Postpartum Prolapse — What You Need to Know

Pelvic organ prolapse happens when the muscles and tissues that support your bladder, uterus, or rectum become weakened or stretched during pregnancy and birth. This can lead to sensations of heaviness, bulging, or pressure in the vaginal area. Some women even notice changes when exercising or standing for long periods.

Why It Matters

Ignoring prolapse doesn’t make it go away. Over time, it can worsen and affect your ability to exercise, stay active, or feel confident in intimacy.
