Pelvic Organ Prolapse Q & A

What is pelvic organ prolapse?

Your pelvic organs, which include your cervix, uterus, vagina, and bladder, are held in place by your pelvic floor muscles. These muscles run horizontally across your lower abdominal area.

If your pelvic floor muscles weaken or loosen, then the pelvic organs fall into or out of your vagina, resulting in pelvic organ prolapse. 

Childbirth, aging, and hormonal changes affect the health and function of your pelvic floor muscles and contribute to the development of pelvic organ prolapse.

Zeid Pelvic Health Center specializes in urogynecology and the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. 

What are the types of pelvic organ prolapse?

The type of pelvic organ prolapse you have depends on the organs involved. The types include:

Cystocele

Cystocele occurs when the bladder drops into the vagina. It’s the most common type of pelvic organ prolapse in women. 

Rectocele

With rectocele, your rectum bulges into or out of the vagina. 

Uterine prolapse

If your uterus falls into your vagina, you have uterine prolapse. It’s not unusual for women to also experience enterocele (small intestine prolapse) in combination with uterine prolapse.

No matter the type, you may feel or see the dropped organ. Your pelvic organ prolapse may also cause urinary incontinence or fecal incontinence. 

What can I expect during a pelvic organ prolapse consultation?

When you visit Zeid Pelvic Health Center for a pelvic organ prolapse consultation, you can expect a patient-focused exam. 

During your consultation, Dr. Zeid reviews your symptoms as well as your medical, gynecological, and surgical history. Then, he performs a physical and pelvic exam. 

To assess bladder health and function, Dr. Zeid may also perform urodynamic testing or a peripheral nerve evaluation. Zeid Pelvic Health Center is a full-service practice and offers many tests as in-office procedures. 

How is pelvic organ prolapse treated?

Zeid Pelvic Health Center creates personalized pelvic organ prolapse treatment plans based on prolapse type, the severity of symptoms, and personal preferences.

Treatment may include medical or surgical interventions, such as:

  • Pelvic floor muscle exercises
  • Diet modification
  • Pessary (removable device to support pelvic organs)
  • Surgery to improve pelvic floor muscle support

Dr. Zeid talks to you about your diagnosis and treatment options so you can make an informed decision about your care.
