If you’re experiencing pelvic discomfort due to prolapse, urinary incontinence, or other pelvic conditions, it’s easy to think that it’s just a temporary issue—that it will go away on its own or that you just have to live with it. Maybe you’ve just accepted it was because of past pregnancies, getting older, or even an unavoidable part of being a woman in this stage of life.

But it’s not getting better, is it? And maybe you don’t want to accept that you have to live your life this way either!?

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—we hear stories like this all the time. In fact, pelvic floor issues are some of the most common conditions we treat at LEVEL4 PT & Pilates.

And when it comes to living with these complaints, many women we meet have the same questions:

Most women think that when they experience pelvic discomfort due to prolapse or incontinence, it will simply disappear on its own. That one day, they’ll wake up, and—like magic—the problem will be gone. But then, months later, they’re still dealing with it, and often, it’s worse than it was in the beginning.

Another common scenario we see is when women go to their doctor, only to be told they need surgery,” “do some Kegels,” or “take this medication.” Maybe they were even sent to an in-network physical therapist, but the treatment was subpar and really didn’t seem like it solved the problem.

But this advice rarely solves the problem long-term, and weeks later, they find themselves back at the doctor’s office, feeling frustrated. Worse, they may be prescribed even more invasive measures, like a surgery.

Why do pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, and postpartum challenges often last longer than they should? It’s easy to get confused by conflicting advice and misinformation. Perhaps you think your pelvic issues are simply the result of childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes. But in reality, they’re often caused by a combination of factors—like tight or weakened muscles, poor posture, your lifestyle or even chronic stress.

If you’re not sure what’s causing your discomfort and frustrating issue, you’re not alone. And because of this uncertainty, many women end up accepting these issues as “just part of life”—as if they’re something they have to live with.

If you’re currently living with incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse or postpartum concerns, here are 7 common reasons why it might be lasting longer than it should:

😞 1. You thought it would go away on its own—but it didn’t.

😞 2. You visited your doctor, who advised doing Kegels—but they haven’t made a difference.

😞 3. A family member or friend told you that these issues are normal as you age, so you’ve just accepted it.

😞 4. You tried other healthcare professionals or therapies in the past, but nothing seemed to help.

😞 5. You tried exercises from YouTube, but they either didn’t help or made your symptoms worse.

😞 6. You thought resting would help, but it only made you feel more annoyed and uncomfortable.
