This is particularly so in cases where urinary incontinence exists. If so, most experts agree that a full urologic evaluation take place before treatment is begun. It has been my experience that long term success is more likely if both problems, urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse are treated together, surgically or medically. In summary, the symptoms associated with pelvic prolapse can have a profound impact on a woman's quality of life. Surgical treatment may be indicated if the prolapse is severe or if symptoms are significant.
Surgical treatment offers a good success rate with minimal complications and recovery time.
