A woman’s body goes through many changes over the years. As a consequence, her pelvic floor muscles can weaken and lead to pelvic organ prolapse.
Trauma caused by several vaginal births and surgery can damage the tissues that support the uterus, vagina, gallbladder, and rectum. When the tissues that support these organs become damaged or stretched, the organs collapse from their normal position and push against the vaginal wall.
Estimates suggest that up to 50% of women suffer from pelvic organ prolapse at some point in their lives, but only a fraction experience severe symptoms.
We asked our expert at NUWA WORLD, Dr. Uzoma Nwaubani, to explain what can cause your symptoms, what prevention measures you can take, and how you can get treatment for pelvic organ prolapse.
