Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs become weakened or stretched, allowing organs such as the bladder, uterus, rectum, or vaginal walls to shift downward and press into or through the vagina. This condition can cause pelvic pressure or heaviness, a feeling of bulging, difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel, urinary leakage, and discomfort during everyday activities. Pelvic organ prolapse can develop for a variety of reasons, including childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, chronic constipation, or repeated pressure on the pelvic floor.

At Wyoming Urology, patients can receive personalized care for female pelvic floor conditions, including reconstructive surgery, bladder incontinence, and other women's health concerns. Treatment for pelvic organ prolapse depends on the severity of the condition and the patient's symptoms and may include pelvic floor therapy, lifestyle changes, supportive devices such as a pessary, or reconstructive surgical procedures when appropriate. Wyoming Urology focuses on developing an individualized treatment plan designed to relieve symptoms, improve pelvic support, restore function, and help patients return to a more comfortable quality of life.
