How long for?
I am currently 3 weeks postpartum and went to the GP. I have a posterior vaginal wall prolapse and a slight anterior prolapse.
I’ve been told to do my pelvic floor exercises and use laxatives.
Has anyone been in this situation? How long did it take to get back to normal?
Um, your GP really should have explained this better to you. It's very hard to know the full situation so soon after birth. But if you do have prolapse, that's likely to be permanent, I.e. it won't "go back in". But you can reduce your symptoms significantly through pelvic floor exercises and avoiding constipation etc. Please go back to your GP and ask for a referral to a pelvic floor physio. With proper technique and a proper routine of pelvic floor exercises (I.e. someone needs to check you are doing then properly, using the different sets of muscles) you should see a big difference in a few months. x
