Current research suggests that Pelvic Organ Prolapse is unfortunately more common than we think.

Research has shown that:

Approximately 1 in 3 women will have a Stage 2-3 Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Approximately 1 in 9 women will ultimately require surgery for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
The risk of prolapse increases with age:

Age 60 = 1 in 9 women
Age 70 = 1 in 6 women
Age 80 = 1 in 5 women

Pelvic Organ Prolapse surgery accounts for three times as many surgeries as Stress Urinary Incontinence surgeries
1 in 3 women who have Pelvic Organ Prolapse surgery will need repeat surgery
75% of women have some degree of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
