6 SYMPTOMS OF BLADDER PROLAPSE
Bladder sagging, which is manifested by complaints such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and pain in the groin area, can be seen among women. Bladder prolapse, which occurs more often, especially in women who give birth normally, negatively affects social life and a person’s psychology. Turkey Medicals member and JCI Antalya hospital department, clinic Obstetrician-Gynecologist Associate Turkish Doctor gave information about bladder prolapse and its treatment method.
The urinary bladder can be herniated towards the birth canal, and sometimes outward. This condition, which is defined as sagging of the bladder, can be noticed by coughing, sneezing, or the hand of the bladder bag when the intra-abdominal pressure increases while carrying heavy things. The most important cause of bladder sagging is normal delivery. A large number and difficult births increase the risk of bladder prolapse.
Pay attention to the postmenopausal period
Bladder sagging most often occurs after menopause. A decrease in the support under the bladder due to a decrease in the hormone estrogen after menopause creates a risky condition in terms of sagging the bladder. The presence of connective tissue diseases in the family, racial predisposition, smoking, obesity, previous pelvic surgery, prolonged constipation can also trigger bladder prolapse.
Changes in toilet habits give away
Mild bladder sagging may not have any symptoms. In moderate and advanced bladder sagging, frequent urination, urinary incontinence during sexual intercourse, constant urge to urinate, difficulty urinating, recurrent urinary tract infection, and pain in the lower groin area can be experienced. If symptoms occur, you should consult an obstetrician-gynecologist who has experience in this regard.
Shaping treatment according to the type of bladder prolapse
Bladder prolapse treatment varies depending on the patient’s age, stage of prolapse, whether pregnancy is desired, and whether there is urinary incontinence with it. In general, surgical treatment of bladder prolapse is the main approach. Bladder prolapse occurs due to a rupture in the structure that supports the bladder from the bottom, called the pubeservical fascia, or a separation of the fascia from the place where it attaches to the side wall of the pelvis.
The treatment is being repaired by finding the current place of damage. The correction surgeries performed reduce the problems experienced in sexual intercourse, problems related to the expansion of the vagina, pressure caused by flaccidity, and groin pain complaints. Surgery for some types of bladder prolapse can also be performed laparoscopically. The surgeries last approximately between 25-45 minutes. If bladder sagging is accompanied by coughing, sneezing, and urinary incontinence, sagging and urinary then incontinence surgery can be performed together.

In order to increase the success of operations and not to repeat bladder prolapse, it is necessary not to lift heavily after surgery. In addition, maintaining weight control and avoiding foods that will cause constipation also increase the success of treatment in Turkey.
