Preparing for recovery after vaginal prolapse surgery
This study tests a program of exercises and education before surgery to see if it helps people recover better after vaginal prolapse repair. It is for people scheduled for specific types of prolapse surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tracks how well women recover after surgery for advanced pelvic organ prolapse. You will wear a small activity monitor before and after surgery to see how your activity level changes, and you'll follow a simple exercise plan to help your recovery.
This study tests a therapeutic exercise program to help women recover after a vaginal delivery. It aims to improve pelvic health and overall well-being in the weeks after childbirth.
This study looks at how well the pelvic floor (the muscles supporting your bladder, uterus, and bowel) recovers after a vaginal birth. It tests whether starting gentle exercises soon after delivery helps improve recovery.
This trial tests whether using vaginal estrogen before and after prolapse surgery helps improve recovery and long-term results. Women having apical suspension surgery (to support the top of the vagina) may benefit.
This study looks at how well bladder control (urinary continence) works after vaginal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. It will help doctors understand what to expect in the Spanish population.
This study tests whether special pelvic floor exercises can help reduce uterine prolapse (when the uterus drops into the vagina). You would do two types of exercises—pelvic floor strengthening and core stability work—to see if they improve your symptoms.
