Understanding pelvic organ prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common yet often overlooked condition affecting many women. It occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs weaken, causing the bladder, uterus, rectum, or other structures to drop from their normal position. At NAU Urology Specialists, our experienced team in Austin provides advanced diagnostic and treatment options to restore comfort and quality of life.
Signs and symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse
Recognizing the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse is crucial for early intervention. Common signs include:
- A feeling of pressure or fullness in the pelvic area
- Visible bulging from the vagina
- Urinary incontinence or difficulty urinating
