Pelvic organ prolapse is rarely life threatening. But it can cause a few problems, such as:
- Bladder control problems (urinary incontinence)
- A kink in the urethra, the tube that carries your urine outside your body. This can make it hard to pee.
- Bowel control problems (fecal incontinence), with liquid or solid stools coming out
- Problems having bowel movements when stools get trapped
- Pain during sex
- Urinary tract infections
- Kidney damage if it blocks your pee
