Types of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
1. Cystocele (Bladder Prolapse)
✔ The bladder pushes into the vaginal wall.
✔ Can result in urinary leakage, frequent infections, and incomplete emptying.
2. Rectocele (Rectal Prolapse)
✔ The rectum bulges toward the vaginal wall.
✔ May cause difficulty in passing stools and a feeling of pelvic fullness.
3. Uterine Prolapse
✔ The uterus drops into the vaginal canal due to weakened support ligaments.
✔ Often occurs after multiple vaginal deliveries or during menopause.
4. Vaginal Vault Prolapse
✔ Happens after hysterectomy when the top of the vagina sags.
5. Enterocele (Small Bowel Prolapse)
✔ The small intestine descends into the vaginal area, causing pressure and discomfort.
