Fallen Bladder Treatment in Chennai

A fallen bladder, also known as bladder prolapse, occurs when the muscles and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum become weakened, causing the bladder to descend or bulge into the vaginal canal. While this condition can affect women at any age, it is more commonly seen in postmenopausal women, those who have experienced multiple vaginal deliveries, or women who have undergone pelvic surgeries.
At Dr. Lavanyaa’s clinic, expert care is provided for bladder prolapse and other pelvic floor disorders through a personalized and patient-focused approach. With specialized experience in managing pelvic organ prolapse, Dr. Lavanyaa offers advanced evaluation and tailored treatment plans designed to restore comfort and improve quality of life. The clinic is committed to creating a supportive, reassuring environment where women receive compassionate care for their gynecological health needs in Chennai.

Causes of a Fallen Bladder

The main cause of a fallen bladder is weakened pelvic muscles and tissues, which can be caused by:
  • Pregnancy and childbirth: The pressure of a growing baby during pregnancy and the stress of delivery can weaken the pelvic muscles and tissues.
  • Menopause: The decrease in oestrogen production during menopause can weaken the pelvic muscles and tissues.
  • Ageing: As women age, their pelvic muscles and tissues naturally weaken, which can lead to a fallen bladder.
  • Pelvic surgery: Certain surgeries, such as a hysterectomy, can weaken the pelvic muscles and tissues and increase the risk of a fallen bladder.

Treatment Options

Mild bladder prolapse may not need medical treatment, but more advanced cases may require active management or surgical correction. Several treatment options are available depending on the severity of the condition.

Pelvic floor exercises

Also known as Kegel exercises, these exercises can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and reduce symptoms of a fallen bladder.

Pessary

A pessary is a small device inserted into the vagina to support the bladder, uterus, or rectum.

Surgery

Surgery may be necessary in more severe cases of a fallen bladder. The surgery may involve repairing the weakened tissues or using mesh to support the organs.
