Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse affects 1 in 3 women who have had children but can also affect women who have not been pregnant.
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when a pelvic organ, such as the bladder, bowel, rectum, or uterus, descends into the vagina, leading to symptoms like vaginal heaviness or the feeling of "something coming down." You might sometimes feel a bulge inside or outside the vagina. Additionally, you may experience bowel, bladder, or sexual symptoms based on the specific nature of your prolapse.
The pelvic organs are supported by ligaments and muscles, collectively known as the pelvic floor. Significant or repeated minor trauma to these structures can cause weakness, leading to organ prolapse. The severity of prolapse can range from minor to severe, and its impact on your quality of life can vary widely among individuals. Symptoms can fluctuate from day to day and may appear years after childbirth. Hormonal changes can also influence symptoms, with some women experiencing increased symptoms during menopause due to hormonal shifts. At PERFECT BALANCE, we offer a variety of treatment modalities and techniques to address prolapse.
