In simple words: Female genital prolapse happens when the organs in a woman's pelvis, like the uterus, bladder, or rectum, drop down and push against the walls of the vagina. This can cause the vagina to bulge out.

Female genital prolapse is a condition where one or more of the pelvic organs (vagina, uterus, bladder, or rectum) bulge into the vagina or outside the vaginal opening.This occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting these organs weaken or are damaged.

Example 1: A 55-year-old woman presents with pelvic pressure and a sensation of a bulge in her vagina. Upon examination, she is diagnosed with a second-degree uterine prolapse., A 70-year-old woman with a history of multiple vaginal deliveries complains of urinary incontinence and difficulty emptying her bladder. She is found to have a cystocele (bladder prolapse)., A 40-year-old woman with a history of chronic constipation and straining experiences rectal prolapse, where part of her rectum protrudes from the anus.

Documentation should include details of the pelvic examination findings, including the degree of prolapse (if applicable), associated symptoms, and impact on the patient's quality of life. Any prior treatments and their effectiveness should also be noted. Imaging studies, such as ultrasound or MRI, may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the prolapse.
