“Something feels like it's coming down.”

Pelvic organ prolapse

The short version

Prolapse is one of the pelvic organs slipping down from where it normally sits, because the tissue holding it has stretched or weakened. It is extremely common and it is not your fault. Two things are worth knowing before any appointment: which type you have, because the four types behave differently, and that you have four options rather than two — surgery and putting up with it are the ends of the range, not the whole of it.

The information on this site is general and does not replace a consultation. If you are unwell, bleeding heavily or in severe pain, contact your GP or call 111.


You can just ask a question.

You don't need a referral to get in touch, and asking doesn't commit you to anything. Tell us what's going on and we'll come back to you with whether it's something Mr Morgan can help with.
