MATTER OF HEALTH

An Inconvenient Pressure

submitted by Orlando Health

winniepalmerhospital.com/pelvicfloor

29

If getting through your day includes

bouts with pressure on your lower regions,

you may be experiencing pelvic

organ prolapse, a type of pelvic floor

disorder. Pelvic floor disorders or similar

conditions affect about one-third of all

women throughout their lifetimes.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles

and tissues that form a kind of hammock,

keeping the pelvic organs in place. These

organs include the bladder, uterus, vagina,

small bowel and rectum. “Prolapse”

refers to a descending or drooping of

any of these pelvic floor organs.

How Do I Know if I

Have Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

According to Dr. Eileen Farwick,

board-certified urogynecologist with

Winnie Palmer Hospital for

Women & Babies, the most common

symptom of pelvic organ prolapse is the

pressing of the uterus or other organs

against the vaginal wall. This pressure

may cause minor discomfort or problems

in how your pelvic organs function.

Symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse

include:

• A feeling of pelvic pressure.

• A feeling as if something is actually

falling out of the vagina.

• A pulling or stretching in the groin

area or a low backache.

• Painful intercourse.

• Spotting or bleeding from the

vagina.

• Urinary problems, such as involuntary

release of urine, or a frequent or

urgent need to urinate.

• Problems with bowel movements,

such as constipation.

Standing, jumping and lifting can

make these symptoms worse, while discomfort

is usually relieved by lying down.

What Causes

Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

The pelvic organs are kept in place

by a group of muscles and connective

support tissue lining the pelvic

floor. The most common conditions that

contribute to prolapse are listed below:

• Hysterectomy before menopause.

Studies have shown that the removal of

the uterus before menopause may have a

negative effect on the support of the bladder,

rectum or vaginal connective tissue.

• Pregnancy can stretch and damage

tissue and nerves of the pelvic floor,

causing an increased risk of prolapse.

Delivery method, as well as the size of

babies delivered, can all contribute to an

increased risk of prolapse.

• Lower estrogen levels that occur at

menopause contribute to the increased

risk of prolapse as women age. Estrogen

supports the production of collagen, a

protein that enables tissue to stretch and

return to normal position. As estrogen

levels decline, pelvic tissue becomes less

elastic and can tear.

• Other factors that influence the risk

of prolapse are obesity, chronic constipation,

chronic cough due to lung disease,

chronic heavy lifting and genetic

predisposition.

Wait ... That’s Happening to Me

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms

of pelvic organ prolapse, it would be

wise to talk with your doctor. Pelvic organ

prolapse can be a progressive condition,

gradually worsening over time. According

to Dr. Farwick, “Many cases of pelvic organ

prolapse may actually improve with

early intervention, such as pelvic floor

therapy and other treatments.”

It’s worth checking out, because really,

who needs all that added pressure? ª

Put More You in Your Wedding Day!

Nearly every bride and groom can find ways to give their special day some unique touches.

A wedding day is filled with symbolic

traditions, from varied religious

customs to the never-ending circle

reflected in the rings and the types

of flowers accentuating the celebration.

Even with all the traditional

rituals to consider, nearly every

bride and groom can find ways to

give their special day some unique

touches that reflect their personality

and love.

Music sets the mood for every

wedding, and it’s an easy place to

put your own spin on the celebration.

Whether you forgo the traditional

bridal march entirely or simply

look for an arrangement that gives

an updated twist to the classic version,

let guests know this isn’t your

average wedding by setting the festivities

against a soundtrack that lets

your true character shine.

The wedding party is intended to

be a collection of those nearest and

dearest to the bride and groom, who

help ensure the day goes off without

a hitch and who lead fellow revelers

in celebrating the start of the

new couple’s life together. That being

said, there’s no reason this group

must be limited to women on her side

and guys on his, or even that it’s limited

to humans — a beloved pooch

can make for an adorable ring bearer,

after all.

Photography is an essential element

of your big day, but think

beyond the images you’ll capture

throughout the wedding and reception.

Photos lend a personal touch,

no matter what your color scheme or

theme. Integrate photos of the two

of you at various stages of life, together

as a couple and with loved

ones (perhaps even some you’re

honoring in memoriam). You can

display these at a table with the

guest book, as part of the table centerpieces,

or even on the gift table.

Or take things digital and load

all your images into a slideshow

set to music.

Make favors meaningful. Forgo

more common items like bubbles

and chocolate, and instead send

a little of yourself home with your

guests. Maybe it’s a memento from

a place with special meaning to

you both or a bottle opener shaped

like a bicycle to represent the way

you met. Just think about the moments

and things that define you

as a couple and do some searching

online. You’ll probably be surprised

by how quickly the options

pile up.

Serve up a menu that shows guests

more about your life together. Your

loved ones can order basic beef

or chicken anywhere. Instead, give

them a glimpse into you. Make your

main course the same food you enjoyed

on your first date or during

another monumental moment in your

courtship. Or plan the entire menu

around a region that you hold close

to your heart.

Weddings are filled with traditions,

but that doesn’t mean you can’t

put your own touches on the day for

a special event filled with memories

that are uniquely your own.

A Step Above the Rest!

Rest-assured and tailor-made:

words that embody the perfect description

of a Rosen Hotels &

Resorts wedding and The Rosen

Difference, which is why so many

Southwest Orlando brides entrust

Rosen Hotels with their special

day. Composed of three beautiful

hotels and situated within reach

of Orlando International Airport

and local attractions, Rosen Hotels

& Resorts offers three spectacular

options for dream weddings to

come true.

Rosen Shingle Creek, Rosen Plaza

and Rosen Centre are where Rosen

wedding packages and every need

of a wedding — from bachelor/bachelorette

parties to wedding ceremonies/reception

preparations to even

amenities for the wedding guests

— are all cared for with the utmost

professionalism.

The 1,501-guest room AAA

brides and guests The Spa at

that is perfect for all hair, makeup

and relaxation needs for the wedding

PROMOTIONAL FEATURE

Rosen Shingle Creek

Rosen Centre. The sophisticated

hotel also offers Harry’s Poolside

Bar & Grill, with its colorful water

ambiences, and 150,000 square feet

of indoor and outdoor event space.

Newlywed Melissa (Bosser)

Freire recalled how thorough the

staff of the Rosen Centre was in

making every detail count for her

December wedding to husband

Jorge Freire.

“One of my favorite moments included

the bride and groom reveal

of the reception room before anyone

else had seen the room,” she said.

“We were stunned at how beautifully

they coordinated the colors of

Malibu and white for our wedding.

Everything was set perfectly, from

the buffet stations to the decorations

and gorgeous flowers.”

The 800-guest room Rosen Plaza,

also located on International Drive,

is known for all-inclusive packages

complete with decor and wedding

planning services, with which the

boutique hotel can easily accommodate

cultural weddings. For added

flair, Rosen Plaza offers the new

3NINE entertainment destination,

which creates a unique reception

area with a spacious dance floor,

built-in lighting and sound systems,

and multiple flat-screen TVs for

photos or videos of the family to

play. Rosen Plaza also houses the

acclaimed Zayde’s Kosher Catering

that is available to all Rosen Hotels

& Resorts and Central Florida

venues.

Although each hotel provides various

amenities to the married couple,

wedding party and guests, the hotels

collectively uphold “The Rosen

Difference” for the couple in accommodating

any request or desire that

is wanted for the wedding. Whether

it is working with budgets to delicious

plated or buffet meals available

at all three locations to in-house

wedding coordinators present to customize

your dream day, you are not

just appreciated guests at Rosen; you

are family.

“I felt that each member of the

team genuinely cared for the outcome

of our special day,” Melissa

said. “With the various team members

involved, it was possible to enjoy

our wedding day and not have

to worry about every detail of the

wedding.”

It’s The Rosen Difference, making

your wedding day a precious memory

to cherish.
