Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition in which the muscles, ligaments and tissues that support your pelvic organs become too weak to hold your organs in place. Here are a few types different prolapse.
Cystocele- wall between the bladder and the vagina weakens, the bladder may drop or sag into the vagina.
Rectocele- wall of tissue between a woman’s rectum and vaginal wall weakens. Without the support of these pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, the front wall of the rectum sags and bulges into the vagina
Uterine prolapse- the uterus drop down into your vagina.
If you are experiencing any POP symptoms, see your Urologist or Gynecologist for an Evaluation. Depending on the severity of the prolapse, pelvic floor PT may be helpful. Did you know PFPT’s can also fit and manage pessaries which is a type of vaginal orthotic that can help with organ support.
