Genital prolapse refers to the descent of the internal female genital organs, particularly the vagina and uterus, due to a weakness or damage to the supportive and connective tissue in the pelvis. This condition is common and increases with age. With the demographic trend of an aging population, a further increase in prevalence is expected in the coming decades. A mild prolapse can remain asymptomatic and does not necessarily have to be considered pathological. However, in cases of significant descent, a variety of symptoms can occur, significantly affecting quality of life. In such cases, various conservative and surgical treatment options are available.
