Preview As many as 20% of postmenopausal women may have symptomatic genital prolapse, but often they do not report it because of embarrassment or a belief that it is a natural consequence of aging. Dr Davila discusses predisposing factors in prolapse, associated urinary dysfunction, and conservative treatment approaches.
