Summary
Urogenital prolapse is the descent of the pelvic organs into the vagina. It is often seen in conjunction with bowel, bladder and/or sexual dysfunction symptoms, and although usually not life-threatening, can cause significant morbidity and decrease in quality of life. Pelvic organ prolapse is common and is present on examination in 40–60% of parous women [1].
