Vaginal prolapse is a condition which occurs when a vagina is stretched to a point that its back or front wall bulges out when a woman makes physical movements. In other words we can simply say that it is a condition in which the structure of woman’s pelvic structure changes. It is a very discomforting condition in which the pelvic structures can protrude out of the vagina and the vaginal muscles find it difficult to keep all the organs in place.

There are many factors that can cause vaginal prolapse. In this article we are going to find out some of the main reasons of vaginal prolapse and some of the treatments available to treat this embarrassing condition.
