I loved the following parts of this article: "Avoiding straining at stool by using the correct position and dynamics for defaecation, softening the bowel motion with soluble fibres or other products, always engaging in pelvic floor safe exercising (that is, no sit ups, curl ups, crunches, double leg lifts or full planks), regular pelvic floor muscle training and bracing (tightening your low tummy and pelvic floor muscles prior to increases in intra-abdominal pressure) – these are simple strategies to prevent worsening prolapse." " Because chronic pelvic pain will get worse as the patient’s nervous system gets well practised at producing pain, (central sensitization) and with some time taken to ExplainPain, the patient can start to gain control over their condition and not feel so helpless. But it takes time and this is where the physios can help. Teaching the concept that the brain decides whether there is going to be pain or not really has changed our direction of treating the end organ and the peripheries to more the central sensitization nature of chronic pain." Thanks Julie!
