Pelvic floor problems manifest in various ways, including:

Prolapse symptoms
In cases of prolapse, organs such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum can descend.These symptoms are common in women after childbirth or after the age of 45. Different types of prolapse have specific symptoms and treatments.
Treatments for prolapse symptoms
- Therapies: Pelvic physiotherapy, pelvic floor training, and muscle training of the abdomen, back, and legs can reduce the symptoms.
- Hormonal treatments: Hormone creams or tablets may help strengthen the muscles and connective tissue.
- Pessary: A pessary can be used to support the prolapse.
- Surgical interventions: Depending on the severity of the prolapse, surgery may be performed, ranging from abdominal surgery to laparoscopic or vaginal surgery.
