A woman's pelvic floor muscles can stretch and weaken following pregnancy and childbirth and with the aging process. When these muscles weaken, the bladder, uterus, or rectum's position may lower, causing pressure on the vagina. Depending on the type and severity of pelvic support problem you have, your physician may recommend surgical correction. Pelvic support surgery is typically done when a woman is done with childbearing, as the uterus may have to be removed in order to correct the problem. These procedures can be done through the vagina or through an abdominal incision. There are different methods of pelvic floor repair; your physician will discuss the options that are available to you depending on your individual needs.
