What are the symptoms associated with prolapse?
Usually there is a feeling of 'something coming down? or vaginal discomfort. Some women are aware of a dragging ache in the pelvis. The degree of prolapse does not necessarily match the severity of symptoms that you may experience. Sometimes we find quite marked prolapse but the patient has no symptoms. Other women report quite severe symptoms although there may be only minimal prolapse. Most backaches are due to problems in the back, although, on occasion, repair of a prolapse may provide some relief.
If there is a cystocoele there may be bladder symptoms (Chapter 29).
