Understanding Pelvic Support Problems The pelvic organs are held in place by three types of support: 1. Layers of connecting tissue called fascia 2. Thickening of the fascia called ligaments 3. A group of muscles that lie on either side and around the openings of the urethra, vagina, and anus When tissues that support the urethra, bladder, uterus, cul-de-sac, and rectum become stretched, they allow the organ that they support to sag or bulge into the vagina. Based on the organ or organs involved, the main types of pelvic support problems are described as: Cystocele: Bulging of the bladder into the vagina Uterine Prolapse: Descent of the uterus from its normal position Enterocele: Sagging of the small intestine against the upper part of the vagina Rectocele: Protrusion of part of the rectum into the vagina Vaginal Vault Prolapse: Bulging of the top of the vagina into the vagina |
