Comprehensive Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery in Ventura County
The purpose of the pelvic floor's muscles, ligaments, nerves, and connective tissue is to hold the organs within the pelvic region (bladder, vagina, uterus, small bowel, and rectum) in place. However, as pelvic muscles weaken, it can result in the organs dropping from their normal position, also known as prolapse.
Pelvic reconstructive surgery, also referred to as pelvic floor reconstruction, is designed to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP). While POP is not considered a life-threatening condition, except in rare cases, it can cause extreme discomfort or pain, sexual dysfunction, and urinary incontinence, which can hinder a woman's quality of life and comfortability.
Pelvic floor reconstruction treats POP and restores the pelvic floor anatomy to normal, helping a woman achieve a better quality of life.
Understanding Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Its Causes
One of the most common causes of pelvic organ prolapse is childbirth. One in two mothers suffers some form of pelvic organ prolapse in childbirth.
These conditions include:
- Small bowel prolapse/enterocele
- Vaginal prolapse
- Anterior vaginal prolapse / cystocele
- Posterior vaginal prolapse / rectocele
Other common causes of pelvic organ prolapse include pressure on the abdomen, such as obesity, a chronic long-term cough, constipation, pelvic organ cancers, and a hysterectomy.
Expert Diagnosis and Tailored Treatments in Oxnard
Explaining your symptoms thoroughly to your doctor will help him, or she identify the problem and design an effective treatment solution. While some restorative measures are non-invasive - such as specific exercises and diet/lifestyle changes - reconstructive surgery may be required to restore pelvic functions. There are many different types of procedures, depending on the particular condition.
Pelvic floor reconstruction procedures include:
- Abdominal sacral coloplexy, used in treating vaginal prolapse
- Perineorrhaphy, used in treating posterior vaginal prolapse
- Cystocele repair, used in treating anterior vaginal prolapse
- Uterosacral or sacropinous ligament fixation, used in treating vaginal prolapse
- Sacral colpopexy, used in treating small bowel prolapse
Guidance for Pelvic Reconstruction Surgery Recovery
Pelvic floor reconstruction surgery recovery involves several key aspects. Patients can expect initial pain and discomfort, managed with prescribed medications. Follow postoperative care instructions carefully, including restrictions on activities and a gradual return to normalcy. Pelvic floor physical therapy may be recommended for optimal healing and muscle strengthening. Regular follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring progress. Patience is vital, as recovery duration varies. It's crucial to adhere to your surgeon's advice on resuming activities, diet, and any necessary lifestyle adjustments for a successful recovery.
