Many women experience vaginal prolapse or rectal prolapse of some degree in their lifetime. The latin meaning of prolapse, by Merriam-Webster, is defined as to fall or slide forward. There are many forms of prolapse including uterine, bladder and rectal that we see in women’s health. There are many reasons for prolapse, a few being: normal aging, lack of estrogen, multiple pregnancies, a history of vaginal delivery, smoking and obesity. Some women prior to their diagnosis of prolapse describe their symptoms as a pressure in their pelvis, a bulging at their vagina, feeling like they are sitting on a ball or block, and pain with intercourse.
Prolapse can lead to problems with urination, leaking of urination, difficulty having a bowel movement, pain with intercourse, higher risk of infection, and pain. Prolapse has varying degrees and does not require medical treatment unless causing problems with her life.
