Treatment of pelvic organ prolapse depends on how severe the symptoms are. Treatment can include a variety of therapies, including:
- Behavioral treatments, such as doing Kegel exercises designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles
- Mechanical treatments, such as putting a small, plastic device called a pessary into the vagina to support drooping organs
- Surgical treatment to repair the affected tissue or organ or remove the organ (such as removal of the uterus by hysterectomy)
