PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE
Prolapse surgery corrects pelvic organ descent — including bladder prolapse (cystocele), hernia of the rectum (rectocele), vaginal vault and uterine prolapse — when weakened pelvic support structures allow organs to shift into the vaginal canal. These are essentially hernias or a lack of support of the organs adjacent to the vagina.
Pelvic organ prolapse may cause vaginal bulging, pelvic pressure, urinary leakage, bowel difficulty, painful intercourse, lower back bain, inability to maintain a tampon, a lack of friction during intercourse or progressive discomfort. When symptoms become significant, surgical repair can restore structural support and improve physiologic function such as urine and fecal incontinence, as well as sexual dysfunction.
