What is Female Genital Prolapse?
Female genital prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and supporting ligaments become stretched and weakened, resulting in inadequate support for the pelvic organs. This causes organs such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum to shift from their normal positions and push into the vaginal canal, sometimes protruding outside the vaginal opening. There are several types of prolapse including cystocele (bladder bulging into the vagina), enterocele (small intestine pushing into the vagina), rectocele (rectum bulging into the vagina), urethrocele (urethra bulging into the vagina), uterine prolapse (descent of the uterus into the vagina), and vaginal vault prolapse (prolapse of the top of the vagina, usually after hysterectomy).
Causes and Risk Factors
Prolapse typically develops due to weakening of the pelvic muscles and tissues. This weakening often results from the strain of childbirth, especially with difficult deliveries or multiple births, where muscles and ligaments are stretched or damaged. Additionally, menopause plays a significant role because the body’s production of estrogen decreases, which leads to further weakening of vaginal and pelvic muscles. As a result, prolapse most commonly occurs in women during or after menopause. Other factors such as chronic coughing, obesity, heavy lifting, or constipation may also contribute to the condition by increasing pressure on the pelvic floor.
