- Asymptomatic
Introduction It has recently become clear that pelvic organ support in asymptomatic women varies markedly, with a significant minority of asymptomatic nulliparae showing first‐ or even second‐degree pelvic organ ‘prolapse’. [obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Most cases are asymptomatic or present with vaginal discharge, intermenstrual bleeding, dyspareunia or postcoital bleeding. Sometimes, this benign condition may present in unusual forms proving to be a diagnostic problem for clinicians. [liebertpub.com]
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]
Symptoms mild degrees of uterine prolapse are common and usually asymptomatic sense of fullness in vagina associated with a dragging feeling and discomfort sacral backache (due to stretching of ligaments) also in uterine prolapse may see cervix protruding [zen104556.zen.co.uk]
It can also be identified during routine smear, etc., and if asymptomatic no treatment is required. • ‘Something coming down’ within the vagina is the commonest symptom. [clinicalgate.com]
- Surgical Procedure
There are a number of different surgical procedures and approaches to treat prolapse. [womhealth.org.au]
Surgery Several types of surgical procedures can be carried out in order to treat a severe prolapse including: Hysterectomy A hysterectomy is a major procedure carried out to completely remove the uterus and is considered to be one of the most effective [bmihealthcare.co.uk]
