Does 3rd degree of prolapse uterus affect fertility?

YesNoMaybePerhaps: Well, yes, indirectly...it's sort of in the way, isn't it? Not conducive to much fun. Plus, you might assume that any organ out of its usual place won't function as well as when it's in it's normal position. Plus, in the long run it will probably just be a hassle for you (and anyone close to you) so you should probably get it taken care-of by a gynecologist, especially if you want to get pregnant

Possibly: After a review of the most recent literature on this topic,I found an article that although stated that to date not a single article could be found documenting this to be a cause of infertility,another article I found proved that a particularly newer kind of surgery on a women with 3rddegree prolapse did cause a successful pregnancy after 11years of infertility and that it does seem to be a factor

Limited data: There appears to be limited data in regards to uterine prolapse and fertility. There are case reports of uterine prolapse reportedly causing primary infertility, where the infertility was resolved by surgically fixing the prolapse. But many women are able to pregnant even with a prolapsed uterus.
