A pelvic floor prolapse is a condition in which the organs located in the pelvic area, such as the uterus and the vagina walls drop from their normal position.
A third of all women have experienced a prolapse in some form. It is very common in women who have experienced increased and constant pressure on the pelvic area and abdomen. This can cause drooping that may get worse if left untreated.
Pain during intercourse, pressure in the pelvic area, constipation, bleeding from the vagina, and backache are all commonly-reported symptoms.
A doctor may discover it during a routine pelvic exam. You might also require a CT scan or X-ray to determine the exact situation.
If home remedies such as exercise doesn’t lead to relief, you may need a pelvic floor reconstruction. A pelvic floor reconstruction works by restoring the organs in the pelvic area to their original position. This is carried out in a surgical environment, using your own tissue to secure the organs, or with a medical implant known as a mesh to support the vaginal tissues. There are many forms of pelvic floor reconstruction that depend on your specific circumstances and how advanced your pelvic floor prolapse is.
