Comprehensive Care for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Feeling a bulge or pressure in your pelvic area? These are common signs of pelvic organ prolapse, a condition where one or more pelvic organs (like the bladder, uterus, or bowels) shift out of place. Though it may sound daunting, physical therapy can often manage this condition effectively.
At Mana Physical Therapy, we provide compassionate, customized care to help alleviate your symptoms. Begin your journey to relief by scheduling a consultation at our Lake Como or East Brunswick clinics today.
Causes of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Your pelvic organs are supported by a sling of muscles known as the pelvic floor. When these muscles weaken or sustain damage, they may struggle to hold the organs in place. Common contributing factors include aging, vaginal childbirth, and prolonged abdominal pressure from activities like chronic coughing.
Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- A bulging sensation in the vaginal or pelvic region
- Pelvic or vaginal pressure that worsens throughout the day
- Lower back discomfort without an identifiable cause
- Pain during intercourse
- Urinary incontinence
