Stages of Uterine Prolapse

1 – Uterus in upper half of vagina


2 – Descended to opening of vagina

Manual Therapy


Ther Ex


Relaxation Training


Pt. Edu


EMG


Modalities



Pelvicfloor exercise for prolapse ( 4 phases of rehabilitation)

-Developmentof the ability to be aware of the region


-Specificlocalized training and relaxation


-Exercisingfunctionally related muscle groups with graded load


-Integratingmovements into daily activities to make the automatic

Muscles that provide accessory contraction as apatient attempts to isolate her pelvic floor muscles

Effect of dehydration on bladder habit

Mechanismof sympathomimetic drugs prescribed for urinary incontinence

Anticholinergicdrugs: block nerves that control bladder muscle contraction and allow forrelaxation of the bladder smooth muscle.


Tricyclicantidepressants – “paralyze” smooth muscle of the bladder


AlphaAgonist – contraction of the internal urethral sphincter and increases theurethral resistance to urinary flow

Knackexercise


Bracing,perineal lock, pelvic clutch, kegal when you cough

Quick anticipatory PFMContraction or holding back
General symptoms of hypotonic pelvic floordysfunction

Decreasedresting state of muscles, atrophy, weakness, poor nm control.


Pelvicorgan prolapse


Incontinence

Differentiatebetween different types of prolapse

Cystocele– Ant V – Bladder


Urethrocele– Ant V – Urethra


Urethrocystocele– Ant V – Urethra and Bladder


Rectocele– Post V – Rectum
