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.
