Patient's question:
A doctor who is pregnant with her second child in the late stage of pregnancy experienced sneezing, coughing, and discovered urinary incontinence. After giving birth, she had a follow-up check-up at 42 days and found that she had a second-degree prolapse of the bladder. How should this be treated, or will it gradually recover on its own later? During breastfeeding...Doctor's answer:
Postpartum incontinence is often caused by prolonged pressure on the pelvic floor during pregnancy, leading to fatigue of pelvic floor muscles, vaginal relaxation, and pelvic organ prolapse. Early intervention can be implemented through pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy. Currently, it is recommended to conduct pelvic floor screening 42 days postpartum. If weak pelvic floor muscles are detected or incontinence recurs, gentle electrical stimulation can be used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. For severe symptoms, minimally invasive tape surgery can be performed.
