'Rahim Jatuh' is a lifelong problem
that will not go away by itself
‘Rahim jatuh’ is a type of pelvic organ prolapse. It’s a condition where our uterus falls out of its original position.
When left unattended and untreated, it will continue to fall into the vagina canal and finally outside of our body.
It is a highly bothersome and condition affecting our daily routine – from toileting to walking because of how our internal organs are hanging outside of the body.

A timely screening can make a huge difference in our treatment options – between RISKY SURGERY vs LOW RISK PELVIC REHAB.
Early detection can help you reverse and cure ‘rahim jatuh’, restore the support and also control of our bladder functions and vaginal tone.
If you have experienced these before, you should screen for Pelvic Organ Prolapse (P.O.P).
Pressure, Bulging feeling down there
It may feel like a ball or bouncy object is pushing out or constantly at the lower abdomen area. Sometimes with pain.
Pregnancy, Assisted Deliveries
It is a known risk factor that pregnancy can overstretch our inner muscles and cause our internal organs to move positions.
Assisted delivery procedures such as forceps and vacuum, episiotomy can further affect our perineal & pelvic region.
Spotting outside of menses
You start noticing blood spotting on your panties outside your menstruation cycle. You feel something is rubbing against your panties.
Leaking Urine Involuntarily
It indicates our pelvic floor is no longer strong and in control to support our internal organs from falling.
What can screening do for you?
- Prevent P.O.P
- Identify signs of early prolapse
- Reverse P.O.P early
- Avoid prolapse surgery
- Enjoy FREEDOM of activity and maintain quality of life
- Prevent related issues e.g. leaking urine, reduced intimate sensations, loss of confidence.
What happens if we do not screen for 'rahim jatuh'?
Left unmanaged, most women often only discover prolapse ('jatuh organ dalaman') when the internal organs are visible outside of the body.
When it is visible, it's a late-stage sign which is much harder to treat.
Worldwide, ~40% of women develop prolapse and the percentage increases with age.
Treatment options becomes more risky and more expensive when we reach Stage 3-4, such as surgery and post-surgery rehab.
Confessions of Pelvic Organ Prolapse patients:
(Patient A)
Baseball working its way out like a baby
Can you imagine a baseball is trying to work its way out of your vagina, towards your legs?
This is what Mrs. C has been experiencing since the age of 60 after going through 3 pregnancies previously and did not know she had weak pelvic muscles.
As Mrs. C would call it, having a “baseball butt” can make life difficult whether you’re standing up or sitting down and therefore, almost made it impossible for her to go anywhere without feeling completely demoralized and uncomfortable.
“I stopped going anywhere as the only comfortable position for me was just lying flat.”
“I couldn’t go scuba diving or even pick up my grandchildren because any time you pick up something, the pressure goes right to the pelvis.”
SUMMARY:
Prolapse is associated with a variety of urinary, bowel and sexual dysfunction which can significantly affect the quality of life and the emotional wellbeing of the patients negatively.
(Patient B)
More Mental than Physical
“Living with a prolapse is 80% mental. It’s an acute psychological battle which is way more damaging than managing the actual physical prolapse.”
SUMMARY:
Most of the time, women who experience P.O.P do not understand what is happening to their body and just use temporary coping methods to just “deal with it”. In the end they suffer physically as well as psychologically such as frustration and depression.
Don't let our Normal Quality of Life become a Luxury
Prolapse is usually associated with a variety of urinary, bowel and sexual dysfunction which may significantly compromise the quality of life of the patients.
Some people may feel that their femininity is at stake when their organs are waiting for surgical removal of the uterus to reduce the burden.
Yet there are so many causes and risk factors that causes us to develop Prolapse and we don't know them.
And once we develop Prolapse, normal activities such as walking, exercising, urinating and even intimacy moments can become difficult to achieve!
