PREMIUM Pelvic organ prolapse: Why women should not ignore that feeling Saturday Magazine Just now Listen

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs weaken, allowing the bladder, uterus, vagina, or rectum to descend from their normal position.

For grade one prolapse, treatment can focus on strengthening the pelvic floor and preventing the condition from deteriorating, while women with grade two prolapse may benefit from exercises that can sometimes improve the condition.

Pelvic organ prolapse is the displacement of organs within the pelvic cavity into the vagina.
