Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Rochester Hills, MI

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and connective tissue in a woman’s pelvis weaken, stretch or tear. This causes the pelvic organs – including the uterus, cervix, bladder, rectum and bowel — to fall from their proper position into the vagina. Pelvic prolapse is not only uncomfortable or even painful, it is embarrassing and can interfere with intimacy and normal daily life.
