Namaste, Genital prolapse, known in Ayurveda as Yoni Vyapad, is primarily caused by Vata imbalance, leading to weakened pelvic muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues. This can be aggravated by multiple pregnancies, chronic constipation, excessive physical strain, or aging. The sensation of heaviness, pressure, and mild urinary incontinence suggests that Apana Vata, responsible for the downward movement of energy, is weakened. To restore strength and prevent further progression, Ayurveda focuses on herbal nourishment, oil therapies, dietary adjustments, and pelvic strengthening exercises.
To naturally strengthen the pelvic floor, herbs like Ashwagandha (500 mg twice daily), Shatavari (1 tsp with milk), and Gokshura (1 capsule twice daily) help improve muscle tone and bladder function. Dashmool Kwath (decoction of ten roots) taken twice daily strengthens the reproductive organs, while Kukkutanda Twak Bhasma (250 mg with honey) supports ligament repair. Yoni Pichu therapy, where a cotton swab soaked in Shatavari Ghrita or Bala Taila is inserted into the vagina for 30 minutes at night, deeply nourishes and tones pelvic tissues. Additionally, self-massage (Abhyanga) with Mahanarayan oil on the lower abdomen and thighs enhances circulation and muscle strength.
A Vata-pacifying diet is essential to prevent further muscle weakening. Include ghee, sesame seeds, almonds, cooked vegetables, bone broth (if non-vegetarian), and warm herbal teas to nourish and lubricate tissues. Avoid cold foods, processed sugars, excessive caffeine, and raw salads, as they increase Vata and dryness in the body. Hydration with coconut water and herbal teas like Ashwagandha milk further supports tissue regeneration. Regular Mula Bandha (pelvic floor contraction exercises), Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose), and Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose) can help lift and strengthen the pelvic organs naturally.
If symptoms persist or worsen despite lifestyle changes, a vaginal pessary (a non-surgical support device) can be considered to provide additional structural support. In severe cases where bladder, bowel, or sexual function is significantly affected, surgical intervention may be necessary, but Ayurveda aims to prevent such measures through holistic strengthening. By following a consistent Ayurvedic regimen with herbs, therapies, and mindful exercises, you can effectively manage genital prolapse and regain pelvic stability naturally.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Genital prolapse is a common but manageable condition, and Ayurveda offers holistic ways to support pelvic health. Strengthening the pelvic floor is key practice Mula Bandha (pelvic lock) regularly, which involves contracting and holding the pelvic muscles. Yoga asanas like Viparita Karani (legs-up-the-wall pose), Supta Baddha Konasana (reclining bound angle pose), and Ashwini Mudra (repeated contraction of anal sphincters) can help improve muscle tone.
Dietary support is essential. Favor warm, nourishing foods that balance Vata dosha, such as cooked vegetables, ghee, warm milk with ashwagandha, and nuts like almonds and sesame seeds. Avoid excess caffeine, dry or processed foods, and cold beverages, which can weaken muscle tissue. Triphala can support bowel regularity, reducing strain on the pelvic floor.
For external support, consider Ayurvedic oil massage (Abhyanga) with sesame or ashwagandha oil to strengthen muscles. If symptoms persist, consult a specialist for additional treatment options like pessaries or surgery. Wishing you health and wellness!
