Hey, it's Dr. Betsy Greenleaf here answering questions for the plusOne community.

What is a vaginal prolapse?

There are ligaments that hold everything in place, and so when we have the vagina, the bladders on one side, the rectums on the other, and the uterus is on the top, sometimes the ligaments that are holding things up get damaged from childbirth, from pregnancy, from lifting heavy objects and things now start to droop and drop, and that's what causes a vaginal prolapse and now it's fallen and can't get up.
