Understanding Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs (such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum) weaken or become stretched, causing one or more of these organs to drop or press into the vaginal wall. This condition can develop gradually and may be influenced by factors such as childbirth, ageing, or chronic straining.

Common Symptoms

• A sensation of pressure or heaviness in the pelvis or vagina
• A feeling of a bulge or lump coming down into the vagina
• Discomfort or pain during physical activities, such as lifting or exercise
• Urinary incontinence or difficulty emptying the bladder
• Sexual dysfunction or discomfort during intercourse

Risk Factors

• Childbirth: Particularly after multiple vaginal deliveries
• Ageing: Decreased tissue elasticity over time
• Obesity: Excess weight can strain pelvic muscles
• Chronic Straining: Due to constipation or heavy lifting
• Genetic Predisposition: A family history of prolapse may increase your risk

What to Expect from Our Prolapse Evaluation & Management

1. Initial Consultation & History Review
• Our gynaecologist will discuss your symptoms, medical and obstetric history, and any factors that may contribute to pelvic floor weakness.
• We ensure you understand the condition and the importance of addressing it early.
2. Comprehensive Pelvic Examination
• A detailed clinical examination is performed to assess the degree of prolapse and evaluate pelvic floor strength.
• Additional tests, such as ultrasound or MRI, may be recommended if further information is needed.
3. Diagnosis & Personalised Management Plan
• We diagnose the severity of the prolapse (mild, moderate, or severe) and discuss your treatment options.
• Options may range from conservative management (pelvic floor exercises, pessaries, lifestyle modifications) to surgical interventions if necessary.
• Clear explanations of each option are provided, so you can make an informed decision about your care.
4. Follow-Up & Ongoing Support
• Regular appointments help monitor your condition, track improvements, and adjust treatments as needed.
• Our team is available to answer questions, provide additional advice on pelvic floor health, and offer support throughout your recovery journey.
