No prolapse. Organs are well supported.
The organ has dropped slightly but is still >1cm above the vaginal opening. Often symptom-free.
The bulge is right at the vaginal opening (±1cm). Symptoms start appearing.
The bulge protrudes >1cm outside the vagina. It rubs against clothes and may bleed.
Procidentia. The entire organ (uterus/vagina) is completely outside the body.
Treatment by Stage
"We treat the patient, not the X-ray. If you have Stage 2 prolapse but no pain, we might not operate yet."
Dr. Jaya explains that early stages can be treated with Kegels and Pessaries. Surgery is usually reserved for symptomatic Stage 2, 3 & 4.
