Almost 24% of women experience some type of pelvic floor disorder. A “prolapse” is the slipping down or forward of an organ, usually because of weakened or stretched connective tissue. This slippage can cause pain during sex, incontinence, stretching sensations, an odd bulging sensation like sitting on a ball, or, in rare cases, a prolapsed organ may sink so parts are exposed outside of the body. Normally, this happens as a result of weakening muscles and ligaments that support a woman’s pelvic organs. Women most commonly develop this prolapse years after childbirth, after a hysterectomy, or after menopause.
