Early medical termination of pregnancy at home telephone call sheet. 

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is characterised by the descent of one or more pelvic organs from their normal position into the vagina. It is estimated that POP affects up to 1 in 10 women over 50 years of age. The aetiology is often multifactorial.

POP can be asymptomatic and may not require treatment. However, women can experience symptoms which can have a significant impact upon quality of life, including discomfort, a dragging sensation, with effects on bladder and bowel symptoms and sexual function.

The following guideline outlines management options available to women wishing treatment to help control symptoms.
