Doctors Near You for Pelvic Organ Prolapse in Port huron

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when one or more of the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, or rectum, descend from their normal position in the pelvis and bulge into the vagina. This condition can cause discomfort, pain, and urinary or bowel problems. It is often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles, which support these organs. Factors that can contribute to weakened pelvic floor muscles include childbirth, aging, chronic coughing, and heavy lifting. Treatment options for pelvic organ prolapse vary depending on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, lifestyle changes, such as pelvic floor exercises and avoiding straining, may be sufficient. More severe cases may require surgical intervention to repair the prolapsed organs.
