Pelvic Organ Prolapse Treatment
Pelvic organ prolapse can feel scary — but it is far more common than most women realize, and pelvic floor PT can dramatically improve symptoms without surgery for most patients.
Symptoms
What pelvic organ prolapse can feel like.
- A feeling of heaviness, pressure, or 'falling out' in the vagina
- A visible or palpable bulge
- Pulling or dragging sensation, especially by the end of the day
- Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowels fully
- Leaking that comes and goes
- Pain or discomfort with intercourse
Why it happens
Common causes & contributors.
- Pregnancy and childbirth (vaginal or C-section) stretch and stress the support structures.
- Chronic constipation, straining, or heavy lifting with poor mechanics.
- Hormonal changes in peri/menopause that affect connective tissue strength.
- Genetics — some women have more naturally elastic connective tissue.
- Chronic cough or high-impact activity without good pressure management.
