Pelvic Organ Prolapse | Weill Cornell Medicine: Department of Urology New York
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when the organs inside the pelvis, such as the
uterus, urethra, or bladder, protrude toward or through the opening of the
vagina. POP can be thought of as a "female hernia."
This condition is caused by weakness of the pelvic √oor. The pelvic √oor
consists of the muscles, nerves, and connective tissue that surround the
uterus, vagina, bladder, and rectum, providing support and helping these
organs function properly. When these support structures become
weakened, the pelvic organs can begin to fall out of their normal position.
The movement of these organs, or prolapse, may make it more di≈cult for
these organs to function normally.
Other names for pelvic organ prolapse include cystocele or "fallen bladder"
(bladder prolapse), rectocele (rectal prolapse), and "dropped uterus"

(uterine prolapse).
