Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs weaken, causing organs like the bladder, rectum, or uterus to drop into the vaginal area. Common in women post-childbirth or menopause, pelvic organ prolapse can lead to symptoms such as discomfort, urinary issues, and bowel problems. Treatment options include pelvic floor exercises, pessaries, or surgery.
