Prolapse Conditions


The UI experts in the Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery Clinic can help women facing prolapse (bulging) problems, including:

  • Cystocele—prolapse of the bladder into the vagina
  • Rectocele—prolapse of the rectum into the vagina
  • Enterocele—prolapse of the small intestine into a space between the rectum and vagina
  • Uterine prolapse—prolapse or descent of the uterus into the vagina

The Clinic offers treatments for prolapse including:

  • Pessaries—silicone devices placed in the vagina to support the prolapsed vagina, bladder, rectum, or uterus. When properly fitted and cared for, pessaries can be worn comfortably and safely for many years.
  • Surgery—surgical treatments are available in some cases to treat prolapse
