Prolapse and Hysterectomy

Is Pelvic Floor Prolapse common in women in Peri-Menopause/Menopause phase of life?

Once this occurs what are the options to correct problem? I feel like a Hysterectomy may be in the future.
The pro's and con's of options to correct proplase would be a huge help also.

I have had this happen recently, have appointments with a Urologist and GYN over the next 4 weeks. Was wondering if anyone has been through this and has any suggestions or personal stories of how they got through it. I am in the
"Oh my goodness, this is really disgusting" stage and need some advice.

Kegel Exercises
The name may be silly, but these pelvic-floor strengthening exercises really work wonders.
. Why? A stronger pelvic floor better supports your uterus(whena we have one !, bladder, and bowels, and can ease postoperative symptoms such as hemorrhoids and urinary incontinence. Being faithful to your exercises.  And they're easy to do (anywhere): Tense the muscles around your vagina and anus and hold (as you would if you were trying to stop the flow of urine), working up to ten seconds. Slowly release and repeat; shoot for three sets of 20 daily.


of corse ask your dr if he feels this is a good idea/time for you to do these

I'm sorry to hear your going through this. Have you researched your options?
I have'nt been through this myself but I would look at all of your options and really talk with your Dr. A hysterectomy is surgery of course and will last a life time.
Ask your Dr if there is a way to keep your uterus and correct this problem.
Keep us up to date on how your doing and take care. Remar
