A member asked:

What does it mean when they say "redundant tissue" in vagina? is this just a nice way of saying you are prolapsing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Its a way to communicate that there are a lot of rolls and folds. Not abnormal. Doctors have to have a way of writing down what they see. Best wishes!
