Vaginal Prolapse: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment<\/h1>\n

What Is a Vaginal Prolapse?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\t

Connective tissue, muscles and ligaments hold the organs of the pelvic floor in place. With age or due to childbirth, connective tissue weaknesses can occur in women. In some cases, this weakness results in organ prolapse. <\/p>\n

Approximately 10% of women who have given birth may experience a condition known as vaginal prolapse<\/strong>. The anterior vaginal wall or the posterior vaginal wall can drop and, in particularly severe cases, bulge out of the vaginal entrance. It is also referred to as vaginal prolapse if the patient's uterus has already been removed and the end of the vagina has been stitched up. Vaginal prolapse can be treated conservatively with various physical exercises to strengthen the connective tissue and pelvic muscles. In severe cases and depending on the type of prolapse (e.g. prolapse of the anterior or posterior vaginal wall), various surgical procedures may also be used for treatment.<\/p>\n

Our urogynaecology specialists at the Hirslanden Continence Centre in Switzerland provide individual advice to patients and discuss possible treatment methods with them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
