In addition to urinary and bowel issues, you may have pelvic pain, pressure, or a feeling of heaviness, which may be worse with certain activities such as prolonged standing, lifting, or coughing. You may also notice a bulging of your pelvic organs, such as your uterus or bladder, from your vagina or rectum, which may cause discomfort. Further, you may have pain, reduced sensation, and difficulty with sexual intercourse.
