Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)


1. What Is POP?

When the bladder, uterus, or rectum drops lower due to weak pelvic floor support.

2. Early Signs to Watch

Feeling of heaviness, dragging, or a small bulge in the vagina. Some also have urine leaks.

3. Causes

Pregnancy, childbirth, chronic constipation, heavy lifting, or untreated diastasis recti.

4. Non-Surgical Solutions

Pelvic floor therapy, pessary support, and core strengthening can often control or reverse symptoms.

5. When Surgery Is Needed

Only in advanced cases. Most women improve with guided pelvic floor rehab.
