Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP):
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) occurs when pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum slip down from their normal position and press against the vaginal walls. This happens due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and support tissues.
POP develops gradually and may affect bladder or bowel control, sexual comfort, and daily activities. Early diagnosis helps prevent worsening and long-term discomfort.

POP is more common in women with:
Vaginal childbirth history
Aging or menopause
Obesity or heavy physical strain
Chronic constipation or coughing
Previous pelvic surgery
Weak connective tissues
Common Symptoms

Vaginal bulging sensation
Difficulty passing urine or stools
Frequent urination
Lower back or pelvic pain
Discomfort during intercourse
Symptoms often increase after standing or physical activity.

Frequently asked questions
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when one or more pelvic organs, such as the bladder or uterus, drop from their normal position due to weakened pelvic muscles and tissues.
Common symptoms include pelvic pressure, difficulty with urination or bowel movements, lower back pain, and a visible bulge of tissue from the vagina.
Treatment options range from lifestyle changes and pelvic floor exercises to the use of pessaries or surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the prolapse.
IVF alone is not known to be the cause of all birth defects. The birth defect rate for non-IVF pregnancies is around 2%. The risk of having an IVF baby is a little higher based on some studies. The reason for this could be caused by delayed conception or possibly by an underlying cause of infertility.
While POP cannot always be prevented, practicing pelvic floor exercises, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding heavy lifting can reduce your risk.
