Uterine prolapse  

Overview

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when one or more of the pelvic organs slips down from their usual place and bulges into the vagina. It might be the womb (uterus), the gut, the bladder, or the top of the vagina.

Uterine prolapse is the protrusion of the uterus into the vaginal canal as a result of the uterus's support structures deteriorating. This is a prevalent, non-life-threatening illness that causes severe morbidity in women.

 A prolapse does not endanger one's life, but it can cause pain and suffering. Symptoms can typically be alleviated with pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle modifications, although medical therapy is occasionally required.

This article discusses the causes, assessment, and treatment of uterine prolapse, as well as the role of healthcare practitioners in evaluating and treating people with this problem.
