What happens with pelvic organ prolapse?
Pelvic organ prolapse, sometimes called just prolapse or POP for short occurs when one or more of the pelvic organs (bladder, rectum and uterus) pushes against the weakened wall of the vagina. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic muscle support system is weakened. It’s common among women of all ages and can occur at any time, especially following childbirth.
