Understanding and treatment of Pelvic organ prol

Claudia Garofalo talked with Dr. Viccenco Sabela at the Institute for Women's Health to find out more about a topic that affects a lot of women, but doesn't get talked about very much: pelvic organ prolapse. We do want to let you know this can be a sensitive topic that may not be appropriate for small children. Pelvic organ prolapse is the descent and possible protrusion of the pelvic organs onto the vaginal walls that sometimes results in their protrusion through the vaginal opening. It results from the weakening, stretching and detachment of the muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor that hold those pelvic organs (the vagina, the uterus, the bladder, the urethra, the rectum) in place.
