Stage 1 rectocele and PT

Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with stage 1 rectocele and I am currently 5 weeks PP. I am starting Physiotherapy next week. Has anyone been the same thing? Does the therapy just stop the symptoms worsening or can they actually make the bulge disappear. Really freaking out about all of this and so worried things won’t go back to normal.

What are your symptoms ? I have the same

@Janae bulge at entrance of vagina, some back pain, feels like a tampon is falling out when I walk, can sometimes feels a sore throbbing pain down there, what about you?

Ah okay I think mine is a bit worse, I basically can’t push out stool , I have that and anal sphincter anismus as well, I started physical therapy it didn’t help much but I didn’t put my all into stretching at home. I hope things get better for you soon!

@Janae sorry to hear that, yes I was just curious as to how successful PT is as not sure if it can reverse or simply improve. I guess it depends on severity, I hope things get better for you also!

PT helped me greatly improve and nearly alleviate the prolapse I have post baby 2. I highly recommend starting there to see how it helps before looking into other options
