Prolapses from squatting with weights

I keep trying, but haven't managed to do it yet.

LMFAO

That's hot!

Oh god it just makes me cringe so much! I've just been so put off after hearing about it, I hope it won't happen to me XD

I think it's just temporary, it pops out and gets sucked back in or something... this is not the best subject. Not sure though.

Yes it is true it does happen and NO it does not just go back up. There are surgical procedures to reattach and secure the prolapsed organs. I've coded them for hospital inpatient procedures.

I don't think you'd do it squatting with normal amounts of weight, realistically. I was squatting I around 120 lbs on a deadlift bar, and had no concerns.

But I'm sure it could happen, just based on the advisories to avoid squatting with heavy weights during pregnancy due to the downward pelvic pressure it creates. So if you're concerned about it, talk to your doctor, and don't try to lift like an olympian.

Yer sounds like could be true few power lifters get all sort of problems but look at weight they are lifting and weight you are lifting wouldn't worry about it problems you should be worrying about is knees popping out back pain etc just train hard and safe like for me my dead lifts have anyways been good and then few years ago I felt a pain and every time I lifted I felt it so I just stopped dead lifts and pain has never come back so just listen to your body don't worry what others are doing everybody is different

But really wouldn't worry about prolapsed haha need to be lifting some heavy heavy *kitten* weight before that **** haha

I think you would have to be lifting an insane amount of weight (or pre-existing condition) to worry about that. I do squats regularly and have never really worried about it.

Anal prolapse can occur even if you don't lift, and is associated with "abnormally low descent of the peritoneum covering the anterior rectal wall, poor posterior rectal fixation, resulting in loss of posterior fixation of the rectum to the sacral curve, loss of the normal horizontal position of the rectum with lengthening (redundant rectosigmoid)and downward displacement of the sigmoid and rectum, long rectal mesentery, a deep cul-de-sac, levator diastasis, a patulous, weak anal sphincter.

Some authors question whether these abnormalities are the cause, or secondary to the prolapse. Other predisposing factors/associated conditions include: pregnancy (although 35% of women who develop rectal prolapse are nulliparous (have never given birth), previous surgery(30-50% of females with the condition underwent previous gynecological surgery), pelvic neuropathies and neurological disease, high gastrointestinal helminth loads (e.g. Whipworm), COPD, and cystic fibrosis"

It is actually most common in elderly women with multiple births. In short, don't let it stop you from lifting, don't have 20 kids, and do your pelvic diaphragm exercises. Also if you DO have any issues, ease back in to lifting, ex. if you gave birth a month ago and had an episiotomy don't try for a PR!

Yes it's true, i seen pics of it. :-O

Maybe they're fake, but pics do exist.

ages ago there was a video of some guy squatting a hellacious barbell and it happened to him.

I keep a stapler in my gym bag just incase.

I just spewed my coffee all over my laptop.
