What is pelvic organ prolapse?
Pelvic organ prolapse is when the bladder, uterus, or bowel descends because the pelvic floor support has weakened, often after childbirth or with age. For mild to moderate prolapse, pelvic floor physiotherapy is a recommended first-line treatment that eases symptoms and improves support. More severe prolapse may also need a medical or surgical opinion. Any intimate or internal assessment happens only with your informed consent and privacy, and you can stop at any time. Internal assessment is not mandatory to book or begin care, and your physiotherapist should explain all options and only proceed with your consent.

When to seek urgent care
Physiotherapy is safe for most people, but see a doctor urgently if you have any of these:
- A sudden inability to pass urine, which needs urgent care
- Any vaginal bleeding after menopause, or bleeding from the bulge, which needs a doctor
- A bulge that becomes painful, raw, or cannot be pushed back in
- Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, which need a doctor
Do not book physiotherapy for emergency symptoms. Seek urgent medical care first, then use physiotherapy when it is safe and appropriate.
