Overview
Anterior prolapse (known as anterior vaginal prolapse in women) or prolapsed bladder occurs when the bladder descends from its position and pushes on the vaginal walls or the pelvic floor muscles. This happens when the pelvic floor becomes weak or if sudden pressure is put on them, commonly during childbirth or heavy lifting. Mild to moderate cases of anterior prolapse can be treated non-surgically. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be required to repair the prolapse.
