What is Prolapse?
Prolapse is a condition where pelvic organs slip down from their normal position due to weakened support structures. This can affect the uterus, bladder, or rectum.
It commonly occurs due to:
- Vaginal childbirth
- Aging and menopause
- Weak pelvic floor muscles
- Chronic pressure (constipation, coughing, heavy lifting)
Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- Feeling of heaviness or pressure in pelvis
- Bulge or tissue protruding from vagina
- Urinary leakage or difficulty urinating
- Constipation or bowel issues
- Pain during intercourse
These symptoms can significantly affect daily comfort and quality of life.
Treatment Options for Prolapse
Treatment depends on the severity of prolapse and patient condition.
1. Non-Surgical Treatment
- Pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises)
- Vaginal pessary support device
- Lifestyle changes and weight management
These methods help in mild cases or early-stage prolapse.
2. Surgical Repair of Prolapse
Surgery is recommended when symptoms are severe or non-surgical treatment fails.
