June is Pelvic Organ Prolapse Awareness Month

Did you know that 33-50% of women will have some form of pelvic organ prolapse in their lifetime, and most have never even heard of it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
June is Pelvic Organ Prolapse Awareness Month, so it's our job as physiotherapists to raise awareness about the conservative role in managing this common condition.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pelvic organ prolapse can be defined as the descent of the pelvic organs (the bladder, urethra, uterus, va**na, re**um, or small intestine) toward or through the va**nal or a**l opening. Some women with pelvic organ prolapse have no symptoms at all, and some will experience:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-A bulge at the va**nal or re**al opening that can be seen or felt and that may change depending on position or activity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Heaviness or pressure felt in the perineal region (between the va**na and anus).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Incomplete emptying of or difficulty evacuating the bladder or bowels.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Difficulty initiating urination.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Pain is not typically a defining characteristic of prolapse.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A physiotherapist can help a patient eradicate, minimize, or manage pelvic organ prolapse. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and want to learn conservative options, we urge you to talk to a pelvic health physiotherapist who can assess you and provide more information and treatment methods.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
