Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and ligaments supporting the pelvic organs weaken, causing the uterus, bladder, or rectum to drop into or press against the vaginal wall. This condition can lead to pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, pain, and discomfort.
At DYU Obstetrics and Gynaecology, we offer advanced pelvic floor repair and prolapse surgeries, ensuring effective symptom relief, restored pelvic function, and improved quality of life for our patients.
Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- Feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic area
- Vaginal bulging or protrusion
- Urinary incontinence or difficulty emptying the bladder
- Pain or discomfort during intercourse
- Chronic constipation or bowel issues
- Lower back pain or pelvic discomfort when standing or walking
Causes & Risk Factors
- Aging & Menopause – Estrogen loss weakens pelvic tissues.
- Pregnancy & Childbirth – Vaginal deliveries can stretch pelvic muscles.
- Chronic Coughing or Heavy Lifting – Increases pelvic floor strain.
- Obesity – Excess weight adds pressure on pelvic muscles.
- Hysterectomy – Removal of the uterus can weaken pelvic support.
- Genetic Factors – Some women naturally have weaker pelvic muscles.
Types of Pelvic Floor Repair & Prolapse Surgeries
1. Anterior & Posterior Vaginal Repair (Colporrhaphy)
- Strengthens vaginal walls and repairs pelvic floor support.
- Used to treat bladder (cystocele) or rectal (rectocele) prolapse.
2. Uterine Suspension or Hysteropexy
- Lifts and repositions the prolapsed uterus.
- Alternative to hysterectomy for women who wish to preserve their uterus.
3. Vaginal Vault Suspension (Sacrocolpopexy)
- Supports the vaginal walls after hysterectomy.
- Performed using laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques.
4. Sling Procedures for Urinary Incontinence
- Minimally invasive surgery to support the bladder and reduce leakage.
- Commonly used for stress urinary incontinence.
5. Perineorrhaphy (Perineal Repair Surgery)
- Repairs and strengthens the perineal area for better vaginal support.
- Often performed after childbirth-related perineal damage.
6. Pelvic Mesh Repair (For Severe Cases)
- Reinforces pelvic structures with biocompatible mesh.
- Used when traditional repairs fail or in cases of recurrent prolapse.
