Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects up to half of women who’ve given birth, especially around menopause, yet it remains widely misunderstood. It occurs when weakened pelvic support structures allow organs like the bladder, uterus, or rectum to descend. Symptoms vary, ranging from pelvic pressure to bladder issues—or no symptoms at all. While POP can be progressive, many women manage it successfully without surgery through pelvic health physiotherapy. A tailored approach focusing on muscle strengthening, lifestyle adjustments, and education can greatly improve quality of life. Concerned? Consulting a pelvic health physiotherapist is a smart, proactive first step.

Osteoporosis affects one in three women over 50, but its impact on pelvic floor health is often overlooked. Since pelvic floor muscles attach directly to bones like the pubic bone and sacrum, decreased bone density can compromise their function. Spinal fractures and postural changes may further strain this area, increasing the risk of dysfunction and falls.

Fortunately, strategies that support bone health — like strength training, adequate calcium and vitamin D, and balance work — also benefit the pelvic floor. With the right guidance, especially from a pelvic floor physiotherapist, women can build a program that supports both bone strength and pelvic health as they age.
