Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse happens when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs (the uterus, bladder, or rectum) become weak or loose. This allows one or more of the pelvic organs to drop or press into or out of the vagina which causes pain and other problems.

Pelvic organ prolapse doesn't usually present such a big health problem or concern. In some cases, it gets better on its own.

Treatment of pelvic organ prolapse depends on how severe the symptoms are.
