Genital prolapse, also known as pelvic organ prolapse (POP), occurs when the pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum, protrude into or outside of the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. This condition is common, especially among women who have given birth vaginally, undergone multiple pregnancies, experienced menopause, or engaged in heavy lifting or straining activities.
Our genital prolapse service at Women Wellness Clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive care and management for individuals experiencing pelvic organ prolapse. This service includes:
Comprehensive Evaluation:
We conduct a thorough evaluation, which may include a review of your medical history, symptoms, and pelvic examination.
Pelvic floor assessment may be performed to assess the degree of prolapse and identify any associated pelvic floor dysfunction.
Individualized Treatment Plan:
Based on the results of the evaluation and your specific symptoms and needs, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to you.
Treatment options may include conservative management, pelvic floor exercises, pessary use, or surgical interventions, depending on the severity of prolapse and its impact on your quality of life.
Conservative Management:
Conservative management options may include lifestyle modifications, such as weight management, avoiding heavy lifting or straining, and pelvic floor physical therapy to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve support for the pelvic organs.
We may also recommend the use of vaginal pessaries, which are supportive devices inserted into the vagina to provide additional support and alleviate symptoms of prolapse.
Surgical Interventions:
In cases where conservative measures are ineffective or the prolapse is severe, surgical interventions may be necessary to repair and restore pelvic organ support.
Surgical options for pelvic organ prolapse may include vaginal or abdominal approaches, such as vaginal hysterectomy, sacrocolpopexy, or anterior and posterior repair, depending on the specific organs involved and the extent of prolapse.
Fertility and Sexual Function:
We prioritize discussing the potential impact of prolapse treatment on fertility, sexual function, and pelvic floor health.
Our healthcare professionals offer counseling and support to address any concerns or questions you may have about the effects of prolapse treatment on your reproductive and sexual health.
Long-Term Follow-up and Support:
We provide ongoing support, follow-up, and monitoring to assess treatment effectiveness, manage symptoms, and address any emerging concerns or complications.
Our dedicated healthcare professionals are committed to providing personalized care and support throughout your prolapse treatment journey.
