Pelvic reconstructive surgery
Pelvic reconstructive surgery includes surgical options for problems affecting organ support and function. Goals and methods are discussed alongside prolapse location, symptoms, previous procedures and personal priorities. Not every prolapse requires surgery.

Explore different types of prolapse affecting the uterus, bladder and vaginal support. Non-surgical options, surgical assessment and follow-up help you prepare for consultation.
The goal extends beyond anatomical appearance
Reconstructive planning considers pressure, bladder and bowel function, intimacy and daily movement. Uterine preservation, native tissue repair and suspension procedures are different options. A proposal involving permanent material requires discussion of longer-term follow-up and possible further intervention.
Make your plan clear.
- Describe how pressure or a bulge changes through the day.
- Ask how observation, support devices and surgery differ for you.
- Discuss an individual plan for daily activities and follow-up.
Follow-up, care and return to everyday activities depend on assessment and the approach chosen. Before leaving, clarify the next step and how to contact the clinic.
