Vaginal prolapse - you are not alone.

Vaginal prolapse, also known as pelvic organ prolapse, is a relatively common condition, especially among women who have given birth multiple times, undergone menopause, or experienced other factors that weaken the pelvic floor muscles. However, the exact prevalence can vary depending on factors such as age, ethnicity, and geographic location.

It's estimated that around 3% to 6% of women will experience symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse in their lifetime. However, many cases may go undiagnosed or untreated because some women may not seek medical attention due to embarrassment or a lack of awareness about treatment options.

Overall, while vaginal prolapse is not uncommon, it's important to remember that it's a treatable condition, and seeking medical advice can lead to effective management and improvement in symptoms.
