What Treatments are available?

The following treatments may help reverse
pelvic organ prolapse:

Surgery – Surgical suspension surgery is usually the last resort for severe prolapse. For a severe uterine prolapse, doctors may suggest a hysterectomy. Very extreme cases may require that the vagina be sewn shut. It is important to note that surgery does not always fix the problem and in rare cases can make pelvic organ prolapse worse.

Pessary – A device is designed to fit inside the vagina and provide support for the pelvic organs. The devices are typically plastic, although some alternative materials are used as well. Many women wear pessaries with little or no discomfort and some pessaries can be worn during sex.
