Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a common condition affecting women globally. This occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and tissues weaken due to various bodily stresses, causing organs such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum to shift from their normal positions and descend into the vagina.

As this condition poses a risk of landing you in an embarrassing situation, managing pelvic organ prolapse with urinary incontinence can be tough.
