Pelvic Organ Prolapse Treatment in Ocala, FL
Pelvic pressure, bulging, or discomfort isn’t something you have to live with. If you’re experiencing symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, you’re not alone—and help is available. At Florida Women’s Health, Kelsey Lipking, MD, a fellowship-trained urogynecologist, offers specialized care to restore pelvic support, improve daily comfort, and help you regain your quality of life.
What Is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs—such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum—become weakened or stretched. This can allow one or more organs to drop (or “prolapse”) into the vaginal canal, causing pressure, bulging, and other symptoms.
Prolapse is common, especially after childbirth, menopause, or pelvic surgery—but it’s not a normal part of aging and can be effectively treated.
Signs and Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Women often describe a feeling that “something is falling out” or heaviness in the pelvic area. Common symptoms include:
- A bulge or pressure in the vagina
- Feeling like you’re sitting on a small ball or tampon
- Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowel completely
- Urinary incontinence or urgency
- Pain or discomfort with intercourse
- Lower back or pelvic aching
- Symptoms that worsen with standing, lifting, or at the end of the day
When to See a Urogynecologist
If you’re experiencing discomfort, pressure, or changes in bladder or bowel habits, it’s time to speak with a specialist. Dr. Kelsey Lipking, MD has advanced training in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. She offers a full range of treatments—from conservative options to minimally invasive surgery.
You should consider a consultation if:
- You notice a vaginal bulge or pelvic heaviness
- Prolapse is interfering with your daily activities, intimacy, or exercise
- You have incontinence or trouble emptying your bladder
- You’ve been told you need surgery and want a second opinion
Treatment Options at Florida Women’s Health
Every woman’s body and goals are different. At Florida Women’s Health, Dr. Lipking offers personalized treatment plans designed to restore pelvic function and improve your quality of life.
Conservative and Non-Surgical Options
- Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy – Strengthens the muscles that support the pelvic organs
- Pessary Fitting – A removable device worn in the vagina to support prolapsed organs

Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatments
When symptoms are moderate to severe, or when nonsurgical options are not effective, Dr. Lipking may recommend surgery to restore support:
- Vaginal or laparoscopic prolapse repair
- Uterine-sparing procedures (for women who wish to avoid hysterectomy)
- Bladder and rectal supportive procedures (cystocele/rectocele repair)
