Prolapse Surgery

Overview

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the uterus, bladder, or rectum descends due to weakened pelvic muscles. This surgery restores the organs to their normal positions, alleviating discomfort and improving quality of life.

Indications

• Vaginal bulge or pressure
• Difficulty urinating or bowel movements
• Pelvic heaviness or dragging sensation
• Recurrent urinary incontinence

Procedure

The surgeon repositions the pelvic organs and reinforces the vaginal walls using sutures or mesh, depending on the severity of prolapse. The approach can be vaginal or abdominal.

Benefits

• Relief from pelvic pressure and bulge
• Improved bladder and bowel control
• Restored vaginal function and support

Recovery

Initial recovery takes 2–3 weeks. Complete healing of pelvic tissues generally occurs within 6 weeks.
