Pelvic floor weakness and other female-specific complaints

As I mentioned elsewhere, I always try to address women and men equally in my blog posts. However, sometimes I receive so many questions about one or other gender-specific topic that it becomes very important to me to write about it.

This is the case, for example, with pelvic floor weakness and uterine prolapse in women. I find that this question is asked relatively often in our social media forums.

First I would like to point out that most people believe a strong pelvic floor can also prevent a prolapse of the internal organs. However, my experience has shown that a prolapse in women is in most cases linked to hormonal complaints that occur in the context of the menopause – that is, before, during and after the climacteric. And all the Kegel exercises in the world will not be able to counter these hormonal fluctuations.

In homeopathy we do not treat the hormones themselves, but the complaints that are, so to speak, laid at our feet by the hormonal disturbances.

Sepia 200 for prolapse

For an early-stage prolapse I would first turn to one of our best hormone remedies, namely Sepia 200 – in this case to be taken once every three days.

I have used it many times in my practice and observed very different results. For example, I have seen Sepia 200 completely resolve a prolapse. In other cases it had no effect at all. But in most cases the results lie in the golden middle between the two extremes.

When Sepia 200 is used correctly, the prolapse can improve so much that bleeding stops, the pain disappears and also the feeling of not being able to stand or lift without “gravity” causing a catastrophe! Further information on the correct potency and dosage of homeopathic remedies can be found here.

I consider that a success, because it gives sufferers back their quality of life. Of course we – like with all our weaknesses and susceptibilities – cannot behave as if we were Superwoman just because we have our prolapse successfully under control. I am not encouraging you to lift a piano or take part in the next pole-vault competition! But with a little common sense and a small and not very expensive pack of Sepia, a woman can take part in life again!

Prolapse and therapeutic pessaries

By the way, conventional medicine also has something to offer on this topic. Certain forms of uterine prolapse can be well managed with a therapeutic pessary. This is a removable medical device that is inserted vaginally and supports the prolapsed organ or tissue (see image below). No surgery or medication required. Just a removable pessary tailored to the individual body type and adapted to the gynaecological specifics of each woman.

Isn’t that exactly what we also want from our GPs and specialists… a treatment as minimally invasive as possible?

But – and this will not be surprising to you – I would in any case start homoeopathically first. Sepia 200 is and remains the best homeopathic choice! I consider Sepia to be one of the most valuable remedies for every woman and I recommend you learn as much as possible about it! In my blog post Strong enough for a woman I have already written about the other advantages of this medicine.

Before I finish my post for today, I would like to make it clear that I would not use Sepia arbitrarily to prevent an organ prolapse. Definitely not! Homeopathy generally does not work that way. However, if a prolapse becomes noticeable, Sepia 200 is one of the best places to start.

You might be surprised to hear how many women would benefit from this information but do not at all know that there is a solution! In that sense – spread the word! Homeopathy helps.

Warmly,

Yours
