What Men Need to Know About Pelvic Prolapse.
Pelvic Prolapse is another
term used for "pelvic organ prolapse." Pelvic prolapse is a very common condition, particularly among older women. It's estimated that half of women who have children will experience some form of Pelvic Organ Prolapse in later life. Many women, particularly because they may no longer be sexually active, and fail to continue receiving their annual pelvic exams, don't seek help from their doctor. Therefore, the actual number of women affected by Pelvic Organ Prolapse is unknown.
Pelvic Prolapse may also be called; genital prolapse, pelvic relaxation, uterine
prolapse, uterovaginal prolapse, pelvic floor disorder, urogenital prolapse or vaginal wall
prolapse.

What is a Prolapsed Uterus?
A Prolapsed Uterus refers to a collapsed uterus, or descended uterus, or other change in the position of the uterus in relation to the surrounding structures within the pelvis. The pelvis contains many soft tissue structures vital to normal body functions, supported primarily by the diaphragms, layers of muscles, fibrous coverings called fasciae, and various ligaments and tendons. These soft tissues of the pelvis derive their ultimate support from the bony pelvis.
A Prolapsed Uterus may be one of three types, depending on the severity:
First-degree prolapse occurs when the uterus sags downward into the upper
vagina.
Second-degree prolapse occurs when the cervix is at or near the outside of the
vagina.
Third-degree prolapse (sometimes referred to as total prolapse) occurs when the entire uterus extends outside the vagina.
