Urogenital prolapse

It may not be life-threatening, but it affects the quality of a woman’s life. 

THE female pelvic organs, that is, the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries, are supported by the levator ani and the endopelvic fascia. The former is a muscle complex that is contracted at rest to form a stable platform on which the pelvic organs rest. The latter is a connective tissue network that envelops the pelvic organs and attaches them loosely to the pelvic muscles and bones.
