Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when the tissues supporting the uterus and vagina become weak, causing them to get displaced from their usual position.
Several factors can contribute to POP including pregnancy, childbirth, chronic cough/constipation, menopause.
Symptoms can include feeling a ‘bulge’ in the vagina, bladder/bowel problems such as incomplete emptying or incontinence. POP can sometimes interfere with sex.
Though a pelvic organ prolapse is rarely life-threatening, it affects quality of life.
There are various treatment options for POP – non surgical as well as surgery.
