What Is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
EndoPelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when the muscles and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs weaken, allowing one or more organs—such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum—to shift downward or press into the vaginal canal.
This condition can develop gradually and may range from mild to more noticeable symptoms.
Prolapse is not uncommon, especially after childbirth, menopause, or as part of the natural aging process—but it is not something you have to live with.
Types of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Different types of prolapse are classified based on which organ is affected.
Bladder Prolapse (Cystocele)
Occurs when the bladder drops into the vaginal wall, often leading to urinary symptoms.
Uterine Prolapse
Happens when the uterus descends into the vaginal canal.
Rectocele
Occurs when the rectum bulges into the back wall of the vagina, sometimes affecting bowel movements.
Vaginal Vault Prolapse
May occur after a hysterectomy when the top of the vaginal canal loses support.
Our providers will determine the type and severity of prolapse to guide treatment recommendations.
Common Symptoms of Prolapse
Symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the condition, but many women experience:
• A feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvic area
• A noticeable bulge or fullness in the vagina
• Discomfort when standing or walking for long periods
• Urinary symptoms such as leakage or difficulty emptying the bladder
• Bowel movement difficulties
• Discomfort during intercourse
Some women may notice symptoms more at the end of the day or after prolonged activity.
What Causes Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
Pelvic organ prolapse typically develops when the pelvic floor muscles and supporting tissues become weakened or stretched.
Common contributing factors include:
• Pregnancy and vaginal childbirth
• Aging and loss of tissue elasticity
• Menopause and decreased estrogen levels
• Chronic straining (constipation or heavy lifting)
• Obesity
• Previous pelvic surgery
