Pelvic Organ Prolapse Treatment

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when muscles and tissues supporting pelvic organs weaken, causing organs like the bladder, uterus, or rectum to descend into the vaginal canal. Treatment options vary based on severity, symptoms, and patient health. Mild cases may improve with pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), lifestyle changes, or vaginal pessaries—devices that support the organs. More advanced cases might require surgical repair to restore normal position and function. Surgery can involve tightening tissues or using synthetic mesh, with outcomes aiming to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. An individualized approach ensures the most appropriate, effective treatment plan.
