Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and tissues weaken, allowing one or more pelvic organs to descend into the vaginal wall. It can cause a sensation of pressure, bulging, or heaviness, and may be accompanied by discomfort during activity or intimacy. The good news: prolapse is highly manageable with physiotherapy. Treatment options include pelvic floor muscle training to improve support, lifestyle modifications, and pessary fitting — which has a 90% satisfaction rate. Non-surgical approaches are effective for most types and stages of prolapse.
