Pelvic Organ Prolapse Treatment in Kolkata
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) happens when the muscles and connective tissues supporting the pelvic organs become weakened or stretched. As a result, organs like the bladder, uterus, or rectum may slip out of their usual positions and bulge into the vaginal canal. This shift can cause symptoms such as pelvic discomfort, urinary irregularities, and trouble with bowel function.
At Gynae Care Kolkata, Dr Sujata Datta, a leading gynaecologist in Kolkata, offers advanced treatment options to provide long-term relief and restore pelvic health.
Common Causes of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse can be caused by various factors that weaken the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues, including:
- Pregnancy and Childbirth: Vaginal delivery puts significant strain on the pelvic floor.
- Aging and Menopause: Decreased oestrogen levels can weaken pelvic tissues.
- Chronic Straining: Long-term constipation or heavy lifting increases pressure on the pelvic muscles.
- Obesity: Excess weight adds pressure to the pelvic organs.
- Previous Pelvic Surgery: Surgical procedures, such as a hysterectomy, may be followed by prolapse of the top of the vagina- vault.
- Genetic Factors: A family history of weak connective tissues can increase the risk.
