Are Women with Pelvic Organ Prolapse at Risk for Other Hernias Elsewhere in Their Bodies?

Written by Matthew Karlovs... on October 22, 2009 - 7:30am

This is such as interesting question, because when I see patients who present with a cystocele, vaginal vault prolapse or rectocele, I will often help describe it as a “bladder hernia” or “rectum hernia”. In essence it is, since a hernia is a defect in muscle or fascia (connective tissue) that when sufficiently weak will allow another organ usually to push out or through. We think classically of a male groin hernia, after lifting a heavy box. The fascia in the groin will tear or become weak, allowing the small intestine to push through creating pain and a bulge.

Written by Dr. Manish Patel on May 13, 2009 - 3:50pm

Pregnancy, childbirth and strenuous exercise all place tremendous strain on a woman’s body. Over the years, these stresses can weaken the natural support structure of the pelvis, causing the pelvic organs to shift from their natural position.

“If you don’t you use it, you lose it” principle also applies to the muscles in the pelvis. Age, menopause and childbirth can cause weakness and looseness to the pelvic floor muscles known as the levator ani.

Chronic Pelvic Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment

Written by National Women ... on March 10, 2009 - 12:59pm

Trying to describe pain to someone is never easy. It's kind of like trying to describe the sound of a flute to someone who was born deaf. This can be particularly difficult when describing pelvic pain because it can be so hard to even know exactly where the pain is coming from.

Is there any information on Pudendal Neuralgia including medications that work?

ASKED by lostindiapers on October 4, 2008 - 6:50pm

I have Pudendal Neuralgia. I am 25 yrs old and a full time student and mother of two. I have been going through a lot of pointless medications that are getting me nowhere and no relief. I am trying to find out as much information as possible and trying to find a medication or a group of medications that will actually work.
