Is vaginal bleeding a sign of prolapse?
A pelvic prolapse does not usually cause vaginal bleeding. However, in some cases, women may be unaware of their condition until the prolapse is severe, and standing or other physical activity makes vaginal tissue protrude through the vaginal opening. When this vaginal tissue rubs against a woman’s clothing, it may become irritated and bleed. In this situation, blood on the underwear or other evidence of vaginal bleeding, may be the first sign of a prolapse.
