from Active Mom Podcast: Pregnancy, Postpartum, Perimenopause, Menopause & Beyond
Send us Fan MailCan you run with pelvic organ prolapse? In this solo episode, Dr. Carrie Pagliano takes on one of the most feared pelvic floor diagnoses… and why prolapse doesn't have to mean hanging up your running shoes.Carrie introduces your "prolapse personality" — because prolapse isn't one experience, it's many. She busts the myths (no, running didn't cause it… no, you don't have to rest until it's "gone"), walks through the three symptom presentations she sees in the clinic, and explains why your anatomy doesn't predict how you feel or what your body can do.You'll hear how she thinks about graded loading and return-to-run dosing, where pessaries and support devices can fit, what "just breathe" really means for runners, and why a prolapse diagnosis is a starting point — not a stop sign.For active moms and the providers who support them. Education, not medical advice — always loop in your own pelvic floor PT or provider.Time Stamps0:00 introduction3:33 mythbuster rapid fire8:06 no on-size-fits-all prolapse14:25 how symptoms change with activity18:03 pressure management and breathing20:54 importance of early activity25:01 doing too much too soon27:05 support devices30:22 returning to run with prolapseCONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comCourse waitlist: https://course.carriepagliano.com/RSAWLThe Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.
