Many females contend with pelvic floor difficulties, including urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse – when pelvic organs drop due to debilitated muscles and skin. One sign of pelvic organ prolapse is urinary incontinence.
Close to 40 percent of females over age 60 account for urinary incontinence. There are two categories: stress incontinence and urge incontinence. Stress incontinence ensues when you cough, sneeze or exert yourself and experience a leak. Urge incontinence is not connected to activity, but is an irrepressible and recurrent urge to urinate.
Mild uterine prolapse consequences in minimal descent of the uterus, ensuing in few signs. A female who practices mild uterine descent may not need any treatment at all. In contrast, moderate-to-severe descent will cause uneasiness and a lower quality of life. For example:

When the signs of uterine descent disturb an individual’s daily life, it is time to pursue help. Left untreated, these signs can cause difficulties.
