That's a really important question, and it makes sense to wonder if MG is connected to what's happening with your pelvic floor.
Myasthenia gravis causes weakness in skeletal muscles by disrupting the signals between nerves and muscles. The pelvic floor is made up of skeletal muscles, so in theory, MG-related muscle weakness could potentially affect them.
However, bladder prolapse is most commonly linked to other factors such as:
- Weakened pelvic floor muscles over time
- Previous infections putting stress on the area
- Physical strain on the pelvic region
It's worth having an open conversation with both your neurologist and the specialist managing your prolapse. Let them know about your MG diagnosis so they can consider it when planning your treatment, as some medications used in treatment may interact with MG. It's also worth noting that MG can affect muscles beyond the obvious ones like arms and legs. Keeping your care team fully informed about all your symptoms — including any pelvic floor issues — is really important so nothing gets overlooked.
