About Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition where one or more pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, descend from their normal position and bulge into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. This procedure, performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, aims to restore the normal anatomy and function of the pelvic floor. Treatment options range from conservative management with pessaries to surgical interventions like vaginal or abdominal repairs, which may involve native tissue repair or the use of synthetic mesh or grafts. The goal is to alleviate symptoms like pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, and bowel dysfunction, thereby significantly improving a patient's quality of life and physical comfort.
