PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE

An estimated 34 million women worldwide are affected by pelvic organ prolapse (POP). POP is found to be a difficult topic for women to talk about. POP is essentially a form of herniation of the vaginal wall due to laxity of the collagen, fascia and muscles within the pelvis and surrounding the vagina.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse includes:

• Cystocele: bladder herniation through the upper vaginal wall.
• Rectocele: rectum bulging through the lower vaginal wall.
• Enterocele: bowel bulging through the deep vaginal wall.
• Uterine prolapse: uterus falling into the vaginal wall.
