Bethesda Naval Hospital in America has created a great detailed video to explain prolapse to its patients.

This video can be accessed on YouTube, or viewed here:

The video covers the following points:

• What is prolapse?
• Different types of prolapse (explained using animated diagrams)
• Types of treatment that are available
• An overview of some types of surgery
• A detailed explanation of Sacrocolpopexy surgery
• A discussion of the risks and benefits of different types of treatments

These points are explained clearly in everyday language, making this video a great starting point to understanding prolapse.
