Prolapse of the womb (uterus) is a common condition in women with up to half of women who have had children being affected. The womb and vaginal walls are held in place by muscle, tissues and ligaments.

Prolapse occurs for many reasons including childbearing when these are weakened.

Possible causes of a Prolapse:
