Infertility
Simplistically speaking, the organs within a woman’s pelvis (uterus, bladder and rectum) are normally held in place by ligaments and muscles known as the pelvic floor. Prolapse occurs If these support structures are weakened by overstretching and the pelvic organs can bulge (prolapse) from their natural position into the vagina.
