Prolapse can present with a variety of symptoms but often women complain of feeling a pressure or lump in the vagina. It may interfere with intercourse or their ability to urinate or defecate. It is important to realise that prolapse is common, especially after having children, and is best managed if detected in the early stages. Pelvic floor exercises and avoiding straining can improve mild symptoms whilst surgical repair may be needed in more severe cases.
