It could be that your bladder has been affected, but you can definitely improve your entire downstairs' strength with kegel exercises. I had some very minor symptoms of rectocele and began using kegel balls daily back during the summer and I have had huge improvements! I still use my kegel balls almost daily.

Giving birth, especially more than once is so likely to cause that. It's really, really common, but the good thing is, if it is minor right now, you can improve the strength with kegels & after reading what I have about prolapse (of the bladder or rectum), you definitely can make a big difference if you're proactive now. So yes, I do think they'll help, provided you go about it correctly, which would mean being diligent in doing the kegels and choosing the proper size product. I say that because some women find that the average size kegel ball is too big to actually work their muscles (this was my case), so we often have to use a mini ball such as the Luna Mini Beads, which are the set I've been using daily.

You don't have to use a kegel product, but I'd been doing kegel exercises for years and didn't actually notice real improvement until I began using the balls. Maybe it's just that when I started using the balls, I began doing at least triple the amount of kegels, who knows, but I do think you'd benefit from them.

Sorry to hear about your situation with health insurance. I hope you found some help here and if you get confused looking for the right kegel product (if you do choose to use one), you can always message me or someone else who's used several different one diligently. I've tried several & have a big opinion on each. Lol. I will tell you one thing that'll come in handy -- if you want a kegel ball, make sure it's one that has an inner ball that rolls around (Smartballs, Luna Beads, Etc.) Those that are glass or the balls/eggs that do not have an inner ball don't give you as great of a work out. In my case, the bigger the rumble I get from the ball, the better the exercise is. For instance, I have the Bedroom Kandi set and they did not rumble at all (provide that rumbly sensation), so they caused me to not work my muscles near as much as my Luna Beads, which provide the biggest, most often rumble than any other kegel ball I've used.

Well, I hope this is helpful. If I've confused you, let me know & I'll try and clear it up.

Hope you get some relief soon!
