You might not realize it, but osteoporosis can actually contribute to pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in women—here’s why:
- Weaker Bones = Less Support Osteoporosis thins and weakens bones, including those in the pelvis. Since these bones act like a "scaffold" for your bladder, uterus, and rectum, losing density means less structural support.
- Pelvic Floor Takes a Hit Too The same hormonal changes that weaken bones (looking at you, menopause!) also affect the muscles and ligaments holding everything in place. When both bone and muscle support decline, organs are more likely to shift.
- Falls Make Things Worse Osteoporosis increases fracture risk—and a bad fall can strain or damage already vulnerable pelvic tissues, speeding up prolapse.Here’s the Good News
While osteoporosis doesn’t directly cause POP, the link is real. If you’re dealing with prolapse, it’s worth asking your doctor about bone density testing—many women don’t realize they have osteoporosis until a fracture happens.
Strengthening bones helps both issues. Our Bone Support (Bone Support Supplement) supplement packs all the key nutrients (calcium, D3, K2, magnesium, and more) to:
- Slow bone loss
- Support pelvic floor resilience
- Reduce future risks
It’s like giving your skeleton and your pelvic floor a reinforced foundation.
