When dealing with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), what you eat matters just as much as your exercises. While physical therapy is crucial, the right foods and supplements can give your body the building blocks it needs to strengthen pelvic tissues and support healing.
Foods That Help
- Collagen-Builders. Bone broth, eggs, citrus fruits, and berries provide nutrients that help repair and maintain connective tissues.
- Anti-Inflammatory Choices: Leafy greens, salmon, and turmeric reduce inflammation that can slow healing.
- Fiber-Rich Staples: Whole grains, vegetables, and legumes prevent constipation, reducing strain on weakened pelvic muscles.
- Hydration is Key: Water keeps tissues elastic and bowel movements regular—both critical for prolapse recovery.
For extra support:
- Magnesium – Eases muscle tension and constipation
- Bone Support (Calcium, D3, K2, Boron) – Reinforces pelvic bones and ligaments
- Zinc + Copper – Aids tissue repair
- Hyaluronic Acid – Boosts vaginal and pelvic tissue hydration
- Probiotics – Supports gut and vaginal microbiome balance
While nutrition alone won’t reverse prolapse, it does help your body heal more effectively—especially when combined with:
✔ Pelvic floor therapy (a specialist can tailor exercises to your needs)
✔ Topical support (like NeuEve’s products for tissue repair)
✔ Targeted supplements (such as our KegelBoost Kit)
Next Steps:
- Adjust your diet to include more collagen-boosting and anti-inflammatory foods
- Consider adding key supplements for extra support
- Work with a pelvic health PT for personalized guidance
