Prolapse occurs when a woman’s pelvic floor muscles, tissues and ligaments weaken and stretch. This can result in organs dropping out of their normal position. Vaginal prolapse refers to when the top of the vagina also called the vaginal vault sags and falls into the vaginal canal. In severe cases, the vagina can protrude outside of the body. Hysterectomy, a surgery to remove a woman’s uterus, is sometimes performed to treat uterine prolapse. However, vaginal prolapse can occur after a hysterectomy (regardless of the reason for the hysterectomy). This is called “vaginal prolapse after hysterectomy.” Vaginal prolapse is relatively common. About one-third of women will experience some degree of prolapse during their lifetime. If you have more than one risk factor, your chances of developing vaginal prolapse increase.
