Pelvic Floor Repair — Restoring Strength and Support

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support the bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum. When these structures become weakened or damaged — often due to childbirth, aging, surgery, or hormonal changes — it can lead to pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and discomfort during daily activities or intimacy.

Pelvic Floor Repair is a specialized surgical or minimally invasive procedure designed to restore the strength, function, and support of these pelvic structures. At Pragati Women’s Wellness & Uro-Gyne Clinic, we offer advanced and personalized pelvic floor repair treatments to help women regain control, comfort, and confidence.

What Causes Pelvic Floor Weakness?

Pelvic floor weakening or prolapse occurs when the supporting muscles and ligaments lose their tone and elasticity. Common causes include:

  • Vaginal childbirth or multiple deliveries
  • Menopause and reduced estrogen levels
  • Obesity and chronic straining (constipation or coughing)
  • Pelvic surgery such as hysterectomy
  • Genetic predisposition or connective tissue weakness

Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

  • Feeling of heaviness or pressure in the vagina
  • Bulging sensation or visible tissue coming out of the vaginal opening
  • Difficulty controlling urine or stool (incontinence)
  • Discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse
  • Lower back or pelvic pain

Types of Pelvic Floor Repair Procedures

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the prolapse or dysfunction. At our clinic, we offer both non-surgical and surgical solutions tailored to your needs:

1. Non-Surgical Pelvic Floor Therapy

In mild cases, pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel exercises), biofeedback, and laser vaginal tightening therapy can help strengthen and tone the pelvic muscles. These are effective and non-invasive approaches for early-stage prolapse and mild incontinence.

2. Anterior and Posterior Vaginal Wall Repair

These surgical procedures correct the weakened vaginal walls that support the bladder (anterior repair) and rectum (posterior repair). The tissues are tightened and reinforced to restore normal anatomy and reduce bulging sensations.

3. Vaginal Vault or Uterine Prolapse Repair

In cases of uterine descent or vaginal vault prolapse (after hysterectomy), the uterus or vaginal apex is lifted and secured using native tissues or mesh support. This restores internal structure and prevents recurrence.

4. Pelvic Floor Reconstruction with Mesh

For advanced cases, a synthetic or biological mesh may be used to reinforce weakened tissues and provide long-term support. Our surgeons use only FDA-approved, biocompatible materials for safety and durability.

Benefits of Pelvic Floor Repair

  • Improved bladder and bowel control
  • Elimination of vaginal bulge or pressure
  • Enhanced sexual function and comfort
  • Better posture and pelvic stability
  • Restored confidence and quality of life

Recovery and Aftercare

Most women recover well within a few weeks. Light activities can usually be resumed in 1–2 weeks, while strenuous exercise or sexual activity should be avoided for 4–6 weeks as advised by the doctor. Proper hygiene, pelvic rest, and follow-up visits ensure optimal healing.
