Bladder prolapse is one of the common pelvic floor conditions in women. It occurs when the bladder descends toward the vaginal canal and may significantly affect daily life. In Ankara, OP. DR. Esra Demir Yüzer offers modern and reliable treatment methods for this condition.
What Is Bladder Prolapse?
Bladder prolapse occurs when the bladder shifts toward the vaginal wall due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. In medical terminology, this condition is known as cystocele.
Pelvic muscle weakening may occur due to factors such as childbirth, aging, menopause, excess weight, or heavy lifting.
When Is Surgery Necessary?
In mild cases, pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle modifications may be recommended. However, if symptoms significantly affect daily life, bladder prolapse surgery may be necessary.
Surgery may be considered when symptoms such as the following occur:
-
Severe urinary incontinence
-
Noticeable vaginal bulging
-
Frequent urination
-
Persistent pelvic pressure
These symptoms may significantly reduce quality of life.
Preoperative Process
Before bladder prolapse surgery, the patient’s overall health condition is carefully evaluated. A gynecological examination is performed to determine the degree of prolapse. Additional tests may be requested if necessary.
Before surgery, patients may be advised to:
-
Quit smoking
-
Maintain a healthy diet
-
Complete required medical tests
These preparations help ensure that the procedure is performed safely.
Surgical Procedure
Bladder prolapse surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about one to two hours. During the procedure, the bladder is repositioned and pelvic tissues are strengthened.
In Ankara, OP. DR. Esra Demir Yüzer performs this surgery using modern surgical techniques to support faster recovery.
Postoperative Recovery
Patients are usually discharged within a few days after surgery. Following the doctor’s recommendations during the recovery period is essential.
After surgery, patients should:
-
Avoid heavy lifting
-
Avoid strenuous exercise
-
Attend follow-up appointments
Regular monitoring is important for the success of the treatment.
