Treatment for Prolapsed Bladder
If it is a mild cystocele, you may not require any treatment. But you will need to avoid heavy lifting or straining that could cause the problem to get worse.
Other potential treatment options include the following:
- Weight loss.
- Estrogen replacement therapy.
- Kegel exercises to strengthen the openings of the urethra, vagina, and rectum. These exercises involve tightening the muscles that are used to stop the flow of urine, holding for 10 seconds, and then releasing.
- If symptoms are modest, a device called a pessary may be placed in the vagina to hold the bladder in place. Pessaries are available in a number of shapes and sizes to ensure a proper fit. A pessary has to be removed and cleaned on a regular basis in order to avoid infection or ulcers.
