Pelvic Floor Hernia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A pelvic floor hernia occurs when the tissues and muscles that support the pelvic organs weaken and allow them to descend from their usual position. It can be related to pregnancies, childbirth, or repeated straining.
Common symptoms: a sensation of heaviness or a bulge in the pelvic area, discomfort that increases when standing for a long time and, at times, changes when urinating or having bowel movements.
When to see a doctor? When persistent pressure, a bulge, or discomfort that affects your routine appears.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist assesses the pelvic floor and provides guidance on the relevant tests and options; the general practitioner can guide the first visit. Discussing these symptoms with a professional will help you understand what causes them and how to address them.
