Overview

As a woman, you may have heard of vaginal prolapse. This condition occurs when the vaginal walls or organs within the pelvis slip or drop out of place, causing discomfort and distress.

Although vaginal prolapse can affect women of any age, it is more common in older women or those who have given birth vaginally.

2. A bulging or bulge-like sensation in the vaginal area
3. Difficulty while urinating or having a bowel movement

Diagnosis of Vaginal Prolapse:

Diagnosis is usually made with a thorough clinical history, physical examination and pelvic examination. We can categorize different stages of prolapse from mild to moderate or severe.
