Warning Signs Of A Prolapsed Bladder

A prolapsed bladder is a common problem that can cause discomfort and a variety of symptoms that impact daily activities. Bladder prolapse generally occurs in women and is often associated with pregnancy and birth, when the increasing weight of the fetus and birth of the child cause severe stress on pelvic organs. A prolapsed bladder can also occur as a result of menopause, when decreasing levels of estrogen affect muscle tone. Frequent straining, such as from lifting objects, severe coughing or chronic constipation can also cause a prolapsed bladder.
