Pelvic Organ Prolapse
If the uterus, bladder, vagina or bowel slips out of position, this is referred to as a prolapse. It is caused when the supporting ligaments and fascia become weak, allowing one or more of the organs to drop.
Symptoms
- Women with minor degree of prolapse have little to no symptoms
- Lump in or outside the vagina
- Heavy, dragging feeling
- Urinary Symptoms such as frequency and incomplete bladder emptying
- Issues with intercourse
- Bowel problems like difficulty moving or incomplete emptying
Treatment
- No treatment required for some
- Pessary
- Surgery – usually requires repair of damaged fascia and ligaments
Note: We DO NOT use MESH for repair of prolapse
