Dear Mama to Many, just stopping by to leave a thank you note for your recommendation to drink red raspberry leaf tea to help with prolapse. I had a 4th degree episiotomy and forceps delivery with my first child 33 years ago - a mess but my son was perfect and I recovered with the heaven sent help of a very gentle male doctor. All seemed relatively fine for over a decade. Then the birth of my daughter at age 43, long posterior delivery, etc. Even still, I never gave these things more than a passing thought. But about 10 years ago, in my mid-fifties, the prolapse began. I was told, cystocele and rectocele, and I could see the bladder prolapse but still I didn't have bad symptoms and so didn't give it much attention. I wish now that I had done more... But hindsight is only good for the lesson and then we have to move on! I am now more determined than ever to do all that I can to maintain and yes, I am daring to believe for reversing all my symptoms. If our bodies can heal so marvelously and completely from so many other things, why not prolapse? I happily walk 2 miles daily and plan to continue for the rest of my days! So, thank you for pointing me toward the tea and also nutmeg! Blessings to you and your family, Judith

Hello.

I have a grade 3 bladder prolapse. A pessary, tampons, etc/etc/etc did not work for me. No leakage, just bladder protruding to vaginal lips. Yuck. My daughter uses a menstrual sponge. I wondered if it would work for my bladder prolapse. I bought a natural sponge, cut it to what I thought might hold up my bladder. LOL Several tries later I had found the right size of sponge that completely and utterly held my bladder up. After several uses I found the sponge irritated my insides (blood on sponge), so I added a lubricant (flax oil, replens, sliquid). They all work really well. I have several sponges that I now use almost daily. My favourite one is actually a natural sponge used for painting, of all things. You can get it at Michael's. I sew thread on the sponge so I can retrieve it easily. I lubricate the sponge on the outside, draw all edges together, and then insert in to vagina as far up as I can and pull the thread down as I retract my fingers. My bladder is completely held up way past the vaginal area. It does not slip out. I can't feel it as the sponge is so light. It has been a life saver for me. Wash sponge after use with soapy water, or Dawn. I microwave for 1 minute every two weeks to kill any bacteria that may linger on the sponge.

Try it! You might like it.
