Pelvic prolapse occurs when one or more pelvic organs (bladder, urethra, uterus, vagina, small bowel rectum) fall from their normal locations. The condition affects many women, and often occurs following childbirth, menopause or a hysterectomy.
Symptoms of Pelvic Prolapse
Pressure in the vagina or pelvic area
Lump or bulge visible from the vaginal opening
Urinary, bowel or sexual dysfunction
Low back pain
Low abdominal pain
Discomfort with urination, defecation or sexual intercourse
The Best Treatment for Pelvic Prolapse
Sacrocolpopexy which uses surgical mesh to suspend the vagina and correct pelvic prolapse can now be performed robotically. This allows for less pain and a quicker recovery.
