Conversations about colds and flu abound during this time of year. Friends compare their allergies in the spring. But there’s one equally common, year-round condition that is rarely discussed in polite company: bladder prolapse (cystocele).
So, ladies, let’s chat.
You’re not alone. Cleveland Clinic states that 50% of women will suffer from this bladder prolapse.1 This condition can range from annoying to downright debilitating.
While not all bladder prolapses lead to incontinence, many women must curb their activities to avoid the constant bathroom trips.
The sensations of pressure and heaviness in the pelvic region can be disconcerting. Insertion of menstrual products can become difficult. Intercourse can become painful, leading to marital strain. And don’t even think about coughing or sneezing!
What’s a girl to do?
While surgery was often conventional medicine’s answer, pessaries (a removable device inserted vaginally to support the prolapsed organ or tissue) are increasingly being utilized, as discussed in my blog post from years ago, Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
However, some women can’t use them because they just don’t stay put. Others don’t want to get fitted for one because the idea scares them. Some don’t believe their condition is that bad, thinking, “Do I have to go that far? Can I nip it in the bud before it gets to that point?”
Homeopathy is often a better place to start, especially before the bladder prolapse gets too severe. In my clinical experience, I have seen that it can help. Honestly, I’ve seen results running the gamut. In some cases, homeopathy has acted spectacularly, while in others, it really hasn’t helped. Some cases have resolved quickly, while others required six months or more.
I would love to say it’s a matter of severity. You know, something like, if it’s really severe, it’s going to work faster, or the younger the woman is, the better. However, those specifics don’t seem to come into play as much as one might think.
I mean, it does to a certain degree, but not nearly as much as one might think.
Let’s cut to the chase: homeopathic Sepia for bladder prolapse
Okay, so which homeopathic medicine(s) are we talking about? The first I consider — also the one that is most highly regarded in the homeopathic repertory for bladder prolapse — is Sepia 200C, preferably purchased in liquid form. Generally, this would be utilized with one dose (according to the bottle’s definition of a dose) every three days for a couple of months.
Then one would reassess to determine whether to continue the medicine (because improvement is observed but the condition has not quite resolved), pivot to another medicine (because there has been no improvement whatsoever), or halt treatment because the condition has sufficiently resolved.
If the condition were to resolve after only a few weeks, one would discontinue the medicine at that point, without waiting the full two months. Remember, we only use homeopathic medicines when needed. When no longer necessary, we halt. We can always pick it up again should the condition return.
Now, before you ask, if you are unable to procure Sepia 200 in liquid form, the next best option would be pillules, which are more readily available.
