Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Is something coming out of somewhere it never used to?

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues change, causing one or more pelvic organs to descend into the vaginal space. This can lead to symptoms such as heaviness, bulging, discomfort, or bladder and bowel changes.

Our women’s health physiotherapist can play a vital role in managing prolapse through tailored pelvic floor rehabilitation, pessary fittings, lifestyle advice, and education. Physiotherapy can help improve muscle strength and function, reduce symptoms, and support women in returning to the activities they enjoy. This can often delay or avoid the need for surgery.
