๐งต Vaginal Relaxation – New York
Thirty million American women suffer from symptoms of vaginal relaxation and stress urinary incontinence. These issues often include difficulty controlling urine while walking or coughing and can also affect bowel habits. Frequently caused by childbirth, aging, sagging tissues, or a combination of all three, these conditions fall under the umbrella of pelvic relaxation.

๐บ Understanding Pelvic Relaxation
Many women suffer unnecessarily from pelvic relaxation. With proper diagnosis and treatment, most can return to a life free of discomfort. These conditions are often covered by insurance and involve relaxation of one or more pelvic organs:
- Vagina
- Uterus
- Bladder
- Rectum
These organs are supported by muscles, fascia (tissue sheets), and ligaments. When these supports weaken, the organs may sag or even protrude beyond the vaginal opening—known as pelvic support defects.๏ปฟ
๐ถ Common Causes
- Childbirth-related tissue and muscle separation
- Aging and progressive weakening of support structures
- Inherited tissue weakness
- Chronic coughing or abdominal strain
- Obesity
๐ฉบ Common Symptoms
- Feeling of heaviness or fullness in the pelvic area
- Involuntary urine leakage during physical activity (laughing, sneezing, etc.)
- Visible or palpable vaginal bulge (in advanced cases)
๐ Types of Pelvic Support Defects
- Cystocele: Bladder drop, difficulty emptying bladder, frequent infections, leakage
- Perineocele: Herniation between the vagina and rectum or anal sphincter
- Urethrocele: Often with cystocele; urine loss with sudden pressure (coughing, laughing)
- Rectocele: Rectum bulging into the vagina, making bowel movements harder
- Enterocele: Small intestines bulge into the back vaginal wall
- Uterine Prolapse: Uterus descends from its normal position, causing fullness and pressure
๐งช Diagnosis Tools
- Thorough physical and history exam
- Q-tip test
- Urodynamic studies (15–20 minute bladder/urethra test)
- Urethrocystoscopy (scope of bladder and urethra)
- X-rays of urinary system
๐ ๏ธ Treatment Options
- For long-term relief,
surgical correction of pelvic support defects is often the definitive solution.
