Can prolapse come back after surgery?

Yes, pelvic organ prolapse can return even after surgery. Recurrence rates vary depending on the type of repair, severity of prolapse, and individual risk factors.

Clinical Context

Symptoms such as bulge, heaviness, or pressure after surgery should always be assessed early by a specialist to prevent worsening.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NHS and NICE highlight that recurrence is possible but can be minimised with lifestyle and pelvic floor support.
