Pelvic organ prolapse refers to the weakening or damage of the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments and their inability to provide effective support, causing pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and rectum to sag from their original positions or even bulge into the vagina. This is a common condition that affects many women, especially those who have given birth or are going through menopause. This condition occurs when the pelvic organs (including the bladder, uterus, and rectum) descend into the vaginal canal, causing discomfort and pain. Symptoms of POP include pressure or heaviness in the pelvic area, difficulty urinating or defecating, and discomfort during sex.
There are many treatment options for POP, including lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, and surgical options such as slings or mesh surgery. Non-surgical options are also available, including laser treatments and magnetic chairs.
Laser treatment for POP is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to stimulate collagen production and promote the growth of new tissue, thereby strengthening the tissues that support the pelvic organs. The procedure usually takes about 15-30 minutes and does not require anesthesia. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after surgery without affecting their daily lives at all.
The non-surgical options listed above offer patients less invasive treatment alternatives to surgery.
