Pelvic organ prolaps: Pop or pelvic organ prolapse is a broad topic. Sounds like you have rectal prolapse as part of your pelvic organ prolapse. At such a young age, you should take family/friend with you to hear the study results, ask questions and get details about recommendations for the next step. Depending on your symptoms, further testing is likely in order.
