Electrical stimulation involves applying a probe to muscles in the pelvic floor or vagina to deliver electrical currents causing muscle contractions. If you are not responding to pelvic floor muscle exercises, another way to strengthen pelvic muscles is with physical therapy, including electrical stimulation and biofeedback. Pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegels, can be done to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor. Pessaries are a good alternative to surgery and can decrease prolapse symptoms.

When a pessary is used correctly, it is comfortable and stays in place. Internal measurements of the vagina are taken to determine the size of pessary needed. A pessary is a device that can be inserted into the vagina to support the bladder. If you are diagnosed with a prolapsed bladder, there are a variety of treatment options. The stages can help determine the best type of care for your situation. Stage I is when the bladder begins to droop into the vaginal vault Stage II involves the bladder dropping into the lower section of the vaginal region Stage III is when the bladder is visible at the vaginal opening Stage IV is when the bladder is outside of the body. There are four stages of prolapse that help gauge the degree of severity. If any of these symptoms are present, it is important to see your doctor so they can conduct a pelvic exam to diagnose you.
