AB  - Pelvic  organ  prolapse  (POP)  is  a  common  condition  that  can  lead  to  urogenital  tract  dysfunction  and  diminished  quality  of  life.  Signs  include  descent  of  one  or  more  of  the  following:  the  anterior  vaginal  wall,  posterior  vaginal  wall,  uterus  and  cervix,  vaginal  apex,  or  the  perineum  (Haylen,  2010).  Symptoms  include  the  sensation  of  a  vaginal  bulge,  pelvic  pressure,  and  pelvic  organ  descent.  Some  degree  of  POP  is  present  in  a  large  proportion  of  the  female  population  (Swift,  2000).  It  is  considered  a  disease  state  only  if  surgical  or  nonsurgical  reduction  relieves  the  symptoms,  restores  function,  and  improves  quality  of  life.
