Help For Pelvic Prolapse

Most women experience pregnancy at least once, and all women eventually go through menopause – two “facts of life” that increase your risk for pelvic organ prolapse. This occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the uterus, bladder or rectum become weak or loose and one or more of the pelvic organs drop or press into or out of the vagina. While pelvic prolapse is no threat to your health, it can be a distressing quality of life issue.

In this podcast, he discusses the types of prolapse and what you can do to keep the problem from worsening. He also talks about some surgical and non-surgical solutions for pelvic prolapse. Listen and learn what you can do to address this common condition.
