Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)

Definition

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a medical condition where one or more pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum, descend from their normal position and bulge into the vaginal wall. This can occur due to weakened or stretched pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, often resulting from childbirth, aging, or other factors.
