Vaginal prolapse: management with nonsurgical techniques

Postgraduate Medicine
G W Davila

Abstract

Obvious genital prolapse should not be ignored. Undoubtedly, it will progress, lead to worsening symptoms and alterations in pelvic function, and become more difficult to treat. Conservative management approaches include pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises for mild prolapse and use of vaginal pessaries to mechanically support prolapsed tissues. Comprehensive evaluation of bladder and urethral function should be done before any surgical repair is undertaken. Reconstructive surgery provides definitive therapy if all anatomic defects are addressed and the necessary lifestyle changes (eg, avoidance of exertional activities) are instituted.
