Anatomy of Pelvic
Definition
• Also known as prolapsed bladder• Occurs when the supportive tissue between a
woman's bladder and vaginal wall weakens and stretches, allowing the bladder to bulge into the vagina
• May associated with problems emptying the bladder, urinary tract infections or incontinence
Causes
• Stress on the supportive "hammock" during childbirth
• Frequent heavy lifting• Chronic coughing (or other lung problems)• Constipation (frequently straining to pass stool) • Obesity,• menopause (estrogen levels start to drop) • previous pelvic surgery.
Symptoms
• Frequent urination or urge to urinate• Stress incontinence • Not feeling bladder relief immediately after urinating; • Frequent UTI • Discomfort or pain in the vagina, pelvis, lower
abdomen, groin or lower back• Heaviness or pressure in the vaginal area; • Painful intercourse• Tissue protruding from the vagina that may be tender
and/or bleeding.
Grade of cystocele
• Divided into 4 grade
Investigation
• Pelvic examination• Voiding cystourethrogram• Urodynamics • Cystoscopy• Fluoroscopy.
Treatment
• Kegel exercises• Estrogen replacement therapy• Pessary (vaginal support device)• Surgery
Complication
• If case is left untreated, over time the condition may get worse.
• Can cause to urinary retention (inability to urinate) which may lead to kidney damage or infection

prolapseDr. mx : conservative mx and refer to
physio
C/c : Pt. c/o having incomplete urine and feel there’s mass protrusion at vaginal opening when BO. Problem occur many times in a week but no pain
Current Hx : Pt. start having this problem since many years ago (not remember since when) but just recently came to see doctor at Klinik Kesihatan batu 14 and referred to physiotherapy
General Health : Good PMHx : Pt. has DM and under medication ( since 5

Bowel fx : NormalStress Incontinence : Present during coughing
wt. minimal leakageIncontinence frequency : Everyday wt.

Objective Assessment
Observation : • Pt. is moderate size of Chinese lady. She
presented with mild flabbiness of abdominal muscle.
Palpation : • Unable to palpate d/t patient resist Special test : • Provocation test (-ve)
Analysis
• Incontinence and bladder prolapse d/t pelvic floor muscle weakness
• Pelvic floor muscle d/t weakness of slow twitch fiber (STF) and fast twitch fiber (FTF)
Goals
Short term Goal : • To strengthen the pelvic floor muscle• To minimal the amount of protrusion
Long term goal : To regain pelvic floor muscle control during
stress activity
Plan of Treatment
• Do kegel’s exercise
• Biofeedback’s training
• Kegel’s exercise on the gym ball
• HEP
Intervention
Kegel’s exercisePosition : Supine lying wt both knees flexInstruction : Tighten your pelvic floor muscles, hold the contraction for five seconds, and then relax for five seconds.Repetition : Do for 10 times
Biofeedback’s trainingPosition : Supine lying with both knees flexInstruction : Put Ten’s pad to the pt. 2 at between ASIS. 2 at the pt.s’ gluteal fold.Cross the tens’ wire. Do the kegel’s ex. along with ten’s contraction.Duration : 15 minutes Precaution : Keep breathing and do not use help from abdominal muscle
Kegel’s exercise on the gym ballPosition : Pt. sit on the gym ball with the leg slightly apartInstruction : During sitting, bring the gym ball to forward, backward and side. While bring the ball, do the kegel’s exercise.Duration : do for 10 minutes
Home exercise programmeAsk pt. to do the kegel’s exercise at home for 80 times per day. Kegel’s can do in every static position like sitting and standing.
Do kegel’s every times pt. fell like to do stress activity to pelvic floor muscles.
Evaluation
• Pt able to do the kegel’s exercise correctly
• KIV biofeedback training
Review
• Reassess the grade of the pelvic floor muscle
• Continue with biofeedback training and kegel’s ex. On the gym ball on next visit
