Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Do you sometimes feel pressure/fullness of like there is something falling out of your pelvic floor (vagina or rectum?) Do you notice low back pain that is more prevalent later in the day? Does it feel like there is something physically getting in the way or uncomfortable/painful when you're being intimate with your partner?

The pelvic floor acts as a supportive hammock made up of muscles, ligaments, and tissue to keep your organs inside of you. In cases of dysfunction, there can be too much mobility in the joints and laxity in the muscles which can lead to difficulty performing functional tasks and pain. This condition is called pelvic organ prolapse and can include several different types of prolapse, including:

• Rectocele
• Cystocele
• Enterocele
• Uterine prolapse
