How to Naturally Lift the Bladder

A dropped, or prolapsed, bladder is a common disorder found in women. Over time or after childbirth, the muscles of the pelvic floor that support the bladder may weaken. If the muscles deteriorate enough, the bladder may drop below the abdomen into the pelvic space. Symptoms may include weakness, pain, urinary incontinence or discomfort while urinating. In mild or moderate cases where the bladder has not completely descended out of the vagina, the doctor may prescribe Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles.

Instructions

Kegel Exercises

• 1

  Find your pelvic floor muscles. To do this, try and stop urine flow only once while urinating. The muscles that are used to control urination are the same muscles targeted during Kegel exercises. If you need help, your doctor should be able to directly show you the muscles that need strengthening.

• 2

  After emptying your bladder, you may find a place to sit down to practice the Kegel exercise.

• 3

  Slowly contract the pelvic muscles as you did in step 1. Hold for three seconds, and slowly relax for another three seconds. Repeat for a total of ten times.

• 4

  Practice Kegel exercises three times a day. Try and increase the time you are able to contract your muscles by a couple of seconds every few days until you are able to hold for 10 seconds.
