Prolapsed Bladder

Greetings,
 
I have a prolapsed bladder, and my doctor put me on a premarin cream that is suppose to help strengthen my tissues, and inserted the disc to hold the bladder in place.  I don't want to take this premarin cream.
It says right on the box that it causes cancer.  Is there any kind of herb that I can take that would do the
same thing as this conjugated estrogen?  I'm desperate to find an alternative to this HRT.
 
Thank you...

Hi,

Kegels are the very best thing you can do to strengthen the muscles around your bladder. Are you doing Kegels?

Love,

Justine

Thank you soooooooo much for writing back!!!!!!!

A friend of mine has just turned me on to kegels.  I've started doing them as often as I can, even at work when I can remember to do them. I also am doing some  exercises for my bad lower back to strengthen  it.

They are suppose to help strengthen the front side also, which I'm sure is in the muscles.  What about the other tissues or will the muscles do it? I probably need to kick up on the kegels to.

I appreciate your answers so much!
 
Bless you...

Hello,

If  you keep up with the kegels it should really help, to strengthen all of the muscles around the bladder, yes.

Here is an excerpt for you from Susun:

There are many problems that can bother the bladder, from infections to retention (canít go) to incontinence (canít not go). If the muscles of the pelvic floor are weak, urine leaks (stress incontinence); if they are very lax, the bladder prolapses down into the vagina. As men age, the growth of the prostrate can press on the bladder, preventing it from fully emptying and increasing the frequency of urination. And some men have paruresis or ìshyî bladder, while women are more bothered by an overactive bladder or urge incontinence which bothers many women as well. Exercising the pelvic floor muscles is the best medicine for anyone with these problems.

Bladder Star - Comfrey

An herb that can improve muscle tone in the bladder, ease irritation in the bladder lining and ureters, heal all surfaces, counter inflammation, and create resilient health throughout the urinary system is a true bladder star. Thatís comfrey - Symphytum.

I donít use Symphytum officinale, which is often cited, and is associated with alkaloid-overdose of the liver. Instead, I use the comfrey from my garden, Symphytum uplandica x, also called ìRussianî or ìblueî comfrey. In fact, Iíve never seen anyone growing officinale, which is a small plant with yellow flowers. I strongly suspect that all the comfrey for sale in the United States in uplandica.

The allantoin in comfrey is a superb healer of mucus surfaces, such as those lining the bladder and ureters. It gives almost immediate relief to those with interstitial cystitis and works to counter urge incontinence and overactive bladders. Comfreyís anti-inflammatory action relieves urethritis and prostate swelling, too.

The astringent tannins in comfrey help tone and tighten the bladder and pelvic floor muscles, countering stress incontinence. Comfrey also relaxes the detrusor muscle.

The lavish amounts of minerals, vitamins, and protein found in comfrey allow the body to engage in any repairs that are needed and may counter bladder cancer.

A sitz bath of the leaves or roots works well for those reluctant to consume comfrey. But, for best results, comfrey leaf infusion, a cup or two a day, gets my vote.
