Prolapse and urinary incontinence: natural relief during hot weather
When it's hot , our bodies are already put to the test. So when you add prolapse (organ prolapse) and urinary leaks, it can quickly become a real daily discomfort. Don't worry, there are natural, effective solutions that are especially adapted to the summer season. You are not alone and it is possible to find comfort, confidence and well-being... even in the middle of August 🌞🧊
What is prolapse? And why is it worsened by heat?
Genital prolapse is the descent of one or more pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum) into the vagina. It can affect women at different times in their lives: after childbirth, during menopause, or following chronic exertion (intense sport, coughing, carrying heavy loads, etc.).
In summer, heat can increase discomfort for several reasons:
- Decreased muscle tone due to vasodilation caused by heat.
- Increased feeling of pelvic heaviness due to slower blood circulation.
- Sweating and local humidity which can lead to irritation, inflammation or mycoses.
- And of course, urinary incontinence becomes more difficult to manage when you're already sweating all over...
Fortunately, natural, gentle and caring solutions exist to support you 💛
🌿 Relieve prolapse naturally: what daily practices?
1. Perineal cryotherapy: your ally for freshness and tone
This ancient practice, brought up to date, consists of cooling the perineal area to help the body eliminate excess internal heat , restart transit , and boost circulatory and lymphatic functions . In summer, it's THE ideal natural detox routine. And the good news is that Holis allows you to do it without a bidet or complex logistics.
The benefits are numerous:
- to tone the pelvic tissues
- to reduce the feeling of heaviness
- to relieve inflammatory pain
- to promote perineal rehabilitation , even at home
At Maholi , the “ Holi ” perineal cold packs 🧊 are specially designed for this intimate area. Their soft Oeko-Tex fabric and ergonomic shape make them ultra discreet and comfortable, even under light summer shorts 👙
👉 Use for 1.5 to 2 hours per day as a preventative measure, up to 2.5 hours in case of significant discomfort.
2. An anti-inflammatory and remineralizing diet 🍍
Adopt a suitable diet such as:
- Fruits rich in water (watermelon, melon, cucumber, etc.)
- Foods rich in silica (nettle, oats) for tissue tone
- Draining infusions (cherry stems, hibiscus)
- Magnesium for pelvic muscles (banana, almonds, cocoa)
Limit refined sugars, ultra-processed foods, and overly salty dishes, which aggravate inflammation and water retention.
🌸 And what about incontinence? Aim for freshness and gentle reinforcement
Heat can worsen urinary leaks by further relaxing already weakened tissues. But the good news is that several natural practices can help:
- Perineal cryotherapy to stimulate muscle contraction and reduce inflammation
- Kegel exercises (to be done lying down or sitting in a cool place) to strengthen the pelvic floor
- Support with a midwife for adapted perineal rehabilitation
💡 Maholi Tip : In case of leakage, apply a cool Holi for a few minutes to soothe the area, reduce odors and regain an instant feeling of cleanliness without irritation.
🔥 How to better experience summer with prolapse or incontinence?
- Opt for flowing, organic cotton clothing that lets the pelvic area breathe.
- Drink plenty of water (yes, even if you're worried about leaks, it helps reduce irritation).
- Establish a daily Holi routine at the end of the day for a pampering and restorative moment.
- And above all, listen to yourself . There's no shame in adapting your pace, your activities, or refusing to go hiking in the middle of a heatwave.
