Prevention of pelvic organ prolapse

Stop smoking - Chronic coughing adds strain to the walls of the vagina and the internal organs.  Losing weight will reduce this strain

Avoid straining – By increasing fiber intake, using stool softeners, prune juice, or flaxseed oil, the stool can be softened to prevent straining during a bowel movement. Straining can make pelvic organ prolapse or rectal prolapse much worse, and avoiding straining may help a prolapse to correct. Leaning forward with a bowel movement can also help prevent undue strain.
