The uterus (womb) is generally held in position by muscles, tissue and ligaments. Prolapse happens
when the tissues that support the uterus become so frail that the uterus cannot stay in position and it

In third-degree prolapse, the entire uterus is outside the vagina (called procidentia).
Symptoms
Some females with a prolapse of the uterus (womb) do not have any symptoms and the disorder is only
detected during an inner examination for another reason. Maximum females with a prolapse will
