Pelvic Floor Dysfunction cures NEEDED!?

I have pelvic floor dysfunction. I have hernias from lifting too much weight during pregnancy. I also have torn ligaments. This causes intense pain and heaviness. Also I have uterine prolapse because of it. I am healthy. I am a runner. I do kegals and stomach strengthening exercises regularly. I do not eat inflammatory foods. It has been over a year scince these problems started. I have seen many doctors and they have said theres nothing I can do about it. I cannot wear pants because they put too much pressure on my abdomen. I know there have got to be some natural remedies for this. Would a comfrey compress help? Slippery elm? How do I put my abdomen back together? Surgery and proper health care is not an option. Not explaining that because it’s complex but it’s not an option. If you can help, please do!!

Many symptoms may be related to pregnancy and load you say you have uploaded in that period.
Abs and pelvic floor have too much in commom. They influence themselves.
What kind of delivery did you do? Depending on the type of delivery, you may also have some symptoms.

Is Candidiasis(a fungal infection) harmful to a growing fetus? What are the effects?

Any remedy (the natural way,preferably) for this? Some say feminine wash will do it; some say it’s normal during pregnancy. Thanks!

Michelle answers:

Candidiasis is a yeast like fungus. You can use monistat or gynelotrimin to get rid of it. If left untreated, it can change to a pathogen and cause localized or generalized mucocutaneous disease.

Lisa asks…

Herbal remedies to help labor?????

This is my frist pregnancy and I’m 35 weeks along. I know its natural for the first one to be late etc etc but I still want to be aware of the natural herbal teas and capsules available out there that supposedly help your body get ready for labor. I know some women swear by these, some are totally against them. And yes I know that the best decision is telling your doctor. With all that said I want to know from any of you which ones you recommend, the dosage and week to start if you have it, and what they do OR which ones you don’t recommend and why. Thanks!

Michelle answers:

Here’s a link with a list of *safe* ways to get labor going when you are full term… For acupuncture, massage, teas, herbs and homeopathic remedies you should go to a licensed practitioner who has experience treating pregnant women
