    Genital prolapse or pelvic organ prolapse is the protrusion of the pelvic organs into or out of the vaginal canal.

    Most
    cases are the result of damages to the vaginal and pelvic support tissues due to childbirth or due to chronically
    elevated intra-abdominal pressure. Several types of different types of pelvic prolapse exist.

    Prolapse can occur individually or in combination with a prolapse of another pelvic organ. Generally more than one
    organ is involved. Patients typically notice a mass or protrusion from the vagina followed by pelvic pressure and
    backache. Some patients may also have one or more symptoms of urinary incontinence, urinary retention, sexual
    dysfunction and difficulty with bowel movements.
