PROLAPSE

Avoid surgery and feel better!

Prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs have fallen too low. This happens when there has been an over-stretching or weakening of the muscles, and ligaments of our pelvis. Prolapse is the most common type of pelvic floor dysfunction following childbirth. 1 in 2 childbearing women will present with a prolapse, most commonly in the post-partum period and during menopause due to the loss of muscle mass in the pelvic floor. Prolapse can affect the bladder, the cervix and the uterus, the rectum, or any combination of these.

Women with prolapsed can experience a variety of symptoms including:

  • A feeling of heaviness, pressure, or bulging from the vagina.

  • Bladder and bowel dysfunction

  • Painful sex

  • Low back pain

Willow Health Centre Physiotherapists are specially trained to diagnose your prolapse. We will show you how to use your pelvic floor muscles with all your core muscles to both anatomically improve your prolapse and relieve your symptoms. Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is considered by decades of research and international guidelines to be effective, first-line conservative management of prolapse before pessaries or surgeries are considered.

Our Physiotherapists are the most experienced Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists in Chatham-Kent, and can help you avoid surgeries and feel better!
