The pelvic organs (bladder, vagina, uterus and rectum) are supported by what is called pelvic floor, a complex network of muscles, fibrous tissues and ligaments also help keep the urethra closed. Often women of all ages to experience weakness in these muscles, especially after a pregnancy or childbirth, causing have problems controlling the bladder or the bladder to drop and stay at another position. At first, the treatment is based on conduct known as Kegel exercises, which are designed to improve the elasticity and muscle strength, and medication. But when these methods do not work it is possible for a pelvic floor reconstructive surgery, which is performed vaginally, although in certain cases (such as the drop of the uterus), laparoscopy, less invasive necessary is used. The goal of surgery is to correct pelvic floor abnormalities of the pelvic organs.
