Is there scientific evidence linking osteoporosis of the pelvic bones to organ prolapse?

Research suggests that osteoporosis and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) may be linked - and if you're dealing with POP, it's worth understanding this connection. Let me break down what studies have found and what it means for you.

1. Korean Study on Advanced POP and Osteoporosis (over 4 million individuals): Women over 50 with advanced POP were much more likely to have osteoporosis. This wasn't just a one-time finding - the link showed up year after year.

2. Postmenopausal Women Study: Those with moderate-to-severe POP tended to have weaker bones in their spine and hips compared to women with mild or no prolapse.

3. Women's Health Initiative Analysis: Women with significant POP were more likely to have had fractures. Researchers think collagen problems might explain both the prolapse and bone issues.

4. Russian Study on Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Osteoporosis: The more severe a woman's prolapse, the more likely she was to have serious osteoporosis

There are a few possible reasons osteoporosis and POP often occur together:

  • Collagen problems - This protein keeps both bones and pelvic tissues strong
  • Hormone changes - Low estrogen affects bones and pelvic muscles
  • Pressure issues - Things like chronic coughing strain both bones and pelvic organs

If you have POP (especially after menopause or childbirth), it's smart to:

Get your bones checked - A simple test can show your bone strength
Support both issues together - Strengthening bones may help pelvic health too
That's why we created the KegelBoost Kit - it combines:

  • Bone Support (for stronger bones)
  • Vaginal suppositories & cream (to help pelvic tissues heal)

All products are hormone-free and safe. Many women find this combined approach works better than just doing Kegels alone.

Remember: Every woman's body is different, but taking care of your bones and pelvic health together makes good sense. Let us know if you'd like more details about the KegelBoost Kit! Click this link.
