Yeah.
And I was like, that sounds terrible. Well, and there are some people who just, there's a generation of people who just, who just did that. They're just like, well, you just shove it back up and carry on. And I've, I've experienced prolapse and I definitely found it very challenging to just carry on. And again, there are options for situations like that. There are pelvic, um, There are pessaries.

There is potentially surgery. Not everybody wants to go down surgery. And I don't want to, like, I want to take the shame away from surgery as well, because it can play a very positive role. It just shouldn't be the first line of defense that people are sent down the path right away.

We have to look at all of the other conservative things like pessaries, like vaginal estrogen, like PRP, stem cell therapy, like hypopressives. That's an exercise technique very powerful for prolapse, like pelvic floor muscle training, pelvic floor physical therapy, avoiding constipation, all of these things.

And then if you've done all that and you get to the point where it's interfering with the quality of your life, and maybe for this woman, it wasn't, I could tell you very, if that was happening to me and I had tried all the things, I would choose surgery at that point to change that because I'm not prepared to suffer like that, but I'm making an assumption that she was suffering. Maybe she wasn't.

But Yeah, there's a lot of people that deal with that and put it back up. And I think, I hope somebody's offering you estrogen. I hope somebody's offering you pessaries. I hope you know how to do pelvic floor muscle training and you can make improvements. People have had very advanced prolapse, never completely reverse it.
