You Deserve a Specialist
Some women might benefit from a Pessary, a device worn in the vagina for support. Avoiding
heavy lifting, maintaining a healthy weight, Kegel exercises and medication such as
Estrogen might also help alleviate some of the symptoms. Eating high fiber foods might prevent
the straining that is associated with constipation.
Surgery for Prolapse
In most cases, surgery is indicated. Women with symptoms of one type of
Vaginal Prolapse are more likely to have or develop other types as well. Dr. Wilkie is
specialized in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Gynaecologic Surgery and uses both vaginal and
abdominal procedures to correct Vaginal Prolapse. Dr. Wilkie will often correct all prolapse
related problems at once. In most cases, the surgery is performed through the vagina.
As with any surgical procedure, Dr. Wilkie will first evaluate your condition and then discuss
which treatment is most appropriate for you. Included in this discussion are the risks and benefits
of your treatment. At NewWoman Canada™ our staff takes care to inform you about how to prepare for the surgery
and what the expected postoperative (after surgery) course will be.
