Although many women are prone to pelvic prolapse after motherhood, it may not always cause complications of health.

Treatment decisions should take into account which organs are affected, how bad symptoms are, and whether other medical conditions are present. Other important factors are your age and sexual activity. In the initial stages of pelvic organ prolapse, lifestyle changes may be sufficient to bring the prolapsed organs back to their regular positions. However, in complicated cases and where lifestyle changes do not bring about requisite effects, medical intervention may be necessary.
