What treatment is recommended for vaginal prolapse?
Treatment for prolapse should be done by a qualified urogynaecologist. It may either be surgical or conservative (non surgical).
Before any surgery is done, you should have a thorough investigation – including a Urodynamic Study – to ensure there are no other underlying conditions.
Sydney Urodynamic Centres are highly qualified urodynamics specialists. We can conduct tests for vaginal prolapse and other urinary problems for you, or through your doctor.
