A prolapse is when the womb, bladder or bowel drops down into the vagina because the supporting muscles and tissues have weakened, often after childbirth and with age. Surgery lifts and supports the organs again. The usual operations repair the front or back wall of the vagina, remove the womb through the vagina, or fix the top of the vagina to the bone at the back of the pelvis (sacrocolpopexy). Exercises and a support pessary come first for many women.
Also called: Prolapse surgery, Anterior repair, Posterior repair, Vaginal repair, Sacrocolpopexy, Vaginal hysterectomy for prolapse

- 4

The operation and the stay, in writing, before a date is set.
- 5
The operation
Usually through the vagina under a spinal or general anaesthetic, or by keyhole for a sacrocolpopexy.
- 6
Follow-up₦25,000
A check at about six weeks, and pelvic floor exercises for life.
Afterwards
Recovery, realistically
First days
Most women stay one to three nights. A catheter may be needed for a day or two.
Weeks 1 to 6
Walking every day, but no heavy lifting, straining or sex. Treat constipation early.
After six weeks
Most women are back to normal activity. Keep up pelvic floor exercises and avoid heavy lifting long term.
Risks you should be told about
- The prolapse coming back, sometimes in another part of the vagina
- New leaking of urine, or difficulty emptying the bladder
- Pain during sex
- Bleeding and infection
- Injury to the bladder or bowel
Every operation carries risk. A surgeon who lists none is not being straight with you. Yours will go through these with you before you consent.
Questions people ask
Is vaginal mesh used?
Mesh placed through the vagina is no longer routinely used for prolapse because of its complications. Most repairs use your own tissue. Keyhole sacrocolpopexy uses a mesh placed from inside the tummy, and the surgeon will explain it if it is advised.
Do I need to remove my womb?
Not always. If the womb itself has dropped, removing it through the vagina is one option, and there are operations that keep it. The choice is made with you.
Will the prolapse come back?
It can, which is why heavy lifting, constipation and a chronic cough are worth tackling, and pelvic floor exercises are kept up after surgery.
