Is it _dangerous_ to ignore symptoms of pelvic prolapse?
Not treating a significant pelvic prolapse may be dangerous in that continued incomplete emptying of the bladder may lead to damage of the bladder muscle from ‘over stretching’ the bladder, thus making it more difficult to empty the bladder. Also, at times the tubes that drain the kidneys into the bladder may be ‘kinked’ with a large prolapse and this may cause severe damage to the kidneys which may be totally ‘silent’ (i.e. without symptoms).
