Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) include all or some of the following:
  • A feeling of pressure from pelvic organs pressing against vaginal walls.  This is the most common symptom.
  • Incontinence - the uncontrollable release of urine and/or frequently having the need to urinate.
  • A feeling of fullness in your lower abdominal region.
  •  Pain in your lower back or groin area.
  • Painful intercourse.  This can actually occur for both partners, especially if the mesh implant has started eroding.
  • Constipation. 
  • A feeling of something falling out of your vagina.
If you think you have a pelvic organ prolapse, it is critical that you visit your gynecologist or general physician as soon as possible.
