Pros & Cons of Pelvic Prolapse Surgery

With one in five women being affected by pelvic organ prolapse, it is disappointing we aren’t talking about it more. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when organs like the bladder, uterus, or rectum fall out of place by shifting down. It can be quite a shocking experience and a quick fix is typically desired. Prolapsed uterus and prolapsed bladder are the most common forms. There are many surgical and non-surgical treatment options out there, so making a decision between the two can be a big challenge. A life-altering choice like prolapse surgery is not something to take lightly. While you might wish for an instant solution to this common condition, it is important for you to take the time to understand the pros and cons of pelvic organ prolapse surgery and make the right choice for YOU!
