Colpocleisis

Colpocleisis is a surgical procedure used to treat pelvic organ prolapse, primarily in women. During the operation, the vaginal canal is partially or completely closed to support the pelvic organs and alleviate symptoms such as discomfort and urinary issues. It’s typically recommended for older women who no longer wish to maintain vaginal function, as it effectively reduces prolapse symptoms without the intention of restoring the vagina’s openness. The procedure often results in less pain and quicker recovery compared to other surgical options. However, it's important to discuss potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider.
