When one of the pelvic organs falls into the vagina, it is known as a vaginal prolapse. This occurs due to an area of vaginal wall becoming weak and no longer being able to support the pelvic organs. Which organ prolapses, or falls into the vagina, depends on what area of the vaginal wall is weak.
There are a few different types of prolapse:
Vaginal prolapse, also known as vaginal vault prolapse, occurs when the top of the vagina weakens and collapses into the vaginal canal. In more serious cases of vaginal prolapse, the top of the vagina may bulge outside the vaginal opening.
ICD-10 code N99. 3 for Prolapse of vaginal vault after hysterectomy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
53.12 demonstrates three degrees of vaginal vault prolapse. The goal of any vault suspension should be to re-create a well-supported, functional vagina of appropriate length. A suspension to the level of the ischial spines usually results in a vagina that is at least 9 cm in length.

Anterior prolapse (cystocele) A dropped or prolapsed bladder (cystocele) occurs when the bladder bulges into the vaginal space. It results when the muscles and tissues that support the bladder give way.
There are several types of prolapse that have different names depending on the part of the body that has dropped.Cystocele—The bladder drops into the vagina.Enterocele—The small intestine bulges into the vagina.Rectocele—The rectum bulges into the vagina.Uterine Prolapse—The uterus drops into the vagina.More items...
Vaginal vault prolapse commonly occurs following a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus (womb)). Because the uterus provides support for the top of the vagina, this condition occurs in up to 40% of women after a hysterectomy. In a vaginal vault prolapse, the top of the vagina gradually falls toward the vaginal opening.
Suspension of the vaginal apex to the uterosacral ligaments (McCall culdoplasty) or to the sacrospinous ligaments at the time of vaginal hysterectomy is the mainstay for prevention of post hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse.
The four categories of uterine prolapse are:Stage I – the uterus is in the upper half of the vagina.Stage II – the uterus has descended nearly to the opening of the vagina.Stage III – the uterus protrudes out of the vagina.Stage IV – the uterus is completely out of the vagina.
Uterine prolapse happens when vaginal childbirth or other conditions weaken the muscles and tissues of the pelvic floor so they can no longer support the weight of the uterus. It can happen as a result of: Pregnancy/childbirths with normal or complicated delivery through the vagina.
Grade 4 cystocele is defined as extrusion of the bladder base beyond the vaginal introitus at rest and represents the extreme of anterior vaginal wall prolapse.
Signs and symptoms of moderate to severe uterine prolapse include: Sensation of heaviness or pulling in your pelvis. Tissue protruding from your vagina. Urinary problems, such as urine leakage (incontinence) or urine retention.
Prolapse severity is measured using the hymenal ring as a fixed reference point in POP-Q assessment. The hymenal ring sits approximately 1cm within the external entrance or opening to the vagina.
It consists of four grades: grade 0 – no prolapse, grade 1–halfway to hymen, grade 2 – to hymen, grade 3 – halfway past hymen, grade 4 –maximum descent. In 1996, an article by Bump et al.
First-degree prolapse: The organs have only slipped down a little. Second-degree prolapse: The organs have slipped down to the level of the vaginal opening. Third-degree prolapse: The vagina or womb has dropped down so much that up to 1 cm of it is bulging out of the vaginal opening.
