POP can be present without a woman having any symptoms. Traditional classification of prolapse used the terms; cystocele, recotcele and uterine prolapse to describe the different types of POP. More recently, terminology has changed to anterior vaginal wall descent (cystocele) and posterior vaginal wall descent (rectocele) describing the vaginal wall that has been most affected and the corresponding pelvic organ. Anterior = bladder or cystocele; Posterior = rectum and/or small bowel or rectocele; and Uterine = uterus or cervix Vault = women who have had a hysterectomy the ‘cuff’ or top of the vaginal descends Symptoms may include; Vaginal heaviness or feeling of something slipping down in the vagina Dragging sensation Low back pain Difficulty emptying your bladder Difficulty emptying your bowel Management options include; Addressing modifiable contributing factors such as constipation, repetitive heavy lifting, pelvic floor muscle weakness, respiratory conditions and bodyweight See a pelvic physio who can provide a tailored management plan specific to you which may include -Pelvic Floor Exercises -Strengthening the rest of your pelvis (i.e. glutes, hammys, core) with low impact resistance training or pilates -A vaginal support pessary, which is a removable, user friendly, medical device that can be used to provide extra support to your pelvic organs, like a sportsbra! -Optimising bowel emptying to prevent unnecessary straining on the toilet which can increase symptoms -Speak to you GP regarding topical oestrogen cream to see if this is appropriate for you -Speak with you Gynaecologist about alternative treatment options, in more serious cases surgery may be recommended What to do if you are experiencing symptoms or have any concerns….. Book an appointment for an individualised assessment and treatment plan. At Flow Pelvic Physio, our physios are specifically trained to manage prolapse and prolapse type symptoms, including pessary fittings. Speak to you GP regarding medical management options Early stage post natal and experiencing vaginal heaviness? Firstly, don’t panic. Early stage postpartum women commonly present to clinic fearing the have a prolapse, which can be quite distressing, especially busy looking after a new born baby. During the early postpartum stage, the body is busy healing and the body’s hormones mean there is a ‘normal’ degree of laxity in the vaginal tissue. This can create prolapse like symptoms. If you are symptomatic and feeling uncertain, book an appointment for peace of mind and a clear management plan.
