What is organ prolapse?
Organ prolapse, a condition stemming from weakened pelvic tissues and pelvic floor muscles, occurs when the pelvic organs descend into the vaginal area. These organs are normally supported by the resilient pelvic floor muscles. However, factors such as childbirth, chronic constipation, and various health issues can lead to the stretching or tearing of pelvic tissues and the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.
Experiencing organ prolapse can be discomforting, affecting your daily life and overall well-being. Fortunately, at Kintsugi Physical Therapy & Wellness in Normandy Park, WA, we offer pelvic floor therapy as a holistic approach to alleviate your discomfort and provide relief. We understand the impact this condition can have on your physical and emotional health, and our skilled therapists are here to guide you on your healing journey.
Signs of organ prolapse in women
There are several ways you can tell if you are dealing with an organ prolapse. Common symptoms are as follows:
- Feelings of ‘heaviness’ in the vagina
- Sensation of something descending in the vagina
- Pain during intercourse
- Problems emptying bladder and/or bowels
- Recurring urinary tract infections
- Noticing blood on your underwear when you are not menstruating
Some women find the only way they can relieve these symptoms is by lying down. If you’ve been struggling with these symptoms, Kintsugi Physical Therapy & Wellness understands that you’re most likely feeling lost and frustrated. Our skilled therapists specialize in organ prolapse and have knowledge of several therapeutic methods to help bring you relief.
