Hi Linda,
Thank you for joining the EmpowHer community. As you may already know, pregnancy, childbirth and chronic heavy lifting can cause the pelvic organs, like the bladder, vagina and rectum to drop or sag. In addition to urinary incontinence, some women experience vaginal spotting, painful sexual intercourse, fecal incontinence and difficulty with bowel movements.
You might find this video and information by Dr. Karyn Eilber helpful in answering some of your questions:

Also, here is the link to the Bladder Prolapse Community:

Here you can connect with other women who are coping with this same condition.
Talk to your doctor, if by telephone before your scheduled appointment, before using laxatives.
Hope this helps!
