Utero-Vaginal Prolapse

Some women with a very mild degree of prolapse may not have any symptoms at all. However most women with significant prolapse may experience some of the followings:

• Dragging sensation or discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvis
• Sensation of swelling or fullness in the vagina
• Backache
• Vaginal discharge or bleeding
• Difficulty in passing motion or urine
• Urinary symptoms which include passing urine more frequently, a sensation of incomplete emptying of the bladder or leakage of urine during coughing, sneezing and straining.

Many of the above symptoms are relieved when lying down. The symptoms are worse in the evening and better in the morning.
