When should you see a doctor for prolapse?
You should see a doctor if you notice vaginal bulging, pressure, heaviness, discomfort, or bladder/bowel changes. Prompt assessment helps prevent symptoms from worsening and ensures you get the right support and treatment.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Seek prompt medical advice if you have vaginal bulge, pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections, or bowel symptoms. Urgent review is needed if you cannot pass urine or have severe pain. Early diagnosis supports best outcomes and symptom management. (NHS: When to see a GP)
