Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Prolapse of the uterus, urine bladder, intestines, and/or rectum.
Pelvic organ prolapse includes the uterus, urine bladder, intestines, and/or rectum. It happens when these pelvic organs slide down or forward through the vaginal walls, or when a part of the rectum slides out of the anus. The “hammock” that shelters these organs is responsible for this uncomfortable state. Specifically, the pelvic floor muscles are incapable of supporting these organs. The peritoneum fascia is weak, resulting in the same outcome. Why is this happening? Physical therapy and pelvic floor muscle strengthening can address many of the causes, though they vary.

What is and isn’t normal in urination?
Maintaining an erection, the rapid contraction of the muscles that work together to achieve orgasm, ejaculation, are all processes that are accompanied by pleasure and under normal circumstances should not be associated with pain, discomfort and frustration.
One in three women and one in ten men will experience pelvic pain at some point in their lives due to dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles.
