Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse is characterized by descent of pelvic organs from their normal positions into the vagina. It typically develops when the pelvic floor collapses after gynecological cancer treatment, childbirth, or heavy lifting, and damage to connective tissue can result in specific types of prolapse, including cystocele, involving the bladder, or rectocele, involving the rectum, or both. The severity of the condition determines treatment options, which range from conservative approaches like physical therapy to surgical intervention.
