DR. IMRAN SIDDIQUI -Can PRP heal Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
đ© You're trying to do EVERYTHING right after childbirthâpelvic floor PT, backing off workouts, giving it time⊠but that pelvic heaviness, bulging, or pressure is still there. Itâs exhausting. Itâs defeating. And no one seems to have real answers.
If youâve been told âitâs just your new normal,â this episode is your reminder: it doesnât have to be.
Iâm joined by Dr. Imran Siddiqui (@thesiddiquimd), a Washington DC-based sports medicine physician whoâs taking his background in musculosketetal imaging and regenerative medicine to introduce an innovative potential solution to postpartum pelvic injuriesâespecially when it comes to pelvic organ prolapse and birth-related injuries.â @rosmonline
We dive into Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapyâwhat it is, how it works, and why it could be part of the missing link when pelvic floor symptoms donât resolve with rehab alone.â
Hereâs what we cover:
đčWhat exactly is PRP & how does it work to heal damaged tissue?
đčThe anatomy of the pelvic floor and its ability to actually regenerateâ
đčHow PRP is used for pelvic floor injuries & tissue trauma after birthâ
đčWhy past injuriesâyes, even from years agoâcan slow or block your recoveryâ
đč The reality of chronic pelvic pain and the need for full-body, comprehensive careâ
đč The power of collaboration between sports medicine + pelvic floor PTâ
đč And the biggest truth of all: you donât have to accept a ânew normalâ that doesnât feel like youâ
Whether youâve been brushed off or just stuck in the âIâve tried everythingâ phaseâthis convo gives hope, science, and a path forward.â
