Many risk factors for POP have been suggested, but the true cause is likely to be

multifactorial. Causes might include: - ✔✔*Constant downward gravity

because of erect human posture

*Atrophy of supporting tissues with aging and decline of estrogen levels


*Weakening of pelvic support related to childbirth trauma


*Reproductive surgery


*Family history of POP


*Young age at first birth

*Connective tissue disorders


*Infant birth weight of more than 4,500 g


*Pelvic radiation

,*Increased abdominal pressure secondary to:

-lifting of children or heavy objects


-straining due to chronic constipation


-respiratory problems or chronic coughing


-obesity




Treatment option for POP include - ✔✔*Kegel exercise


*Estrogen replacement therapy


*Dietary and lifestyle modifications

*Use of pessaries


*Colpexin Sphere


*Surgery




Kegel exercise - ✔✔*strengthen the pelvic floor muscles to support the

inner organs and prevent further prolapse

, *Accepted as first-time treatment for stress and urge urinary incontinence and

they are widely used for anal incontinence


*uterus itself does not play and role in the pathogenesis of uterine prolapse


*increase the muscle volume, which will result in a stronger muscular contraction


*might limit the progression of mild prolapse and alleviate mild prolapse

symptoms, including low back pain and pelvic pressure




Hormone Replacement Therapy - ✔✔(orally, transdermally, or vaginally) may

improve the tone and vascularity of the supporting tissue in perimenopausal and

menopausal women by increasing blood perfusion and the elasticity of the

vaginal wall
