Is pelvic organ prolapse the same thing as a weak pelvic floor?

They are related concepts, but they are not interchangeable. Prolapse involves pelvic organs shifting downward as their support changes. It can cause symptoms such as vaginal pressure or a bulge and needs an appropriate examination. ACOG prolapse information.

A chair session cannot establish whether prolapse is present or explain its extent. Strengthening is not a substitute for understanding the structural problem.

MedFIT’s pelvic-floor chair should not be presented as a treatment that corrects every pelvic-support concern.

Next: Mention pressure, bulging or a known prolapse diagnosis before booking treatment so the appropriate evaluation can be discussed.
