Pelvic organ prolapse
The pelvic organs - the uterus and appendages, vagina, bladder, rectum, urethra - are usually attached with ligaments to the pelvic skeleton and supported in anatomically correct position using muscles.
In some cases, the ligaments and muscles weaken and the pelvic organs are displaced, their prolapse occurs, which can lead to negative consequences, a deterioration in the quality of life and the development of functional and anatomical changes in the pelvic organs.
The reasons for the prolapse of the pelvic organs are many factors, including:
- genetic predisposition to systemic connective tissue diseases;
- traumatic childbirth;
- hormonal imbalance;
- an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, which may be associated with excess weight, heavy lifting, frequent constipation.
This disease is quite common, especially among women at a more mature age.

- recurrent pulling pain in the lower back or lower abdomen;
- feeling of a foreign body inside the vagina;
