Pelvic organ prolapse is when one or more of the organs in the pelvis slip down from their normal position and bulge into the va**na.
A prolapse isn’t life-threatening, but it can cause pain and discomfort. Symptoms can usually be improved with pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes, but sometimes medical treatment is needed.
Symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse include:
🔹 a feeling of heaviness around your lower tummy and ge****ls (pelvis)
🔹 a dragging discomfort inside your va**na
feeling like there is something coming down into your va**na – it may feel like sitting on a small ball
🔹feeling or seeing a bulge or lump in or coming out of your va**na
🔹 discomfort or numbness during s*x
🔹 problems p*eing – such as feeling like your bladder isn’t emptying fully, needing to go to the toilet more often, or leaking a small amount of p*e when you cough, sneeze or exercise (stress incontinence)
