Gynecological prolapse

 
The primary treatment consists of pelvic floor exercises and treatment of the mucous membranes. If the prolapse causes significant symptoms that do not improve with exercise, surgical treatment may be considered. The surgery is usually performed through the vagina with spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia. If the front and back vaginal walls, and thus the bladder and rectum, have descended, they are repositioned using absorbable stitches.
Before the procedure, you will need to visit a gynecologist for an evaluation.
