Can you tell me about vaginal prolapse?

Discomfortness: Any prolapse will cause discomfort to that area and pain on penetration.

Yes: Vaginal prolapse is a type of hernia that results in the feeling of a bulge coming out of the vaginal area. It can be associated with childbirth, obesity, smoking, chronic constipation, and chronic heavy lifting. Your doctor can do a pelvic exam to see if you have this, but most often women know they have it when they feel or see a bulge in the vaginal area.

Vaginal Prolapse: The descent of the apical, anterior and/or posterior walls of the vagina towards or through the vaginal introitus. The risk factors include multiple vaginal deliveries, aging, and history of previous hysterectomy. Also referred to as pelvic organ prolapse, enterocele (apical descent), cystocele (anterior descent), or rectocele. Women may feel pelvic pressure, or a bulge with wiping with this.
