Prolapse Surgery

What is Prolapse Surgery?

Prolapse surgery is a surgical procedure performed to repair pelvic organ prolapse, a condition in which one or more pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, bulge into the vagina due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. Prolapse surgery aims to restore the normal position and function of the pelvic organs and alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, and bowel dysfunction.

How is Prolapse Surgery Performed?

Prolapse surgery can be performed using various surgical techniques, depending on the severity and type of prolapse, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences. Common surgical approaches for prolapse repair include:

• Vaginal approach: Surgery is performed through the vagina, with incisions made in the vaginal wall to access and repair the prolapsed organs.
• Abdominal approach: Surgery is performed through an abdominal incision, allowing direct access to the pelvic organs for repair.
• Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted approach: Minimally invasive techniques are used, with small incisions made in the abdomen and specialized instruments inserted to repair the prolapse.

Who is a Candidate for Prolapse Surgery?

Women experiencing symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, such as vaginal bulging, pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, or bowel dysfunction, may be candidates for prolapse surgery. A thorough evaluation by a gynecologist or urogynecologist is necessary to confirm the diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapse, assess the severity of the condition, and determine the most appropriate treatment options. Factors such as the type of prolapse, the patient's overall health, and personal preferences will also be considered in the decision-making process.

What is the Recovery Process Like After Prolapse Surgery?

The recovery process after prolapse surgery varies depending on the specific surgical technique used, the extent of the prolapse repair, and individual healing factors. In general, patients can expect to experience some discomfort, vaginal bleeding, or discharge in the days following surgery. Pain medication, antibiotics, and instructions for caring for the surgical site will be provided to promote healing and prevent complications. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks after prolapse surgery, although strenuous activity and heavy lifting may be restricted for some time.

What is the procedure after surgery?

Rest and Limit Activity: Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for the recommended period. 
Keep the Area Clean: Gently clean the surgical area with water and mild soap as directed by your surgeon. Pat the area dry with a clean towel, and avoid rubbing or scrubbing. 
Take Prescribed Medications: Take any prescribed pain medications, antibiotics, or other medications as instructed by your surgeon to manage pain and prevent infection. 
Avoid Sexual Activity: Refrain from sexual intercourse and other sexual activities until your surgeon advises it is safe to do so. This typically takes several weeks to a month or more, depending on individual healing. 
Wear Loose Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing, preferably cotton underwear, to minimize friction and promote airflow to the surgical area. 
Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Keep all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns or complications promptly. 
Avoid Tampons and Menstrual Cups: Refrain from using tampons and menstrual cups during your recovery period to prevent irritation and infection. 
Stay Hydrated and Eat Nutritious Foods: Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and nutrients to support healing and boost your immune system.
