Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) happens to between 30-50 percent of women in their lifetime, but only 2 percent of women develop symptoms. It is caused by the weakening and stretching of the tissues that hold the pelvic organs in place. When POP occurs, the organs bulge or prolapse into the vagina. More than one pelvic organ can prolapse at the same time. Organs that can be involved in POP include the bladder, the uterus, the rectum, the bowel and the top of the vagina (vaginal apex) after a hysterectomy.
