Cystocele
Cystocele, also known as a prolapsed bladder, is a condition that occurs when the wall of the bladder weakens and bulges into the front wall of the vagina.
This can happen due to childbirth, menopause, or other factors that put pressure on the pelvic floor muscles.
As a result, women may experience discomfort or pain in the pelvic region, urinary incontinence, or difficulty emptying the bladder completely.
A pelvic health physio can play an important role in the management of cystocele. The physio will assess the strength and function of the pelvic floor muscles and develop a treatment plan based on the individual's specific needs. Treatment options may include pelvic floor muscle exercises, biofeedback, electrical stimulation, lifestyle changes and/or a pessary.
Caesarian or C-Section
A pelvic health physiotherapist can treat a C-section scar using a variety of techniques. Some of the most common methods include scar massage, stretching exercises, myofascial release, trigger point release, education and advice.
A pelvic health physio plays an important role in the recovery process after a c-section, helping alleviate pain and discomfort, improve mobility, and promote healing of the scar tissue.
Clitorodynia
Clitorodynia is a condition characterized by chronic pain in the vulvar region, specifically the vestibule, which is the area surrounding the entrance to the vagina.
The pain associated with clitorodynia can be described as burning, stinging, itching, or rawness, and can occur during sexual activity or any kind of pressure applied to the vulvar region, such as sitting or wearing tight clothing.
Treatment strategies may include pelvic floor muscle relaxation exercises, pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercises, manual therapy, biofeedback, education and advice.
