What questions should you ask about prolapse?
It’s helpful to prepare questions for your prolapse appointment. Consider asking about your type and stage of prolapse, treatment options, expected outcomes, and how to manage symptoms day to day.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Common questions include: What type of prolapse do I have? What stage is it? What are the risks and benefits of each treatment? How will treatment affect my lifestyle, intimacy, and future pregnancies? Are there non-surgical options? How can I prevent symptoms from worsening? Can I exercise, and which types are best? Will it affect my bladder or bowel? Write down your concerns so nothing is missed during your appointment. (NHS: Prolapse treatment)
