Someone who suffers with pelvic organ prolapse may experience the following symptoms:
- a visible lump in or protruding from the vagina
- difficulty passing urine and/or stress incontinence
- pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse
- a sore “dragging” sensation within the vagina
- a heavy, bloated feeling in the lower abdomen or genital area
In some cases, pelvic organ prolapse can be minor and go unnoticed. It may not be discovered until an examination such as a cervical screening or biopsy procedure for other reasons is carried out.
