What natural remedies help with prolapse?
Natural remedies for prolapse focus on lifestyle measures: regular pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises, weight management, high-fibre diet to prevent constipation, avoiding heavy lifting, and managing chronic cough. These help prevent worsening and may ease mild symptoms.
Detailed Medical Explanation
The most effective non-surgical approach is pelvic floor physiotherapy, which is recommended in NHS and NICE guidelines. Herbal remedies, acupuncture, and massage lack strong clinical evidence. Always discuss supplements or alternative therapies with a healthcare provider to avoid interactions. (NHS: Prolapse treatment)
Clinical Context
Pelvic floor muscle training under physiotherapist guidance is the safest and most effective “natural” remedy for prolapse.
Evidence-Based Approaches
Major health bodies do not recommend unproven natural or herbal treatments over physiotherapy and lifestyle change.
