What is Sagging in Genital Organs?

In women, there are ligaments that fix the organs in the genital area. These ligaments have limited mobility and allow the organs to stay in their proper position. Many or difficult births and factors such as old age cause weakening of these bonds.

As a result, the organs fixed by the ligaments begin to hang out of the vagina. This condition is called genital organ prolapse and is divided into types within itself. In genital organ prolapse, organs such as the bladder, the last part of the large intestine and the uterus are displaced within the vagina.

In some patients, uterine prolapse is extremely prominent and can be palpated at the mouth of the vagina. This type of sagging is called "Desensus Uteri".

In some cases, the uterus hangs out completely, which is called "Total Prolapse".

If the sagging organ is the bladder, the disease is called “Cystocele”, in this case the bladder near the anterior wall of the vagina becomes bulging and moves outward.

Movements such as coughing and sneezing trigger the severity of sagging.

Large intestine prolapses are called “Rectocele”, this occurs with the rectum bulging on the back wall of the vagina.

In summary, the organs normally located in the pelvis shift towards the uterus and vagina due to the weakening of the muscles. In advanced cases, sagging is very clear and evident.

This problem should be treated for patient comfort and general health.

Who Sees Sagging in Genital Organs?

Genital organ prolapse, which is a problem that concerns women, usually develops in women who have had a difficult birth history or who have given multiple births. In addition, weakening of the ligaments in the genital area due to aging can also cause this type of disease.

Pain in the lower abdomen when standing, coughing or sneezing
Pain during straining
Urinary incontinence, incontinence
The appearance of the structure that curves outward from the vagina

How to Treat Sagging of Genital Organs?

A specialist doctor should be consulted for the treatment of genital organ sagging. Thus, the disease can be treated before it goes further. First of all, it is important to establish the correct diagnosis. For this, various examinations and tests are carried out. The patient is then taken into surgery.

Different methods have been defined as the surgical technique. So far, explicit and implicit methods have been defined. Open methods are usually performed by entering through an incision in the abdomen.

In the technique defined in recent years (Extraperitoneal sacrocolpopeski TURC method), the sagging uterus is suspended with a patch without touching the abdominal organs. Thus, patients can be discharged the next day.

In the laparoscopic or robotic procedure, the arms placed in the abdomen and the sagging uterus are suspended in the same way.

The sagging of the urinary bladder and breech end can be corrected by vaginal surgery. Mid-urethral sling surgery can also be performed for patients with stress urinary incontinence during the same procedure.

Genital organ prolapse surgery is a successful operation. For this, it is necessary to consult a specialist doctor as soon as the symptoms of the problem begin to be observed. This makes the treatment process quite easy and comfortable. In addition, various methods can be applied to avoid possible problems.

Gaining habits that increase the standard of living, such as losing excess weight, not lifting heavy, not smoking and eating healthy, minimizes the risk of disease.
