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

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.

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
Four Diamond Rosen Shingle

brides and guests The Spa at

that is perfect for all hair, makeup
and relaxation needs for the wedding
party, while the groomsmen

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.
