The Low-Down on Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a descent of the vaginal organs that creates a bulge or pressure into the vaginal opening. This occurs due to a weakening of the support structures that hold these organs in place such as the ligaments, health of the vaginal tissue and pelvic floor muscles. The most common types of prolapse are:
Bladder (Cystocele)/Urethra (Cystourethrocele), Rectum (Rectocele), Uterus (Uterine)
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome): East Meets West
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, has troubled the minds of health professionals for years. Sadly, there are no real clear answers because it’s a relatively new disorder. What’s even more puzzling is that it can present with a combination of symptoms or the complete absence of common symptoms altogether. As practitioners of Chinese Medicine, we are constantly looking for patterns in the body. Your symptoms are signal fires guiding us to the root cause of your imbalance, and it’s our job to find that root imbalance to provide relief or reversal or symptoms. That is the real gift of eastern healing—a deeper knowing of yourself and the confidence to sit in the driver’s seat of your own wellness.
