Pelvic Organ Prolapse after Childbirth

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting a woman's pelvic organs weaken, often due to childbirth. This weakening can lead to organs like the bladder, uterus, or rectum bulging into the vaginal canal, causing discomfort or pressure. Symptoms may include urinary issues, a feeling of heaviness, or visible bulging. Factors such as age, genetics, and hormonal changes also play a role. Treatment options range from pelvic floor exercises to surgical interventions, depending on the severity and the individual's health needs. It’s important for affected individuals to consult a healthcare professional for tailored advice.
