Bladder Prolapse Treatment in Hyderabad: Expert Care at Lux Hospitals
Bladder prolapse, also known as cystocele, is a common condition that affects women, especially after childbirth, menopause, or pelvic surgery. It occurs when the supportive tissues and muscles of the pelvic floor weaken, causing the bladder to descend into the vaginal wall. This can lead to discomfort, urinary issues, and a feeling of pressure in the pelvic area. For advanced and effective bladder prolapse treatment in Hyderabad, trust the experienced urologists at Lux Hospitals. Our team offers both surgical and non-surgical options, ensuring personalized care and a quick recovery.
What is Bladder Prolapse?
Bladder prolapse, or cystocele, happens when the muscles and tissues that support the bladder weaken or stretch, causing the bladder to drop down and bulge into the vaginal wall. This condition can range from mild to severe, depending on the degree of prolapse.In simple terms, bladder prolapse is like a weakened hammock that can no longer support the bladder properly, leading to discomfort and urinary issues. Women who have experienced childbirth, aging, or heavy lifting are at a higher risk of developing this condition.
Causes of Bladder Prolapse
The primary causes of bladder prolapse include:
- Childbirth: Vaginal delivery can weaken the pelvic floor muscles and cause damage to the supportive tissues.
- Menopause: Decreased estrogen levels can lead to the thinning and weakening of pelvic tissues.
- Aging: Natural aging causes a loss of muscle tone and strength in the pelvic floor.
- Chronic Constipation: Straining during bowel movements can put pressure on the pelvic muscles.
- Obesity: Excess body weight increases pressure on the pelvic floor.
- Heavy Lifting: Frequent or improper lifting of heavy objects can strain the pelvic floor muscles.
- Pelvic Surgery: Previous surgeries, such as a hysterectomy, can weaken the pelvic support structures.
Understanding the causes of bladder prolapse helps in preventing and managing the condition effectively.
Symptoms of Bladder Prolapse
The symptoms of bladder prolapse can vary based on the severity of the condition. Common bladder prolapse symptoms include:
- A feeling of fullness or pressure in the pelvic area
- Difficulty emptying the bladder completely
- Urinary incontinence (leaking urine)
- Increased frequency of urination
- Pain or discomfort during intercourse
- Vaginal bulging or the sensation of tissue coming out of the vagina
If you experience any of these symptoms, seeking medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment is essential.
Diagnosis of Bladder Prolapse
At Lux Hospitals, our experienced urologists use advanced diagnostic methods to assess the severity of bladder prolapse. The diagnosis typically includes:
- Physical Examination: A pelvic exam to check for bulging and tissue weakness.
- Urinary Function Tests: To evaluate bladder control and emptying issues.
- Imaging Tests: Ultrasound or MRI to get a detailed view of the pelvic structures.
- Bladder Stress Test: To identify leakage issues during physical stress like coughing or sneezing.
Accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the most effective bladder prolapse treatment plan.
Treatment Options for Bladder Prolapse
Non-surgical Bladder Prolapse Treatment
For mild to moderate cases, non-surgical bladder prolapse treatment is often recommended. At Lux Hospitals, we offer a range of non-invasive options:
Pelvic floor therapy:Â Includes guided exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles. This helps improve bladder support and reduce symptoms. Kegel exercises, biofeedback, and electrical stimulation are commonly used techniques.
Pessary Insertion: A vaginal pessary is a removable device inserted into the vagina to support the bladder and prevent it from descending. It’s a safe and effective option for women who are not suitable candidates for surgery.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): For postmenopausal women, estrogen therapy helps improve the strength and elasticity of vaginal tissues, reducing the severity of prolapse symptoms.
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Avoiding heavy lifting
- Treating chronic constipation with a high-fiber diet
- Performing regular pelvic floor exercises
Non-surgical treatments are ideal for managing mild cases and preventing further progression of bladder prolapse.
Surgery Options for Bladder Prolapse
For severe cases, bladder prolapse surgery may be necessary to restore the bladder’s position and improve pelvic floor function. At Lux Hospitals, we offer advanced surgical options:
 Anterior Vaginal Repair: This procedure involves tightening and repairing the weakened vaginal wall and pelvic floor muscles. It’s a minimally invasive procedure with a high success rate.
Sacrocolpopexy: In this procedure, a synthetic mesh is used to support the bladder and restore it to its normal position. It provides long-lasting results and is performed using a laparoscopic approach.
 Colporrhaphy: Colporrhaphy is a surgical procedure that repairs and tightens the vaginal wall to provide better support for the bladder.
Mesh Implants: For severe prolapse, mesh implants may be used to reinforce the weakened pelvic tissues and provide additional support.
Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery: Our expert surgeons use laparoscopic techniques for reduced pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring. Surgical treatments are highly effective in treating severe bladder prolapse and improving urinary function.
