Pelvic Organ Prolapse
What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when the muscles and connective tissue in the pelvis weaken, resulting in prolapse or shifting of the pelvic organs from their normal position. This weakening is most commonly a result of pregnancy, childbirth, advanced age, connective tissue disorder, obesity, constipation, pelvic surgery or repetitive straining and heavy lifting. The organs in the pelvis that can be affected by POP include the re**um, uterus, cervix, va**na, urethra and bladder.
What are the common symptoms of POP?
Feeling heaviness, fullness, pulling, or aching in the pelvis, va**na or re**um. It gets worse by the end of the day or during a bowel movement.
Seeing or feeling a "bulge" or "something coming out" of the va**na or re**um
Having a hard time starting to urinate or emptying the bladder completely
Leaking urine with coughing, laughing, or exercise
Feeling an urgency to urinate
Leaking stool or having a hard time controlling gas
Straining to have a bowel movement or feeling constipated
Feeling an urgency to have a bowel movement

What tests are available to help identify POP?
A thorough physical exam can help to identify the presence of POP. Additional tests may also help to better determine the extent of POP and which organs are specifically involved
How is pelvic floor organ prolapse (POP) treated?
