After Brittany Mahomes' advice, doctors offer ways to take care of pelvic floor problems

Linda Carroll is a regular health contributor to NBC News. She is coauthor of 'The Concussion Crisis: Anatomy of a Silent Epidemic' and 'Out of the Clouds: The Unlikely Horseman and the Unwanted Colt Who Conquered the Sport of Kings.'

When Brittany Mahomes recently advised moms to take care of their pelvic floors, she raised awareness of a condition that is more common than many young women realize. “Women don’t get educated about this, especially when they are younger, when they are of childbearing age,” said Dr. Deepanjana Das, a urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery specialist at the Cleveland Clinic.

“Other women might develop new bowel symptoms, such as loss of control or new constipation.” As the problem progresses, women might feel pressure as “either the rectum, the bladder or the uterus, or all three, bulge into the vagina,” Dmochowski said. “Women will sometimes describe this as feeling like a beach ball coming out of their vagina.” Some women don’t notice any symptoms and the prolapse is discovered during their annual exam, Dmochowski said.
