With a focus on holistic approaches and individualized care plans, FEMME-WELLBEING strives to help women improve their quality of life and regain confidence in their bodies.
Pelvic organ prolapse is common, affecting up to 50% of parous women with one in five reporting prolapse related symptoms.
Pelvic organ prolapse is characterised by descent of any of the pelvic organs into the vagina and at times beyond the introitus. Pelvic organ prolapse can cause a significant reduction in quality of life for a woman.
Types of prolapse:
• Anterior vaginal wall prolapse:
-Urethrocele: urethral descent
-Cystocele: bladder descent
-Cystourethrocele: descent of
bladder and urethra
• Posterior vaginal wall prolapse:
-Rectocele: rectal descent
-Enterocele: small bowel
descent
• Apical vaginal prolapse
-Uterovaginal: Uterine descent
with inversion of the vaginal apex
-Vault: Post hysterectomy
inversion of the vaginal apex
Factors contributing to an increased risk of prolapse:
• Pregnancy & childbirth
• Vaginal delivery
• Ageing
• Menopause
• Obesity, Large Fibroids,
Pelvic tumours
• Chronic cough,
Straining
• Heavy Lifting
• Genetic conditions e.g.
collagen deficiencies
• Previous pelvic surgery
• Spinal cord
injuries/neurological
conditions e.g. MS,
muscular dystrophy.
Symptoms of prolapse:
• Often none
• Heaviness, awareness of
bulge/ protrusion, dragging
sensation
• Requirement to reduce
prolapse to void/defecate
• Urinary: poor stream
recurrent UTls, frequency,
urgency, stress
incontinence
• Bowel: obstructed
defecation
• Sexual dysfunction/
discomfort
• Rarely - renal impairment
Types of Pessaries
A pessary is a device inserted in the vagina to support the walls and related pelvic organs. It offers a
low risk management option.
Menopause and the pelvic floor.
The muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor are oestrogen-sensitive, so oestrogen deficiency directly affects their strength. Similarly, changes in collagen, also due to less oestrogen production will affect the support mechanisms of the pelvic floor:
About half of post-menopausal women are found to have weakening of the front wall of the vagina (anterior vaginal wall prolapse – can affect bladder function); about a quarter have similar problems with the back (posterior) wall, which can affect bowel function, and one-fifth with the highest part of the vagina.
The most common type of incontinence is when urine leaks during activities such as coughing, sneezing, lifting, and during exercise (stress incontinence). It can be caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Local oestrogen (applied into the vagina in cream, pessary or ring formulation) has been shown to improve many bladder problems and reduce urine infections. Genuine stress incontinence would not appear to be helped by oestrogen alone, but it does seem to add to the action of other treatments being used.
