For example, weakness in the abdominal wall can lead to intestines bulging through the muscular support causing an abdominal hernia. Similarly, weakness in the muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor can cause loss of uterine support and lead to uterine prolapse. Pregnancy, childbirth, obesity and chronic coughing and lifting are some of the factors that predispose a woman to developing uterine prolapse. Uterine prolapse is a progressive condition that gets worse over time, if not treated
