Prolapse

What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?   
In many women, the tissue of the pelvic floor, which consists of muscles and connective tissue, deteriorates. The tissues lose strength and elasticity and as a result, cannot adequately hold up the organs in your pelvis. The organs typically affected are the:

• Uterus
• Bladder
• Small bowel
• Rectum

You might develop the weakness in tissue because of the normal aging process, a sedentary lifestyle, or childbirth.
