Direct Answer

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is when one or more pelvic organs — the bladder, uterus, or rectum — descend and press into the vaginal walls. It is very common, affecting up to 50% of women, yet it is rarely talked about. The reassuring news: prolapse symptoms can often be reduced or resolved with the right pelvic floor training, exercise, and guidance — you do not have to just live with it.

Key Takeaways

• Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects up to 50% of women and has been documented for nearly 4,000 years, yet it is still surrounded by stigma and silence.
• POP can involve the bladder, uterus, and/or rectum descending into the vaginal walls, and symptoms are often manageable — not something you must simply accept.
• Pelvic health is more than “just do your kegels”; reducing prolapse symptoms usually takes structured pelvic floor training and guidance.
• Exercise — especially glute work — is beneficial for the pelvic floor, and prolapse-safe workouts keep movement accessible even with symptoms.
• Being proactive helps too: pelvic floor training can help women with no symptoms avoid prolapse and incontinence down the road.

We are talking about Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

Research indicates that up to 50% of women have some degree of Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

“Pelvic Organ Prolapse has been on medical record for nearly 4000 years, dating back to the Kahun Gynaecologic Papyrus circa 1835 B.C., yet remains shrouded in stigmatized silence because of embarrassing symptoms. Women in every country around the world experience POP, yet seldom understand what is occurring in their bodies.” (Sherrie Palm is the Founder/CEO of the Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pelvic organ prolapse (POP)?
Pelvic organ prolapse is when one or more pelvic organs — the bladder, the uterus, and/or the rectum — descend and press into the walls of the vagina. It is a common condition that is often accompanied by symptoms many women find embarrassing, which is why it is so rarely discussed.

How common is pelvic organ prolapse?
It is very common. Research indicates that up to 50% of women have some degree of pelvic organ prolapse. Despite that, and despite being on medical record for nearly 4,000 years, it remains shrouded in stigmatized silence, and many women do not understand what is happening in their bodies.

Can prolapse be improved without surgery?
For many women, yes. Prolapse symptoms can often be reduced or eliminated with structured pelvic floor training, targeted exercise, and good guidance. Pelvic health is more than just doing kegels, so having a clear program to follow makes a meaningful difference.

Is it safe to exercise with prolapse?
Yes. Exercise can feel inaccessible when you are dealing with prolapse symptoms, but the right movement is beneficial for the pelvic floor — glute exercises in particular. Prolapse-safe workouts let you keep moving and building strength without aggravating symptoms.

Is prolapse just about doing kegels?
No. While pelvic floor muscle training matters, resolving prolapse is more than “just do your kegels.” It involves how you breathe, move, and manage pressure, plus a consistent, well-designed program — which is why guidance helps.

Can I prevent prolapse if I have no symptoms?
Yes. Being proactive is one of the best things you can do. Pelvic floor training is also for women with no symptoms who want to stay ahead of the common issues many women face, helping to prevent prolapse and incontinence before they start.
