Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition where one or more pelvic organs—such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum—descend from their normal position and press into the vaginal canal. This happens when the pelvic floor muscles and supporting tissues weaken over time.
Although prolapse is common, especially after childbirth or with aging, many women hesitate to seek help. The good news is that effective treatment options are available, ranging from conservative care to advanced surgical procedures.
Dr. Amit Majumdar, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with super-specialty expertise in urogynecology, provides comprehensive prolapse management focused on restoring support, relieving symptoms, and improving quality of life.
Understanding Pelvic Organ Prolapse
The pelvic floor acts like a supportive hammock for the pelvic organs. When this support weakens, organs may shift downward.
Depending on the organ involved, prolapse can be classified into different types.
Types of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
1. Uterine Prolapse
The uterus descends into the vaginal canal.
2. Cystocele (Bladder Prolapse)
The bladder bulges into the front wall of the vagina.
3. Rectocele (Rectal Prolapse into Vagina)
The rectum bulges into the back wall of the vagina.
4. Vault Prolapse
Occurs after hysterectomy when the top of the vagina loses support.
In many cases, more than one type may occur together.
