did not work and the side effects horrendous. When you are pregnant the body produces a relaxen hormone. I think this maybe a major player in the issue.

I'm 64, had stage 2 prolapse in August, 2023 and Kagel made the leakage worse so I stopped doing it right away. It had gotten worse to stage 3 in early 2024 so I decided to try the ring pessary. It was a god sent and gave me all the support I needed. I didn't feel a thing and was able to get back to normal right away for the most part. I first tried a smaller size and it fell out in two days. I tried to put it back in myself but wasn't able to push it in deep enough while keeping it folded. Then I was re-fitted with a larger size and this one has been staying in pretty well. I requested to schedule a cleaning/refitting every three month as I couldn't do it myself. The pain, discomfort, and leakage before using the pessary stopped me from doing anything that requires standing for as short as 3~5 minutes and it was horrible. I thought about going for surgery as soon as possible and the pessary saved me. I still want to fully enjoy my go-go retirement years.

Might trigger some people but pelvic floor physical therapy is highly overrated.

Let's discuss if one is constipated, like my Grandma was due to some sort of prolapse and they just dump miralax in& give other laxative s. THAT, I THINK EFFECTS NUTRIENT ABSORPTION AND HASTENS BONE LOSS.

Such an insightful episode highlighting the complexities of perinatal mental health, as well as, providing new information on staying active postpartum and dealing with intrusive thoughts throughout pregnancy. Highly recommend a listen!

MY 88 YR OLD MOM HAS HAD A PESSARY IN FOR 6 YEARS WITHOUT HAVING IT TAKEN OUT. SHE HAS BEEN BLEEDING FOR OVER 2 YRS STRAIGHT. I HAVE FOUND HER 6 SPECIALISTS, AND NOT UNTIL I GOT HER INTO A SMART FEMALE OB/GYN DID ANYBODY MENTION THEY SAW THIS PESSARY WAY UP INSIDE HER. SHE WAS TOLD SHE CAN'T HAVE SURGERY ON IT OR IT WOULD CAUSE A COMPLETE PROLAPSE. SHE HAS BEEN AND OUT OF HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL CARE FOR THE LAST 2 YRS. SHE GAS HAD MANY TESTS, XRAYS, SCANS, AND EVEN SURGERIES WITHOUT ANY DOCTOR SEEING THIS PESSARY. WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST DR.CARRIE?

Just came across your video. Never thought about p f from that angle. Am in pt for grade 2 cystocele and rectocele which is helping. Someone mentioned d3 and k2 which will be part of my diet. Thanks

Just discovered Dr Stacy Sims a few weeks ago & I’m shocked at how many things estrogen plays a role in. She speaks a lot on female athletes, which I’m not, but listening to all her menopausal knowledge I’m hearing things I hadn’t come across the past couple of years. She gets into the nitty gritty science, & learning the whys & hows to me helps it make sense. I’m trying to crawl out of a post menopause HELL that should’ve been obvious to the myriad of doctors I’ve seen but I’m having to educate & try to advocate for myself.

I’ve gone down that rabbit hole and it made me very discouraged

Thank you so much for having me! - Dr. Waggel

Such an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Waggel and Dr. Pagliano! They delve into the world of perinatal mental health, sharing their insights and personal experiences with authenticity. A must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of perinatal mental health!

Honestly, evaluating progress can be a bit tricky. Right now, I go monthly, because of financial reasons. So, that has an impact. Also, even before I ever started, my symptoms varied. I'd go for months in a row with more severe symptoms and several months with not too many problems. And the PT may notice improvement while evaluating me but maybe it hasn't translated into symptom relief, yet. Yesterday, I had an appt and I had improvement in one area and regression in another area that I only knew about because she did an internal evaluation. Overall, I do know that I've made progress since I have started. But, it took a while to know for sure because my symptoms varied.

Very interesting! Love the chat on mental health medication during pregnancy and postpartum. Dr. Waggel is super knowledgeable in this area.

You need hormonal balance and start with Vitamin D3 and the K2 and full protocols for uptake......Plus the B vitamins but proper form which is not over the counter commercial products at the grocery store or walmart. So get the D3 levels up and Nordic Cod Liver Oil is good for a source and a multisource of nutrients. BUT this comes to HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE and the Pituitary gland and how HGH tapers off with age. SO the Vitamin D3 will involve numerous functions in the body but the main one in focus is the SLEEP CYCLE AND RESTORATIVE SLEEP CYCLE....if you don't get to the stage of sleep where the body goes into repair mode....then you AGE ! So the D3 gets you restoration rebuild over night phase.....and if you have created a huge backlog......it will take time to catch up so i may not be over night nor a week away. SO Hence HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE.....and the FASTER BODY MECHANISM TO REGENERATE TISSUE AND CELLS.....so once the D3 level come up in the testing....then the hormonal balance comes back up and then the action of HGH.....and you turn the time clock back...... AND GET AWAY from Processed Foods without nutrient content you need and all kinds of substitute crap that robs health and injures the digestive tract and the gut biome

I think you're definitely on to something. I'm new to this channel and caught this video of yours. It's alarming how little help I've been able to find with my issues. Though I'm about to start pelvic floor therapy very soon so now I'm interested about what will come of this experience. I think if you add to the mix a patient like myself with PCOS and endometriosis headed towards perimenopause it might get even more complex. Estrogen seems to be causing cramping for me and then leading to pelvic floor/SI joint issues.

Pink pear sponge is ok. Doesn’t press into rectum/rectocele as much

I got my pessary at a urologist.

This might work for me. Thanks

Yep. I agree 100%. I am on HRT and have noticed a huge difference in muscle tone and in my pelvic floor as well.

Will pelvic therapy help? I had a mesh put in about 3 years ago? My urologist advises me to go.

Will pelvic therapy help with incontinence after getting a bladder mesh?

Tried a pf therapist , got my 3th daughter. Leakage...Got into mutu system. Didn t do much. Divorced. Moved. Got to a PF therapist again. Not much result. Discovered that my PF was over tense and was not able to relax it. Went to my GP, went to gynacologist. Who tought about tvt sling, but my bladder was too weak for that. Went for a second opinion. Same conclusion. Went to a commercial plastic surgeon. She noticed a mild prolaps. Said it should/ could be fixed under health insurance in the regular hospital. Regular hospital refused, since its too mild. A few days ago, i saw a explainer on YT, the prolaps can cause weight on the PF , so it cant relax...so the PF can't be trained.... My daughter is 12 yo now, i spent hundreds of euro s on programms... and i'm not where i want to be...

I'm a 54 year old woman I've had 2 pregnancies and 2 vaginal births...never lost bladder control ever. I'm a stop and start urinator. At least 1 pee a day. Always. I do notice the more weight I put on on my stomach the weaker my bladder is. I can sneeze/pee when I'm holding weight. I also listen to the sound of my pee. If it comes out in a tinkling sound I'm good....if it comes out as a funnel sound I have bad bacteria in there and do a vaginosis treatment. Listen to your bodies ladies

DM on what platform?

It’s sad to see women are getting the cube, which is supposed to be removed nightly, and they are being told it can be left in for days or weeeks
