Doctors use various stages to assess and describe the degree of which a woman’s uterine has prolapsed. There are four defined stages, which are based on the extent of movement of the vaginal walls and uterus.
The natural progression of pelvic organ prolapse varies from woman to woman.
There is no way to definitively say how fast the prolapse will worsen. In some patients, the uterine prolapse progresses through the stages in a short period of time. In most instances, it takes many years to notice a gradual worsening of pelvic organ prolapse.
Your doctor will help you determine steps to take to prevent worsening of your condition and help provide treatment options to manage your uterine prolapse symptoms.
