Pelvic prolapse is usually accompanied by some degree of vaginal vault prolapse. Vaginal vault prolapse occurs when the upper part of the vagina loses its shape and sags into the vaginal canal or outside the vagina. Pelvic prolapse may also involve sagging or slipping of other pelvic organs, including the bladder, the urethra which is the tube next to the vagina that allows urine to leave your body, and rectum.

Signs & Symptoms

• Sensation of sitting on a small ball
• Heaviness or pulling in the pelvis
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Pain during intercourse
• Protrusion of tissue from the opening of the vagina
• Repeated bladder infections
• Vaginal bleeding or an unusual or excessive discharge
• Constipation
• Frequent urination or an urgent need to empty your bladder

Treatment

Most women seek treatment by the time the uterus drops to the opening of the vagina. Losing weight, stopping smoking and getting proper treatment for contributing medical problems, such as lung disease, may slow the progression of pelvic prolapse.

If you have very mild pelvic prolapse – without any symptoms – or very mild symptoms, treatment is usually unnecessary. However, keep in mind that without treatment, you may continue to lose uterine support, which could cause more severe symptoms.

Maternity Care ratings are based on the analysis of four factors:

• Maternal complication rate among women undergoing single live-born vaginal or C-section deliveries
• Maternal complication rate among women undergoing “patient-choice” or non-clinically indicated C-section
• Newborn volume adjusted for low birth weight
• Newborn mortality rate stratified into eight birth weight categories

Join us in congratulations Dr. Eads on this honor.

Since 1978, Dr. Eads has performed over 3000 laparoscopic surgeries, is trained in da Vinci robot surgery, & named in the Top OB/GYN by the Consumers Research Council of America.

Since Eads has done so many procedures, he said it was easier for him to learn on the machine and he was not intimidated. He has brought in surgeons to train on the machine and traveled out of state to train surgeons. Eads estimates he has taught 150 surgeons and said he “can teach newer surgeons first.”
