  • the network of muscles, ligaments, and skin In and around a woman's vagina acts as a complex support structure that holds pelvic organs in place.
  • This support network includes muscles of the vaginal walls. When these muscles weaken or tear a pelvic organ, such as an anal or vaginal prolapse, can occur.
  • pelvic organ prolapse POP
  • POP pelvic organ prolapse
  • POP can lead to erectile, bladder and bowel issues as the organs lean into each other which can affect their healthy functioning.
  • vaginal prolapse is a condition in which structures such as the uterus, rectum, bladder, urethra, small bowel, or the vagina itself may begin to prolapse. Without medical treatment or surgery, these structures may eventually prolapse farther and farther into the vagina or even through the vaginal opening if their supports weaken enough.
  • the symptoms that result from vaginal prolapse commonly affect sexual function as well as bodily functions such as urination and defecation. Pelvic pressure and discomfort are also common symptoms.
  • vaginal prolapse The main types of vaginal prolapse are: rectocele (prolapse of the rectum) which occurs when a back wall of the vagina (rectovaginal fascia) weakens; cystocele (prolapse of the bladder), which occurs when the front wall of the vagina prolapses; and enterocele (herniated small bowel), which is a weakening of the upper vaginal supports.
  • Urinary stress incontinence urine leakage during coughing, sneezing and exercise
  • a prolapsed uterus involves a weakening of a group of ligaments called the uterosacral ligaments at the top of the vagina. This causes the uterus to fall which commonly causes both the front and back walls of the vagina to weaken as well.
