Many women do not have any symptoms. Those that have symptoms may note a fullness or discomfort in the vagina, a sensation of heaviness or pulling in the pelvis and/or low backache that is relieved when lying down.
Other symptoms may be urinary frequency and/or stress incontinence – passing urine when laughing, coughing or exercising. Difficulty with bowel movements is associated with rectocele. Intercourse may be difficult or painful in women with prolapse.
