You may: Prolapsed uterus, when symptomatic, will cause the patient to experience heaviness sensation, a feeling like something is falling out, worse while standing or exertion . You need to be examined in order to ascertain the degree of relaxation and decide with your provider what type of treatment is suitable for you.

Agree: Will need to see a urogyn and discuss surgery vs pessary options.

Sounds like prolapse: Considering your history and the symptoms that you describe you probably do have some type of prolapse. Many women can feel something bulging through the vaginal opening. To check, place fingers at the vaginal opening while seated on a toilet and bear down as if you are trying to have a bowel movement. Your doctor could determine exactly what parts are dropping and discuss treatment options.
