  While prolapse is not considered a life-threatening condition, it may be painful and distressing. [uvahealth.com]

  Patients present with a sensation of vaginal pressure, discomfort, and/or pain. The protruded pelvic organ is visualized and assessed during inspection. [amboss.com]

  Vulvar symptoms (burning, pain, itching, dyspareunia, and discharge) were measured by asking respondents to rate the severity of each symptom from 0 (none) to 10 (most severe). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The most common symptoms of a vaginal vault prolapse are: a feeling of pressure in the abdomen and vagina painful intercourse back pain vaginal bleeding urinary incontinence The pelvic floor is a layer of muscles that stretches like a hammock from the [womenshealthmatters.ca]

• Falling

  Rectocele (bulging rectum) — This occurs when the rectum falls. It may cause discomfort and difficulty having bowel movements. [uvahealth.com]

  Even after a hysterectomy, the top of the vagina (called the vaginal cuff or vaginal vault) can still fall. [california.providence.org]

  The bladder can fall into the vagina. The rectum can fall into the vagina. The uterus can protrude to the outside of the vagina. The tip of the vagina can protrude to the outside. The bowel can also move into the vagina. [chihealth.com]

  Pelvic Organ Prolapse occurs when the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, vagina and rectum) fall downward and bulge out through the opening of the vagina. [umwomenshealth.org]

  Pelvic Floor Injury Injury to any part of the pelvic floor can occur during vaginal delivery, surgery, pelvic radiation, or fractures to the back and pelvis caused by falls or motor vehicle accidents. [voicesforpfd.org]

• Asymptomatic

  There are two types of pelvic organ prolapse, asymptomatic and symptomatic. Asymptomatic POP means that while the hernia has taken place, nothing extends beyond the vaginal opening. [nafc.org]

  POP types were recorded as asymptomatic, anterior, apical, and posterior compartment prolapses. [go.gale.com]

  Most patients with pelvic organ prolapse are asymptomatic. Symptoms become more bothersome as the bulge protrudes past the vaginal opening. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Collapse

  In women, the condition usually occurs when the pelvic floor collapses after gynecological cancer treatment, childbirth or heavy lifting. [2] In men, it may occur after the prostate gland is removed. [en.wikipedia.org]

  The trauma of a second childbirth had caused the muscles and tissues that form a supportive hammock for my pelvic organs to collapse. Since my disorder was so advanced, my bladder was actually beginning to protrude outside of my body. [self.com]

• Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection

  Though unusual, severe prolapse can block the flow of urine and cause recurrent urinary tract infections or even kidney damage. [uclahealth.org]

  This can cause recurrent urinary tract infections or even kidney damage. Since the symptoms associated with prolapse often progress very gradually, the adaptive changes in physical or social activities may go unnoticed until they are extreme. [bidmc.org]

  Complications Ulceration and infection of organs prolapsed outside the vaginal introitus may occur. Urinary tract complications include stress incontinence, chronic retention and overflow incontinence, and recurrent urinary tract infections. [patient.info]

• Chronic Cough

  Causes include pregnancy and childbirth, ageing and menopause, obesity, chronic cough, chronic constipation, and heavy lifting. [sahealth.sa.gov.au]

  Hysterectomy, pelvic surgery, and conditions associated with sustained episodes of increased intra-abdominal pressure, including obesity, chronic cough, constipation, and repeated heavy lifting, also contribute to prolapse. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  DO treat chronic cough. Don’t smoke. Smoking can cause chronic cough. DO keep to a healthy body weight. DON’T lift heavy objects (more than 20 to 25 pounds). [carle.org]

  Aging Menopause Obesity Pregnancy Chronic cough Heavy lifting Pelvic surgeries Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse Some of the obvious ones include the feeling something is falling out of the vagina or there is a protrusion or bulge. [chihealth.com]

• Constipation

  If it's the rectum, constipation and uncomfortable intercourse often occur. A backache as well as uncomfortable intercourse often accompanies small intestine prolapse. Uterine prolapse is also accompanied by backache and uncomfortable intercourse. [webmd.com]

  Straining during bowel movements, heavy lifting, coughing, and constipation should be avoided. Eating high-fiber foods can help constipation. Kegel exercises involve tightening pelvic floor muscles and can help symptoms. [carle.org]

• Fecal Incontinence

• Urinary Stress Incontinence

  Women undergoing native tissue repair had a lower mean grade of cystocele (P=0.023) and a higher rate of urinary stress incontinence (P=0.017) than patients treated with transvaginal mesh. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Symptoms often include vaginal discomfort, DYSPAREUNIA; URINARY STRESS INCONTINENCE; and FECAL INCONTINENCE. [medvik.cz]

  Also, urinary stress incontinence — urine leakage during coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising — related to weakness of the urethra may also be a symptom. [summahealth.org]

  Urinary tract complications include stress incontinence, chronic retention and overflow incontinence, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Bowel dysfunction may occur with a rectocele. [patient.info]

• Urinary Urgency

  Watch for symptoms of urinary tract infections such as urinary urgency or frequency, blood in the urine or burning with voiding. Tell your doctor if you have these symptoms. Weight loss is a very important aspect of bladder control and POP. [lhsc.on.ca]

  Urination problems, including leaking pee (incontinence), the need to pee frequently (urinary frequency) or the sudden urge to pee (urinary urgency). [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  Symptoms may also be independent of the prolapse, for example, symptoms of overactive bladder (urinary urgency) or urinary stress incontinence when a cystocele is present. [doi.org]

If pain is not relieved, proceed with workup or referral to address the cause of pain. Similar pessary trials can be applied for constipation and urinary complaints that the patient attributes to prolapse. [journals.lww.com]

Delay was evaluated by calculating symptom onset and time of arrival to get treatment at Gondar University Hospital. Regression analysis was conducted to elicit predictors of delay for treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment First-line treatment for all cases of POP. May be definitive treatment for patients with manageable symptoms ( low-grade POP) who would like to avoid complications of surgery or patients at high risk of surgical complications. [amboss.com]

Both non-surgical and surgical options are offered for treatment of POP. The severity of prolapse and which organs are most affected by POP will determine which treatment option is best. [pelvicfloorcenter.org]

Lastly, the short form of the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7) was used to evaluate prognosis of surgical patients and twenty patients finished the follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Good prognosis is associated with young age, good physical health and a BMI within normal limits. [patient.info]

This review encapsulates contemporary concepts of etiology, prevalence, and management of POP and pregnancy in the adult female BE patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology POP is due to an insufficiency of the pelvic floor muscles and the ligamentous supportive structure of the uterus and vagina, which may be caused by: References: [1] [2] Clinical features Patients with POP may present with concurrent complications [amboss.com]

Although the etiology of POP is multifactorial, but vaginal delivery is recognized as the strongest risk factor by many epidemiologic studies. [intechopen.com]

In the etiology of sexual dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence have an important role. [acikerisim.pau.edu.tr]

The pathophysiology of pelvic organ prolapse is multifactorial and includes genetic predisposition, aberrant connective tissue, obesity, advancing age, vaginal delivery and other risk factors. [doi.org]

Conclusion Better understanding of pelvic functional anatomy, helps in understanding the pathophysiology of POP. [intechopen.com]

Neither aetiology nor pathophysiology of FPOP is fully understood. [racgp.org.au]

Primary prevention Some aetiological factors for FPOP, such as obesity or genetic factors, are difficult or impossible to modify. [racgp.org.au]

After surgery it is equally as important to maintain and prevent other prolapses from occurring. There is much more than just the physical symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse. [coresetfitness.com]

Prevention While there are some causes of prolapse that you can’t prevent, there are ways to decrease your chances of developing pelvic organ prolapse. [uihc.org]

Fiber helps prevent constipation and straining during bowel movements. Preventing constipation may reduce the risk of some pelvic floor disorders. Do not smoke. Smoking can lead to chronic cough, which puts stress on the pelvic floor muscles. [womenshealth.gov]

There is a dearth of trials addressing lifestyle changes as a treatment for prolapse, and trials aimed at prevention of prolapse. [cochrane.org]
