Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) involves pelvic organs dropping from their intended position. Risk factors of pelvic organ prolapse can include pregnancy or childbirth, menopause, pelvic surgery, or increased weight. Frequent straining such as from a chronic cough, chronic constipation, or heavy lifting can also increase your risk for pelvic organ prolapse. Some connective tissue conditions or family history of pelvic organ prolapse increase the risk of prolapse. Having any of these risk factors do not necessarily guarantee you will have a POP. Learn how to avoid a prolapse by seeking out preventative therapy today!

Pelvic Organ Prolapse involves pelvic organs dropping from their intended position. Symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse can include pelvic pressure, heaviness or pain, low back pain, and seeing or feeling a visible bulge. Symptoms can also include urinary changes such as a weak urine stream, not being able to empty the bladder, or urinating more often. Bowel changes such as not emptying all the way or needing to provide pelvic support during toileting can also be a common symptom. These symptoms do not always indicate a pelvic organ prolapse and the only way to be sure is to see a professional. Regardless of why you have these symptoms, pelvic floor therapy can help!

Pelvic Organ Prolapse involves pelvic organs dropping from their intended position. This can lead to a bulging feeling or heaviness in the va**na or re**um. The muscles and tissue of the pelvic floor typically hold these organs in place but can weaken over time due to a variety of factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause. Pelvic organ prolapse can often be treated without surgery such as a bladder sling or hysterectomy. There are more conservative options that can help not only with prolapse but with the adjoining symptoms. Pelvic floor therapy can help!!

Urinary Incontinence affects over 60% of women. It is defined as any involuntary loss of urine, no matter how frequent or rare. "Sometimes" is too often. This can be with pressure activities like sneezing, coughing, jumping, or with urgency such as not being able to make it to the bathroom in time. It can also be caused by certain triggers like running water, or have no consistent symptoms at all. The bottom line is: although it is common, it’s not normal. You don’t have to deal with involuntary bladder leakage. There are things you can do to prevent this or help yourself heal if it is something you are currently dealing with. Seek out help today!

More women than men report dealing with constipation. This can be for many reasons including fluid intake, how you sit on the toilet, hormones, diet, and medications. It is not just about how often you have a bowel movement, which can vary greatly between people. It is also about how difficult it is to get started, emptying all the way, and the quality of your bowel movement. Long term constipation can increase your risk of hemorrhoids, prolapse, impaction, and reduced re**al awareness.

Did you know pelvic floor therapy is one of the conservative options for constipation? It can help you avoid constipation and maintain regular bowel movements for the long haul!
