The full guide
Understanding Your Prolapse
What it is, what your real options are.
The appointment is never long enough. There is a version of this conversation that takes an hour, and clinic does not have an hour — so Mr George Morgan wrote it down.
This is a guide to one condition, written by the surgeon who treats it. It will not fix your prolapse and it is not a substitute for being seen. What it will do is mean you walk into your next appointment knowing which type you have, what your stage does and does not tell you, and which questions are worth asking.

Payment is handled by Stripe. At checkout you will be asked to confirm you want the download straight away and that you understand this waives the 14-day cancellation right — see the terms.
No payment was taken — your checkout was cancelled. Nothing has been charged, and the guide is still here whenever you want it.
What's inside
A digital book has no weight and no cover to pick up, so here is the actual contents.
- What prolapse actually is — the mechanism, in plain English, and why it is not your fault.
- The four main types — anterior, posterior, uterine and vault, and why knowing yours changes the conversation.
- How bad is mine? — what staging measures, and the thing it does not measure.
- Symptoms — what is prolapse-related, what is not, and what to mention to your GP.
- Your four real options — including the two most women are never offered.
- The pessary option in depth — fitting, living with one, sex, exercise, maintenance.
- Surgery — when it is the right answer, when it is not, and what to ask.
- Lifestyle factors that genuinely matter — and the ones that do not.
- The conversation to have with your specialist — the questions, written out.
- Working out what's right for you.
And two things to write on
- The symptom diaryTrack what happens and when, so the pattern is visible rather than remembered.
- The prolapse summaryOne page to take to an appointment, so nothing gets forgotten in the room.
Both worksheets are also available free on their own — they are a genuine excerpt, not a teaser. If you already have them, you will find them again here in context.
Being straight about what this is
It is a consultant's guide to one condition. It is not a cure, not a treatment plan, and not personal medical advice — nobody can give you that without examining you.
If what you actually need is an appointment, book an appointment. If what you need is to understand your own situation well enough to have a useful conversation at that appointment, this is what it is for.
The free page on prolapse covers the shape of all this. The guide is the long version.
