Ferne McCann was crowned winner of Miss Essex in 2012 and finished in the Top 15 in Miss England. Being thrust into the spotlight, Ferne made the decision to move into television and was cast in the ninth series of The Only Way Is Essex. Ferne became a fan favourite and used her new found fame to make the brave decision to take part in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, finishing in an impressive third place. Striking while the iron was hot, Ferne made appearances on ITV This Morning, Up Late with Rylan and Celebs Go Dating. Her string of TV appearances worked in her favour as she landed her own reality show after the birth of her daughter entitled Ferne McCann: First Time Mum. It was during the birth of her baby that Ferne began to experience some serious health problems.
“Well it could be a sign of another problem like a prolapse…which would fit with the heaviness that you’ve mentioned,” said the medical professional.
Other symptoms of the condition include a vaginal lump, a visible lump protruding from the vagina, vaginal discharge and bleeding, difficulties in passing urine and urinary incontinence.
Bladder & Bowel Community said on their website: “There are four options to consider if told you have prolapse or incontinence, you could do nothing.
If the prolapse is not causing any interference with your daily life. However, avoiding heavy lifting or prolonged standing will reduce the symptoms.
Physiotherapy may help with the use of pelvic floor exercises and equipment aimed at stimulating and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. The use of a mechanical device called a pessary is an option.
This is used to ‘hold up’ the prolapse and reduce the symptoms. Finally, the most common treatment is surgery.
This aims to repair the pelvic floor.” If you suspect you may have any of these symptoms, speak to your GP about the best treatment option.
