Kourtney Kardashian Stresses Over Vaginal Prolapse After Delivery
Recently, The Kardashians star, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, was raw and open about her stress over vaginal prolapse after delivering her youngest child, Rocky Thirteen Barker. Undeniably, many health concerns aren’t often talked about postpartum, but Kourtney is giving attention to a very serious issue that women should be aware of after giving birth.
Kourtney Kardashian Keeps It Real
Although pregnancy and childbirth is a beautiful process, many issues can arise during and after the delivery. For instance, The Kardashians star, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, has been forward about a rare condition that caused her little Rocky Barker to need emergency surgery in September 2023. While the surgery was life-saving for Rocky, Kourtney also talks about not being “out of the woods” even after she delivered her precious little guy.
Kourtney Kardashian Stresses Over Her Vagina ‘Falling Out’
On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian shares she wasn’t concerned in the least about the “10 lbs” she needed to lose to return to her pre-pregnancy weight. Since she was breastfeeding, she felt confident that would come naturally. Instead, she was more focused on the stress of vaginal prolapse after delivery. Talking with her mom, Kris Jenner on the new episode, Kourtney is very concerned about her vagina. In a confessional, the producer asks Kourtney, “What does keeping your vagina intact mean?” Undeniably, Kourtney was happy to explain. She says, “Well, you can have prolapse,” then she admits her fear, “which is where your vagina can, like, fall out, I think.”
While Kourtney Kardashian did a good job illustrating that prolapse can be serious, the Cleveland Clinic gives a description to clarify. Cleveland Clinic states, “Vaginal prolapse is a condition where your vagina slips out of position. It happens when the tissues and muscles in your pelvis weaken and overstretch.” Likewise, they add, “It’s more common in people who have had multiple vaginal deliveries during childbirth and have gone through menopause.”
She Explains What Helps
Although this isn’t Kourtney Kardashian’s first rodeo, prolapse is a real concern. It is especially a higher risk for mamas with more than one child through vaginal delivery. Kourtney is the mom to Rocky, Reign, Penelope, and Mason. Without a doubt, it can be a bit frightening to face the possibility of having this issue. Kourtney tells Kris Jenner, “Supposedly, there’s things you can do to keep it up there.” Her mom, says, “That makes sense, you should do Pilates.” While Kourtney was only focusing on walking, she agreed, “I’m doing Pilates tomorrow.”
While pilates is a good starting point for Kourtney Kardashian, it may not help someone avoid prolapse. Undeniably, Health talks about Pilates strengthening the pelvic floor. However, it may not be enough to address vaginal prolapse. Cleveland Clinics also states, “You can’t push a prolapsed vagina back up.” Notably, non-surgical suggestions for treatment include Kegel exercises and vaginal inserts. However, in more “severe cases” surgery may be necessary.
