About Vaginal Prolapse

Vaginal prolapse repair is a surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to correct the descent or herniation of pelvic organs (such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum) into the vaginal canal. This condition, often resulting from weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments due to childbirth, aging, or chronic straining, can cause significant discomfort, urinary issues, and a sensation of pelvic pressure. The procedure aims to restore normal anatomy and function, alleviate symptoms, and improve quality of life. Surgical techniques vary, including native tissue repair, use of synthetic mesh (though now more restricted), or biological grafts, and may be combined with other procedures like hysterectomy. The approach is tailored to the type and severity of the prolapse and the patient's overall health.
