That’s entirely up to you! However, keep in mind that prolapse repair surgery isn’t always a permanent fix. Studies show that many people who undergo surgery may still experience symptoms, like leakage and pelvic pressure, within two years.
Why? Because without pelvic PT, you don’t learn how to move and use your pelvic floor muscles properly, which increases the risk of re-injury. Surgery does not fix the root cause of your prolapse. It only addresses the symptoms that resulted from the cause. This means most individuals experience a prolapse again after surgery because they did not make the necessary changes to prevent re-injury.
Prolapse often happens due to poor movement patterns and incorrect use of pelvic floor muscles. With pelvic floor therapy, you can learn how to use your muscles correctly, which may help you avoid surgery altogether.
