The heaviness nobody warns you about.
Pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic floor weakness are far more common than the silence around them suggests. It can start after birth, or build slowly over years, and it is very easy to adapt around without ever naming it.
What women often describe:
A dragging or heavy feeling low down, worse by the end of the day
Leaking when you laugh, cough, sneeze or lift
A bulge or a sense of something coming down
Discomfort or reduced sensation during s*x
Needing the loo urgently, or not feeling fully empty
None of this is something you have to accept as the cost of having children. It is also not always surgical. A consultation is where you find out what is going on and what genuinely applies to you.
Options a surgeon may talk through:
Assessment to understand the type and degree of prolapse
Physiotherapy and conservative routes, where those are the right starting point
Pelvic floor repair, where support needs restoring
Wider gynaecological options, if other symptoms are involved
