Intro
You may have noticed a feeling of heaviness, pressure, or something not feeling quite right in your body.
For some women, it can feel like a dragging sensation or a bulge in the vaginal area, which can be uncomfortable and difficult to ignore.
These changes can develop gradually and may start to affect how you move, exercise, or go about your day.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
Pelvic organ prolapse is more common than many people realise, particularly after childbirth or as part of the natural ageing process.
Prolapse repair is a treatment designed to restore support to the pelvic area, helping to manage these symptoms and improve day-to-day comfort.
This is about helping you feel more comfortable in your body again, with support when you need it and clear guidance to help you decide what's right for you.
What It Is?
Prolapse repair is a surgical procedure used to correct pelvic organ prolapse.
This happens when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs become weakened, allowing one or more organs to shift from their usual position.
This can involve the bladder, uterus, or bowel, depending on the type of prolapse.
The aim of the procedure is to restore support and improve function, helping reduce symptoms such as pressure or discomfort.
The exact approach will depend on your symptoms and the type of prolapse, and your specialist will guide you through the most suitable option.

Prolapse is often linked to weakened pelvic floor support, which can happen after childbirth, through ageing, or due to ongoing strain on the body.
You may also notice changes in bladder or bowel function, which can add to the discomfort.
